Business Studies

The Business Studies degree course is designed to give you an introduction to the foundations of business and guide you to a specialisation in economics, management, finance, marketing, HR or business analytics.

New for 2021 is the Business Analytics specialism designed to provide students with business analytical capabilities that are in high demand in every sector.  Find out more about this specialism here: https://business.dcu.ie/business-analytics-stream/

Since the 1980s, the programme has continually adapted to reflect business studies theory and, especially, developments in business practice in the real world. Through elements such as business simulations and new enterprise development projects, we set out to stimulate and foster imaginative thinking among our graduates, giving you the skills to arrive at solutions to business problems.

The four-year course includes an optional 11-month paid work placement that gives you the opportunity to experience working in a real business environment. Alternatively, you can opt to spend a year at one of our partner universities in Europe.

I chose Business Studies at DCU because I wanted a dynamic course which would meet the needs of today's ever changing business environment and which would offer me a solid understanding of the foundations of business today.
