Strategic Management - Aungier Street

What is... Strategic Management?
Expertise in strategic management and planning has never been more critical given the turbulent and challenging environments in which Irish businesses now operate. Brexit, trade wars and GDPR are significant issues affecting business that require leaders with strategic vision to manage. Technological, economic and regulatory changes mean that businesses need management specialists who can develop long-term strategies that fully anticipate these developments.

Participants will study a range of business modules and undertake group and individual assessments to develop the functional competencies, specialist knowledge, research skills, analytical skills, leadership and soft skills necessary to respond to the needs and challenges of modern organisations.

**Irish Times Postgraduate Options 2016 and 2017 listed the Masters in Strategic Management as most popular course in TU Dublin.

This course is also available full-time. The Masters in Strategic Management is accredited by the Institute of Management Consultants and Advisors.
