BBS BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND GLOBAL CULTURES

About

Degree Overview
>If you are fascinated by business in the complex and diverse world around us, then this is the degree for you!
>An essential challenge for businesses in Ireland is how they can connect the capabilities of our workforce to contribute to solutions for people who are largely in markets outside Ireland, across the EU and the wider global community. Business needs graduates who can both understand the fundamentals of how to create value for customers and also how to translate them into solutions and services that fit the needs of diverse cultures.
>Students on this degree can choose from one of three Business subjects (Management, Marketing or International Business) which they can combine with an array of Global Cultures modules, covering topics such as exploring cultures in global contexts, urbanisation, science and technology in society, security, consumption and sustainability, and user experience and service innovation.
>The optional work placement/study abroad will enable you to apply theory in practice, significantly improving employability upon graduation.
>Combine insights from Irelands youngest and most dynamic School of Business and from the only Anthropology Department in the Republic of Ireland. Our faculty are a blend of international and local industry experts and academics, who bring profound insights into the practicality and complexity of both Business and Global Cultures.
>There is a possible transfer option to this degree in second year for students who have completed the first year of the Bachelor of Arts degree (MH101) taking Business and Anthropology. See BA Degree for details.

Business subjects and Anthropology available in the MH101 degree.
