NUI Galway’s AMBA and AACSB accredited MBA programme will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. 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 Ireland’s leading programmes.
Captain Eddie McGuire, Defence Forces and Department of Defence Joint Research, Technology and Innovation Unit, discussed his experience studying the MBA at NUI Galway: “The Defence Forces is embarking on an unprecedented organisational transformation," he said. "I wanted to undertake an MBA to enhance my ability to operate at the strategic level and contribute positively to the change ahead.
"I chose NUI Galway because it offered an internationally accredited MBA programme with top-class academic staff and a highly supportive environment, right here in the west of Ireland.
"The MBA has broadened my perspective and exposed me to new learning that I now apply with confidence in my role. I am a better leader, who can comprehend and respond to challenges more holistically. I am also more comfortable operating in situations of uncertainty and paradox, an important characteristic for today’s leaders.
"The most rewarding aspect of the MBA was getting to know and learn from my fantastic classmates," Captain McGuire continued. "Their wide range of backgrounds, experience, and sectors created a diversity of skills and perspectives which led to rich learning and interesting discussion.
"I am grateful to have had the opportunity to complete the MBA at NUIG. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the journey. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for personal and professional growth.”
