Overview

Business management is all about turning ideas into real action. That’s designing, making, and delivering products and services that people want or need.

A flexible degree based on your strengths

Studying business management at Maynooth University gives you insights into all major business functions.

During your studies you’ll have the opportunity to undertake specialist options in the subjects you enjoy most. This means you can shape your degree based on your own unique strengths and interests.

You can also transfer into a specialised degree after completing first year of MH101.

What do managers do?

In business, managers are organisers and problem-solvers – they get things done.

A manager’s role involves:

  • knowing the fundamentals of all major aspects of business
  • thinking about the business as a whole and its strategic direction
  • organising the workforce
  • managing the effective use of information technology
  • managing supply chains locally and globally
  • effectively managing costs and revenues

Learn from the experts

You will learn from a blend of international and local experts who bring real-world insights into the practicality and complexity of management today.
