NUI Galway’s AMBA and AACSB accredited MBA programme will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year.
Marie McCarthy, deputy village director, Center Parcs Longford Forest, Ireland, reflects on her MBA experience: “Undertaking the NUI Galway Executive MBA has proven to be one of the best decisions I have made, both from a personal and professional perspective," she says.
"Prior to the MBA I held general management positions, but I felt I needed a broader, deeper, knowledge base if my ambitions were to be realised. The NUI Galway Executive MBA certainly didn’t disappoint. It provides you with strong strategic management and leadership learnings, but most importantly it allows you to develop a growth mindset and perspective — which for me, was the springboard for my career progression.
"In addition to gaining invaluable insights and learnings, you form lifelong friendships and develop a support network from your MBA class. To this day, I often refer to class materials, and what’s really notable is the renewed focus and drive you have for continuous learning even after the MBA.
"The varied aspect of the course delivery made it really enjoyable — the mix of tuition, masterclasses delivered by industry experts, and experiential learning through the International Gateway programme provide invaluable insights and memories.
"Anyone who is ambitious and seeking career progression into senior leadership roles should look no further than completing an Executive MBA. It has the potential to be a life changing decision.”
An MBA is the one of the most prestigious business degrees globally, and the AMBA (Association of MBAs ) accredited NUI Galway MBA is one of the leading programmes in the country.
