ABOUT DUBLIN BUSINESS SCHOOL
Over the past 40 years, Dublin Business School (DBS) has developed a strong reputation for its student-centered approach to teaching and for providing a level of academic innovation not usually found in the more traditional Irish universities. You can study more than numbers here. DBS offers a broad range of courses and social opportunities, and its relatively small student population allows for close interaction between students and staff.
DBS is centrally located in Dublin, just a few minutes’ stroll from St. Stephen’s Green (a beautiful public park, perfect for studying), Grafton Street (shop til you drop!), and the Temple Bar district (awesome music venues!). Be sure to take full advantage of the on-campus libraries, computer labs, and student recreation areas while you’re at it.
TERMS
- Semester Study and Study & Internship (14-15 weeks)
- Summer Study (5.5 weeks)
