Assessment

Level 1 is a foundation level, which is common to many of the College’s undergraduate degree programmes. The foundation level provides knowledge in the primary business disciplines, as well as developing the broad cognitive skills of students.

Level 2 builds on the foundation year by providing a blend of more advanced and specialised business and law modules to develop student knowledge, competence and skills in business management and law. These will provide students with the necessary underpinning for Level 3 specialisms.

Level 3 further advances student knowledge in business and law areas and seeks to further develop a clear understanding of the application and impact of the legal concepts that affect management and operational decisions from a national and international perspective.

Graduates from this programme will also be well placed to pursue a business career in areas where legal knowledge is highly relevant - human resource management, finance, purchasing, compliance and contracts. Alternatively, the degree provides the basis for further academic law/general business study at postgraduate level.

Dublin Business School has a dedicated Careers and Appointments Services department who work to develop the career prospects of the student body by teaching employment skills to be utilised following graduation and throughout a student’s professional life. The Careers office additionally publicises recruitment campaigns and current vacancies that may be of interest to students.
Additionally, internships and work experience opportunities are developed by our Employer Liaison Officer, with many DBS graduates continuing on to work within the company where they have completed their work placement.
