MA in International Business
The MA in International Business is designed to produce graduates with advanced knowledge and in-depth understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with international business practice, leadership and management, the issues and drivers that inform and influence practice, and the fundamental linkages between disciplinary specialisms including strategy, risk, marketing, finance and technology.
This postgraduate programme will appeal to prospective learners seeking either a full or part time Masters programme in international business. Applicants will normally be working in, or aspiring to, leadership roles in companies engaging, or considering engaging, in international business. The programme has been intentionally designed to accommodate applicants from business disciplines as well as from non-cognate disciplines, reflecting the requirements from industry for their workforce to have diverse knowledge, skills, experience and expertise that is strengthened with the addition of business acumen specific to the international business context.
This MA in International Business will equip graduates with the ability to remain competitive and employable in an ever-advancing sector. The programme consists of eight taught modules totalling 60 ECTS which are followed by a 30 ECTS supervised applied business project. Learners who decide to leave the programme, after completing the taught elements only, may be entitled to receive the embedded exit award of a Post Graduate Diploma in Arts in International Business.
Graduates will be qualified to assume leadership and management roles and/or progress to further studies. Subject areas are diverse and facilitate the acquisition of discipline specific knowledge, skill and competence along with the development of transversal skills.
The programme is an on-campus programme supported by the College’s Moodle platform and digital tools. The programme is supported by the CCT Industry Network. Industry representatives will support the programme delivery, providing real-world and real-time business challenges and experiences, through guest lecturing, site / virtual visits, and providing real world case studies and business to support student assessment activities which includes individual and group assessment.
Students completing the Applied Research Project will research a business-initiated real-world problem. This is a group project and culminates in a peer presentation.

Career Services and Support
Our final year students from both the Faculties of Business and ICT recently had the opportunity to meet with some of the top business and technology companies in Dublin at the CCT College Dublin Careers Fair. These companies were looking for the business and IT talent of the future and they were not disappointed!
It was also lovely to welcome back some of our Alumni who are now forging successful careers with companies such as Amazon Web Services, Dogpatch Labs and Dun & Bradstreet.
The Careers Fair presents students with the opportunity to meet companies and broaden their knowledge regarding jobs in their industry as well as potentially meet their future employer! Plus, even if attendees don’t land an interview with a particular company, they still have a chance to make a good impression and that is an invaluable opportunity. Who knows, you might be remembered for future openings that need to be filled! Recent studies show that 85% of all jobs are built through networking, so we encourage our students use this time to stand out to recruiters as someone who could benefit their company. The Careers fair allows students to have multiple conversations at once with different companies that pertain to their desired industry
Interacting with potential employers at the career fair can build students’ confidence – we advise our students to consider the Careers Fair as a training ground for job interviews. Approaching a potential employer can be a bit intimidating the first time but after students have done it once, twice, that discomfort starts to fade. Practice makes perfect after all!
The Career fair can also introduce students to alternative career paths they might not have thought about previously. “I didn’t know *that’s* what their jobs would be like.”
The recent Careers fair allowed our students to present themselves as a person, not just a piece of paper! It is impossible to make this type of connection when submitting a CV. The Careers fair and Careers fairs in general, allow students to dress, talk and present themselves in a memorable way. After all, a meeting at a Careers fair could ultimately allow you to get your foot in the door with your ideal Company and land that ideal job!
