Undergraduates expecting to secure employment upon graduation might be surprised to discover that they may lack a range of transversal skills which employers look for when recruiting.
For many, the option of undertaking a postgraduate programme, which will add to and complement their existing skills, is one they need to consider. Such a programme will add a set of cross-sectoral skills to complement their CV and enhance their employability.
There is increasing convergence between sectors such as information and communications technology (ICT), business and engineering, which were once considered to be unique in their own right. ICT now permeates almost all sectors of the economy, and similarly, strong business skills are relevant across many sectors. Accounting firms today don’t only hire accountants – they are also on the lookout for marketing, IT and engineering graduates. Arts and journalism graduates who can bring communications and social media skills are sought after by firms who need to expand their social media and online presence. Data analytics was the fastest-growing skill in demand in 2015 and demand is set to continue in the years ahead. ICT related courses available at Dublin Business School include the following:

Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Cloud Computing
Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Information Systems
Master of Science (MSc) Marketing in Digital Media
BA (Hons) Business Information Systems (Cloud Computing)
BA (Hons) Marketing (Digital Media & Cloud Computing)
BA (Hons) Marketing (Digital Media)
BSc (Hons) Computing
