The globally ranked UCD Smurfit School MBA programmes provide an opportunity for ambitious individuals to unlock and develop their leadership potential, accelerate career advancement and build their global networks. In addition, the latest Financial Times rankings have found that graduates of the part-time Executive MBA programme enjoy earnings growth of 68 per cent within three years.<\/p>\n

People tend to have slightly different reasons for taking the full-time and part-time MBA programmes, according to Elaine Aherne, head of Student Recruitment for UCD College of Business.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople do the full-time course because they might want to pivot out of their current career and into a different one,\u201d she says. \u201cThey may want to move into more of an operational role and get into the business side of the organisation. For example, we have physiotherapists and vets doing MBAs. They are really capable people at what they do but they are looking to get into the business side of healthcare or animal health. They want to progress to management and leadership roles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others may want to build on particular qualifications. \u201cThey might have done an undergraduate degree in a particular area like computer science or engineering and now want to move into consultancy roles. We also have nurses with three to five years\u2019 experience who want to get into healthcare consultancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EMBA tends to attract a slightly different cohort. \u201cThey may be quite happy in their current role but might have gone for a promotion and been disappointed,\u201d Aherne explains. \u201cThey want to demonstrate their ambition, hone their leadership skills and deepen their business knowledge. They may not be considering moving employer, but they want to make a leap forward with their current employer. They want to be ready when a new role comes up in the organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are also those who want to understand more about their current roles. \u201cThey may have been promoted recently and want to learn about things like financial accounts, the broader administration of a business, and so on. We have had a number of medical consultants with over 25 years\u2019 experience. They might be on the board of the hospital and want to understand the broader business and organisational aspects of that role.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been a marked change in the number of women taking the programmes in recent years. This year, for the first time there are more women than males in the year one class of the two-year Smurfit Executive MBA programme. \u201cThe total class size is 37 students and 59 per cent of them are women,\u201d Aherne points out. \u201cThe full-time MBA is now at 42 per cent women, which is above the international average. Overall, our female intake has surpassed the male intake for the first time and stands at 51 per cent of all new MBA students.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explains the importance of diversity on the programmes. \u201cThe key learnings on an MBA are not just academic and what you learn from faculty. Peer to peer learning is hugely important. People from different industries, backgrounds and cultures share their experience and knowledge with each other. It\u2019s really important for us to have that cross section of industry and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that includes a good gender balance. \u201cWhen I joined the College of Business, I set about trying to understand why not many females were taking MBAs,\u201d she says. \u201cAt that time were setting up the modular MBA programme which is two days a month in college with the rest self-directed learning. That increased flexibility certainly suited females. We went out to recruit more women. We targeted them through women specific webinars, and we had female alumni who explained how they did it. If you can see it, you can be it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another important aspect of the Smurfit MBA is the Leadership and Employability Advancement Programme (LEAP). This is designed to support managers and senior specialists to make successful career transitions to executive roles by building their capability to lead diverse teams inclusively, and sustainably. \u201cLeap provides a bridge between the academic and business worlds and forms an integral part of the MBA,\u201d says Aherne.<\/p>\n

Applications are open for next year\u2019s programmes beginning in September. \u201cStudents require a Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) first,\u201d Aherne points out. \u201cThis is a globally recognised accreditation. Lot of consultancy companies require it before hiring people. You can apply without it and we can offer online coaching to get people through the GMAT process. It\u2019s really important as it gives people the confidence that they will be able to complete the MBA programme. It also ensures that the other people in the class are at that level as well \u2013 that\u2019s vitally important for the peer to peer learning element.\u201d<\/p>\n
