A graduate from University of Limerick or elsewhere with two existing Professional Diplomas (or awards equivalent to 60 ECTS Credits at Level 9) can use these to achieve a Master of Professional Practice. Our master's degree is fully flexible, allowing you to stack programmes across disciplines of interest and value, from AI, Data Analytics and Cybersecurity to Strategic Leadership and Human Resource Management to Communications and Law and Technology.



Being highly adaptable and multi-skilled is essential for executives and leaders in today's fast-paced and constantly evolving business world.
