Programme Mission

Executive MBA – Mission Statement 

To develop Senior Executive’s understanding of best practice management, their ability to think and act strategically, develop decision making and leadership skills and the ability to understand and respond to the dynamics of a changing business environment 

The UL Executive MBA is a part-time, two year programme. The programme is delivered in three-day, intensive, on campus blocks, with four blocks per semester and two semesters each year. The programme focuses on five themes: Internationalisation, Managerial Vision and Competencies, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Strategic Thinking and Leadership. The UL MBA offers electives in Aviation Management and Engineering Management which will enable you to update and deepen your understanding of critical issues impacting these areas.

The fundamental objectives of the UL Executive MBA are to develop your understanding of best practice management, ability to think and act strategically, decision making and leadership skills and the ability to understand and respond to the dynamics of a changing business environment. From its inception, the University of Limerick has forged deep relationships with industry. For over three decades these connections have helped ensure our MBA teaching is current, relevant and immediately applicable. The MBA programme features interactive discussion based classes, guest lectures from industry leaders and, of course, the examination of real world case studies.
