Product Management - Aungier Street

What is Product Management?

Strategic product management is at the heart of the success of every company and can determine the company’s success or failure. Product Managers with accredited and comprehensive knowledge of the product management domain are in high demand across leading Irish and International companies.



This multi award-winning Postgraduate Diploma in Product Management is the only course of its kind in Ireland, with few comparators world-wide. The development of the Postgraduate Diploma and MSc in Product Management was driven by the technology sector who co-designed this unique programme to align closely with the critical skills needs of their organisations.



Aimed at working professionals who are directly involved in, or adjacent to, the product management function, it is an academically informed course that brings practical rigor, through work-based assignments and prioritises real world application.



The programme has been carefully designed to allow busy professionals to combine work and study through a block delivery format over two consecutive days per month, usually October-June. To deliver this one-of-a-kind learning experience we have brought together a unique international faculty of world renowned scholars, thought leaders, bestselling authors, and leading edge practitioners.



Shared learning with fellow participants from a diverse range of companies ensures the experience is always dynamic and engaging. Our alumni network of over 350 product managers provides a continuous source of networking, expertise and insights for product managers and related professionals.



Our partnership with Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet provides a powerful industry voice for the digital technology sector. The Digital Skillnet partnership ensures that the programme also generates an immediate return on investment for company sponsors.



This course is designed for:

1. Practising product managers who have a number of years’ experience and wish to enhance their competencies and their career progression.

2. Product owners and those from engineering or design backgrounds who are transitioning to product management.

3. Aspiring product managers who are working as business analysts or solutions consultants, or in product delivery and support functions.
