The MSc in International Business is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to operate and build a career in the global market place.

Please review the entry requirements below. The UCD Smurfit Admissions Office staff have expertise in reviewing international qualifications from around the world and will be able to assess your application's comparability to the Irish entry requirement. A minimum second-class honours degree (or equivalent) in Business, Commerce, Business Administration, International Economics (where a number of business modules were taken in that Economics degree) or a closely related area. OR A primary degree with a minimum of three years’ relevant work experience. If English is not your first language, an English language qualification is required for admission to all of our programmes. The exception to this rule is if you have completed your primary degree or an entire third level qualification through English, in an English speaking country. https://www.smurfitschool.ie/admissions/internationalapplicants/englishlanguagerequirements/ Some students might have to get a student visa in order to come and study in Ireland. Please check the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Services website to see if you require a visa. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/ Non-EU students cannot typically study part-time in Ireland if they require a student visa, as student permission is granted for full-time courses on the Interim List of Eligible Programmes (ILEP). Non-EU students who are not residents of Ireland can apply for part-time courses that are 100% online, and in this case, a visa is not required. You may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), as UCD recognises formal, informal, and/or experiential learning. RPL may be awarded to gain Admission and/or credit exemptions on a programme. Please visit the UCD Registry RPL web page for further information. Any exceptions are also listed on this webpage. https://www.ucd.ie/registry/prospectivestudents/admissions/rpl/
