Global Management - Digital Disruption

In Industry 4.0, technology is disrupting, advancing and challenging business. Management practices are operating in an era when business is borderless. The next generation of aspiring leaders must understand the global and technological forces shaping the future of business.

While the MSc Global Management (Digital Disruption) is rooted in core management disciplines, global strategy and technological considerations underpin the programme, enabling graduates to excel in a business world where disruption, change and innovation are the only constants.

This programme is set apart by the ability to study at a partner Business School in North America or Europe. This is facilitated through DCU Business School’s membership of the International Partnership of Business Schools (IPBS), an international alliance of top business schools. This unique opportunity immerses students in other cultures, enhancing intercultural competency and ensuring that programme graduates will excel in global business.

The programme is offered through three pathways, including an option to graduate with a double degree award.
