The UL MBA is in a class of its own in terms of the rewards you get.
Driving your success
Our Executive MBA degree here at the University of Limerick centres around strategic skills and leadership development that strengthen your ability to lead with confidence in complex business environments. Our triple-accredited MBA is recognised among the top 1% of global business schools, and we’ve taken great care to structure the programme so that it fully supports your growth and career success. It’s more than an MBA: it’s an investment in becoming a resilient and innovative leader, ready to tackle all challenges as they come.
Meet our graduates
My MBA from UL means I am confident that I can adapt to whatever comes my way; leading effectively in any industry.
The MBA gave me the language to investigate the figures, which is essential to my career as a small business owner.
I had high expectations for the course, and it did not disappoint. It accelerated my learning by about 10 years.
Programme Structure
The Executive MBA degree at UL is a two-year, part-time programme designed for busy professionals. The course sees modules delivered in 2-day blocks, arranged ahead of time so you can always plan for other commitments. Our 2027 programme will also see the introduction of day-long professional development workshops at the start of each semester.
Over the course of the programme, each student will take part in 18 core modules (including two thesis modules) and 1 winter school elective module.
The cost of the course is approximately €16,000 per year (€32,000 total fee). As this is a part-time programme, it does not meet the requirements for an Irish student visa (Stamp 2). International applicants who require a study visa should contact the UL admissions team to discuss alternative options.

Leadership development
Learn from industry leaders
The best decisions come from seeing the bigger picture. I challenge my students to look across markets, institutions, cultures and competing influences, and to then turn the resulting insights into strategies that can evolve as the world around them changes.
Students learn that effective leadership begins with purpose, is strengthened by evidence, and succeeds through the ability to influence, enable, and strategically guide organisations.
Employer sponsorship
Your MBA degree is a brilliant way to enhance your business and leadership skills. As the course is designed with in-person block structures, it will likely also require support from your employer – whether that’s for funding, or simply the time to complete your structured modules.
Our Employer ROI brochure helps you make the case for employer support by showing how the MBA will help to strengthen your leadership skills and enhance your business’s innovation and competitive resilience over time.
Excellence recognised internationally
The University of Limerick’s MBA programme is triple accredited by AMBA, AACSB, and EQUIS, ranking it in the top 1% of business schools globally. This reflects our innovative teaching, career development strategies, and the employability of our students worldwide. Backed by a rigorous peer-review process, our part-time MBA programme is proven to provide students with a first-rate, future-focused business education.
