Hi Everybody,

I'm looking to get into a management MSc programme offered by UCD Michael Smurfit Business School. After looking at all the programs I found 3 to be most interesting MSc in Management, MSc in Management Consulting and MSc in Strategic management. Out of the three, whcih course would you recommend.

Background: non-EU student. I'm currently working in a MNC in IT domain in a non-managemnt technical role, primarily focused on Cloud collaboration technologies. In my 4 yrs work experience I've gained decent exposure to workings of Operation management, Project management, Digital Transformation, and Technology consulting. I aim to move into a management role. I find curriculum of all three courses mentioned above interesting and am ready to commit myself towards exceling in them.
Please suggest best course which provides good learning and employment opportunities to achieve this goal.

Thanks in advance guys!


Duncan your advice would be greatly appreciated.

There is some discussion about these programmes already, so search for those. The cohorts are very different and so are the outcomes: the school website has information about that. One has a much older cohort and that might fit your stage in life. However "move into a management role" is really generic, and you might consider career strategy a bit more deeply. UCD is not the only school, and MSc is not the only degree.
