Overview

Careers Information

Many of our MBA students come from specific professional backgrounds – engineering, sciences, ICT, and finance, to name but a few. Their education and professional expertise have brought them to an advanced level in their organizations.

However, to take the next step up the managerial ladder, they need to develop their knowledge of how the wider organisation operates and what strategic and operational frameworks are used by top-level management teams.

The UCC CUBS Executive MBA provides our participants with the required learning and knowledge, allowing our graduates to progress in their careers.

In addition, the UCC Career Services, and our team at the UCC CUBS Executive MBA Programme Office, cooperate in delivering relevant and appropriate career support advice and tools to our students.
