Post Grad Learning Partner

SPONSORED BY Griffith College

Griffith College is Ireland’s largest private third-level college and boasts 170+ courses. Learners can choose from postgraduate, professional, part-time, blended learning, and undergraduate courses. With more than 40 postgraduate programmes on offer, Griffith College is leading the way in postgraduate education with its Graduate Business School. Griffith College is an ideal partner for postgraduate learners.

The Griffith College Graduate Business School aims to prepare those seeking careers, along with those looking to revitalise their skillset with advanced, forward-thinking theoretical knowledge; a competent skillset; and a diverse industry-focused project portfolio, which will set them apart from other highly skilled peers in the same space.

Many of our Graduate Business School lecturers are lecturing part time while simultaneously running their own business. This gives our students immediate insight into the world of business, where not only do our students get to know our lecturers on a one-to-one basis with small class sizes, but they can also leverage the extensive list of industry connections.

The College has gained an enviable, award winning reputation for providing students with first class lectures and excellent study material. With a focus that is less about theory and more about the practical demands of the field itself, graduates enter the workforce ready to meet and exceed its demands.

With academic intakes both in September and February and a range of study modes to choose from, there is a course that will suit anyone looking to further their education with a postgraduate degree.
