The Executive MBA programme at Technological University of
the Shannon is characterised by applying the latest thinking in
management and leadership to solve real-world business
problems. Students will 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 TUS Executive MBA is one of teamwork; where
students will work together with classmates to solve complex
business problems. A residential weekend at the start of the
programme provides the perfect opportunity for getting to know
fellow classmates, while obtaining an overview of this
challenging degree. With participants drawn from the private
and public sectors, start-ups and multinationals, students will
develop the analytical skills and acumen to appreciate business
forces and decision making scenarios from a wealth of different
perspectives.

On the TUS Executive 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 study
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.

Full-time on the TUS Midlands (Athlone) campus. Lectures will be distributed across Mon- Friday, with occasional site visits on Saturdays and weekends.
