DBS will be represented at the CIMA Global Business Challenge on 13 June 2014 at IT Tallaght. The team, led by Ian Browne, consists of three part-time and one full-time BA Hons Accounting & Finance students. The team has been working progressively on their entry every Sunday in the college since April.

The CIMA Global Business Challenge is an international business competition for undergraduates around the world, designed to bring out the best in the young business leaders of tomorrow.

By working together as a team of four to present a business case study, it is a great opportunity for students to showcase their talent in business management, and learning how to become business leaders of the future. Regional winners have the opportunity to win a place at the global final in India.
