Every element of the Trinity MBA programme is designed to stimulate students’ sense of innovation. We do this by equipping our participants with the tools necessary to solve pertinent business issues, developing their leadership skills and then putting this to the test in the form of live company projects.
Our internationally recognised and top ranking MBA (5th in Western Europe – Eduniversal best Masters Ranking 2015-16) has garnered its reputation through the emphasis the Trinity MBA places on the application of business strategy.
A PROJECT BASED APPROACH
There are 16 taught modules divided into three core strands, covering international business, entrepreneurial management and sustainable leadership. This provides students with a strategic framework, which they can then apply through direct interaction with senior executives in three live ‘in-company’ projects (NGOs, SMEs and blue-chip multinational companies). This unique and innovative strand of our programme is gradually phased in during the second half of the programmes and increasingly becomes the central focus of the programme as you near completion.
Non Governmental Organisation Project: Generating profit is key in business, but profits aren’t always monetary. Students enjoy a reciprocal learning relationship with the NGO sector, by assisting them in addressing an organisational issue through applying their strategic management skills.
The SME Growth Project: Group consulting teamsare partnered with fast-moving SMEs to scale their international growth. Actual commercial value added is the litmus test of success on this intense project.
In Association with
The Strategic Company Project: This marks the culmination of formal learning and knowledge application. This project sets the Trinity MBA apart as a global leader in this project-based approach to MBA design and delivery. MBA consultancy teams perform a full strategic audit of their assigned company from both an internal and external perspective. Based on their analysis, the team – in consultation with the company CEO and senior executives – select an issue they’ve identified for further analysis. The project is delivered over four stages and culminates in a formal presentation of findings, recommendations and implementation plans to company.
DEVELOPING YOUR LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL
In the current collaborative business environment, it is vital to understand your individual leadership style and how you work within or manage teams. Each MBA student completes a series of psychometric tests to highlight their natural strengths, and building upon these traits we help you to achieve your managerial potential. Coaching sessions in areas such as communication skills, time management, effective negotiation are delivered at key points in the programme to improve leadership potential.
