Griffith College Limerick

This honours degree programme will help students to appreciate fully the vital business roles played by finance, accounting, marketing, human resource management and information technology. For many companies these disciplines are the driving force behind their success. In addition, graduates will be shown how the ever-changing business environment is influenced by political, legal, economic, social and technological factors on both a national and international scale.

The purpose of the course is to give students the skills that are in demand by companies today. In a complex and dynamic environment they will be able to identify changes in business requirements, and have the confidence to develop and implement new procedures to satisfy them. Students will be able to recognise the key characteristics governing a particular company and then identify the factors that are critical to its success. The participation and support of fulltime and external lecturing staff, and a wide range of industries has made a vital contribution to the degree's content.

In first year, students take subjects that are common to the BA (Honours) in Accounting and Finance. This model gives students the flexibility to adjust their career choices if necessary. Students who complete the Higher Certificate in Business can transfer into Year  3 of either courses.
