Hello, i am a US student looking to travel to Ireland to get my MBA. I will be 21 in 2/2010 and will have my Bachelors in Business/Restaurant Mgt. in March. My fiancé and i are looking to move to Ireland nonetheless, but i would like to know would it be eaiser to try and get in a school now, or wait until i'm settled into a Apartment in Ireland? Also what schools should i look into, and if there would be any student aid availble.
Looking to go to Ireland

From my experience, it's easier with things like getting visas, opening bank accounts, jobs, etc. if you have already gotten into a school there. Of course, I know some Americans with Irish passports because of their heritage, so that might make things easier from an administrative standpoint. Perhaps that also applies to you and/or your fiance.
What school are you interested in?

i was looking at Cork, i was really hoping on some recomendations that won't empty my wallet or at least offered some kind of student aid. We're planning on moving there in 2011 or 2012, and we have already started saving up for the move. We have already decided on moving there, i was just hoping i could get my MBA there instead of getting my MBA when or if i go back to the States.

Hi,
FYI, Some colleges in Ireland participate in U.S Federal AIid FAFSA. Such as Trinity College, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate business school. You can borrow up to full cost including books and accomodation. You don't need a visa to go to Ireland if you are U.S citizen.

You will not get reputed universities with just 1 year of work exp. You have to wait for atleast 2 more years. some of the MBA programs in Ireland are http://www.find-mba.com/ireland

There is only one two-year MBA in Ireland (Griffith); it's traditionally one year long in Europe.
My guess is that, as in the UK, there's no guarantee of employment but most students will find jobs.

I'm not sure that either of these will have good employment outcomes. Ask them for statistics and averages.

sir being an international student
am not sure how accurately i will get the information regarding respective colleges in ireland.
And if i join any of the colleges and after i complete the course,and if dont find any job over there then that may be a big problem for me.
Can you just advice me whom to contact for complete details about this

Contact the admissions staff of those colleges. Or use LinkedIn to contact people who have done their MBAs at those colleges.
As you will have discovered already, DBS and Griffith are less well know, private colleges. I think the award degrees from other institutions. They are less prestigious than universities or university colleges. Generally employers will understand they will recruit students who cannot get into the universities.
Furthermore, the MBA in Europe is generally a degree for people with three or more work experience. I think these two private schools recruit people without work experience. There is less demand in the West for MBAs without work experience becaus of the importance of team working and soft skills.
So, I would expect similar outcomes to those with undergraduate degrees.

You'll be better off attending a university.

Start with these MBA programs if you are looking to do your MBA in Ireland and then work there afterwards:
UCD - Smurfit
University of Dublin - Trinity
There are a few other accredited schools in Ireland that offer part-time MBAs, but other than that the others won't offer you great career support or placement assistant (as an international student.)
