Why WIT Graduate Business?

At WIT our focus is on producing graduates who make an impact.

Over and above the in-depth knowledge that you get in most graduate business schools, at WIT we focus on the whole student, building personal and professional effectiveness through a challenging curriculum, delivered by exceptional faculty who provide an amazing learning experience.

As part of Ireland’s largest integrated business school, graduate business in Waterford has the scale to meet your ambition.

With over 1,800 undergraduate students and 250 graduate students, WIT School of Business offers both breadth and depth across all business disciplines.

We are dedicated to the continuing development of learning at postgraduate level. In collaboration with industry, we have developed relevant, leading-edge programmes that provide our students with the knowledge, confidence and skills to succeed in business, and in life. As a student with us, you benefit from our professionally oriented programmes and learn from fellow students who have extensive international and career experience.

Whilst a lot has changed since WIT School of Business was established in 1969, one thing has remained constant – the school’s mission to apply the very highest standards of academic rigour to the real world of business. Our hard won reputation for innovative business education has been earned by employer’s experience of our graduates.

We have developed a full portfolio in executive (Higher Diploma, MBA, MBS Change Management, DBA), taught (with MBS programmes in Accounting, Economics & Finance, Global Financial Information Systems, Internationalisation, Management, Marketing, HRM) in entrepreneurship, conversion into business (MSc in Business, Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship) and in research (with a vibrant MBS by research, PhD and Postdoctoral community).

Our consistent approach has been to focus on producing exceptional graduates who have made an impact in organisations like Goldman Sachs, State Street Bank, PWC, Procter & Gamble, Microsoft and Google, as well as across thousands of organisations across the south east and beyond. Supported by an exceptional careers service, WIT Graduate Business students are in demand.

Our focus is on producing knowledgeable, thoughtful, hard-working, presentable, effective individuals who make a positive impact wherever they go. We work to ensure that our graduates are ready for the first day as well as for a long and fruitful career.

Our practically minded approach has produced a distinctive student orientated environment with interactive, discursive classes, practitioner seminars, simulations, active research and project work, personalised attention, career development, enriched by an innovative CEO-in-Residence programme. Every student takes an international study tour, we invite a range of visiting speakers, deploy the latest technology and teaching methods. Our faculty work on boundary-extending research focusing on key management issues and dialogue with the broader intellectual community and practitioners. Over and above the academic focus, WIT offers a rich and diverse social, sporting and cultural life.

So if you like our approach, please get in touch to find out which programme is right for you.
