Michael Kelly graduated from the part-time Master of Business Administration programme in November 2016, below are his thoughts on studying for a Masters at DBS ten years after finishing his undergraduate degree.
"It was ten years since I completed my degree so I felt I needed to refresh my skills. I chose the MBA at DBS as it covered every aspect of business management. The core modules were very relevant and are essential in today’s business world. I chose the general stream as this allowed a chance to study all aspects of business rather than just one area. The part time element was key as I am in full time employment. The location of the college is central and easy to commute to. After researching many institutions DBS was continually coming out top of the list and the open day was extremely beneficial and helped me make up my mind to complete the MBA.
The modules are well presented and formatted and the delivery from the lecturers is first class. There is a genuine willingness to help the student and I have expanded my network both personally and professionally. The methods learned in the modules have been applied in my place of employment and the techniques from project management and marketing modules have helped in my daily applications and improved my stature within my company. The confidence I gained from the completion of the course has been transferred to my current role and will lead to progression in my career.
The course has been extremely enjoyable. I enjoyed the format and the presentation of the course. The lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and approachable which made the learning experience more pleasurable. My fellow students were invaluable in the learning process. The debates we had in class gave great insight to differing perspectives.
The city centre locations coupled with the friendly staff made the whole experience more enjoyable and any expectations I had before I completed the course were surpassed. I am extremely happy I completed a course in DBS and would recommend it to anyone looking for further their education."
