Strategic Management & Marketing - Limerick

The programme builds students' strategic management skills through a combination of problem based learning (PBL), direct contact with industry, workshops and case studies.



The programme is structured to maximise students’ practice-based learning and involves extensive student participation. To facilitate student activity, the programme employs a PBL philosophy; students are constantly challenged to apply learning and theory to real world situations and to devise appropriate solutions for problems presented to them; learners present project analysis and solutions to participating industry panels. The PBL approach offers a structure of investigation to follow while reminding students of the standards required to produce effective outcomes. The aim of the programme is to prepare students for the demands of management positions in a rapidly changing, knowledge- based economy while offering benefits in terms of research to participating companies.
