MSc Strategy, Innovation and People Management

The MSc Strategy, Innovation and People Management (SIPM) is a one-year, broad-based programme integrated around the three meta-factors critical for success in the digital, knowledge-based, global economy – all organisations need to think strategically, have the capability to innovate and the ability to realise their ambitions through the development of their people.

The MSc SIPM is accredited at the Advanced Standards Level (the highest achievable) by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD), the largest professional HR body globally. The MSc SIPM fosters critical thinking, develops long-term career capabilities and equips graduates to work in a wide variety of roles in a broad range of industry settings.

The programme is distinguished by its small class size, allowing close contact with lecturers, alumni and the business community. We emphasise applied learning, giving you the opportunity to develop and practise the skills you will use in your future career.

Students will have the opportunity to apply for an internship with an Irish or multinational organisation. Students can alternatively work on an applied consultancy project and a summer school of optional modules that will allow you to customise your masters towards your own particular focused career path.
