Dept of Business Studies

The business studies programmes at AIT have been designed to help you to acquire knowledge and develop skills for a variety of careers across a wide range of disciplines. The courses described in this prospectus cover not only general business, but also specific sectors and industries – such as the equine industry, the music instrument and technology business, or the real estate sector. This twin-track approach allows you to develop expert knowledge in a particular area, or, alternatively, to pursue a general business award.

A variety of career prospects is available to business graduates. Here are just a few: general management, administration, banking, insurance, human resources, marketing, event management, advertising, public relations, sales, office management, information technology, and property management. Rather than working for someone else, you may wish to establish your own business. The skills and knowledge which you develop will also help you achieve this objective. The popularity of the various programmes reflects the relevance of the qualifications on offer.

These are challenging times for Irish business and the public sector. Given the economic downturn, as well as increased national and international competition, there is a greater need than ever before for entrepreneurship, vision, imagination and sound business judgement. A business qualification from AIT can help you acquire the required knowledge and develop the necessary skills for a highly successful career. A dedicated staff team will support you fully along the journey.
