Dublin Business School (DBS) is excited to announce that it has signed an agreement with EU Business School (EU) which will see them become one of its transnational partners later this year. This new agreement, which is subject to validation by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), forms part of the institution’s ongoing endeavours to expand its transnational programmes and offer its programmes in overseas locations.
With this agreement, DBS joins forces with a leading provider of business and management education. EU Business School (EU) is an international, professionally accredited, high-ranking business school with campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux, Munich and online. Offering English-taught foundation, bachelor’s, master’s and MBA programs, it is ranked among the top business schools globally and has been awarded four stars for Overall Business Education by QS Stars.
EU will offer the following DBS degree programmes: BA (Hons) in Business and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). The institution is convinced that the rigorous curriculum of each programme will provide EU students with the skills and insights they need for successful careers in business and entrepreneurship in Germany.
Joining forces with EU forms part of Dublin Business School’s strategy to expand its offering of transnational programmes. DBS already has a very successful transnational partnership with leading Malaysian College, Kolej Poly-Tech Mara (KPTM) in Malaysia. The partnership with EU also offers DBS the opportunity to work with an academic partner within the European Union.
Speaking at the launch of the partnership, Andrew Conlan-Trant, President of DBS said, “This is an exciting development for DBS as well as for EU Business School, Munich. It underlines our commitment to developing the DBS brand internationally as well as underpinning the promotion of the higher education brand for Ireland abroad. We look forward to developing many more collaborations globally like the one launched today in Germany”.
In statements about the agreement with DBS, Luc Craen, vice president and managing director of EU Business School expressed his satisfaction, stating, “I am convinced Dublin Business School and the extension of our degree programs will further strengthen our institution providing students with the high-level education they need to make it in the business world.
DBS is the perfect partner. I look forward to working with them and seeing students build their business skillset with this new degree offer.”
