Aim of Programme
The Executive MBA from the Business

is a prestigious Master's degree designed
for Middle Managers, Senior Executives
and Consultants. The MBA has been
specifically designed to meet the needs
of both practising or aspiring Middle and

emphasis on academic content, much of the
assessment has been designed to ensure that
this is applied to a variety of organisational
contexts.
The Executive MBA programme at Athlone
Institute of Technology is characterised by
applying the latest thinking in Management
and Leadership to solve real-world business
problems. You'll be challenged by faculty who
have extensive experience of industry, and
whose teaching connects ground-breaking
theory with the business stories making the
news. The culture of the AIT MBA is one
of teamwork; where you'll work together
with classmates to solve complex business
problems. With students drawn from the
private and public sectors, start-ups and
multinationals, you will develop the analytical
skills and acumen to appreciate business
forces and decision making scenarios from a
wealth of different perspectives.

What will I experience
On the AIT MBA, you will encounter a variety of teaching and learning approaches. For example, you will spend a significant proportion of your time participating in case exercises and working on assignments in small groups. This will provide an opportunity for understanding different viewpoints, as well as sharing experiences and ideas. Group work will also allow you to practice skills of analysis and, through discussion, to argue for and negotiate solutions to problems. The taught elements are delivered over two academic years on Friday afternoons and evenings (2.00pm to 9.00pm) and occasional Saturdays (10.00am to 5.00pm). Included in the fees are all books plus an overnight residential teambuilding weekend in a local hotel.
