Dublin Business School prides itself on promoting a work-life balance and providing tailored support services to help our students obtain their qualification. At our 2012 conferring ceremony held in the RDS last week, some of our two thousand graduating students gave an insight into evening study at DBS.

"The MBA was a logical step in my career. My deliberate plan from the beginning of the experience was not to remain in my comfort zone i.e. the familiar world of finance but instead to do something completely different. It worked. It gave me new vistas, opened a new window of opportunity, broadened horizons and boosted my confidence. Choosing a part-time evening postgraduate course allowed me to combine work with study and it has been a satisfying experience for me. Theoretical knowledge has helped to solve work problems and work experience has informed my research. All in all, it has been a winning formula. This was also the situation with regard to my dissertation. The choice of topic was influenced by my service as a committee member on a management board of a non-profit-making organisation, where I work on a voluntary basis. Researching a real life problem, striving to achieve the goal has been instrumental in my growth.   Overall, the DBS MBA programmes takes you on a voyage of self-discovery, which starts with the improvement of cognitive skills and continues to developing communication, leadership and team work skills. It is a motion in spiral and spiral in motion, and even when the program is finished, it only indicates a new beginning…"
