hi,
i am too planning for griffith university
if u have got there,can u please tell me hows everything placement after course,fees,living costs and work for paying fees

Hey..
can u pls guide me for universities in ireland>?
i have applied to DBS and griffth college for an MBA
which one is better out of above?

Thankss

I'd say they look about even. Neither one is accredited by any of the major accreditation bodies one would normally look for, but this may reflect their institutional status as, "third-level educational institutions outside the university sector" (from the DBS website).

Just out of interest, what's led you to these two in particular?

Well the major reason was my undergraduate score ! It was not that good to fetch me a university.
But i guess University of limerick still has chances ( since I am a slight below their requirement and overlooking by my work experience)! :o
yea, i know third level university.. i mean how degrading would that be to read in a website !
Any idea whats the job scenario after the economic regression specially in Europe? And is it easy to get jobs out side Ireland too?

Thanks again

Hey, I wasn't trying to insult you - far from it. We all do what we have to. No, I was just asking whether you're really sure it's worth it. Maybe you are - I'm sure you have your own reason, and I completely respect that - but it is a large investment, both in terms of time and cash.

As for the job scenario over here - your guess is as good as mine! Ireland was flying high a couple of years ago, and maybe still is, relatively speaking, but it's all a bit up in the air over here at the moment. How our degree will translate outside Ireland is tricky, but you have to be prepared to come up against people from bigger, better recognised schools with "bigger", certainly better recognised degrees, and in the European context that might be a problem. That said, it all depends what sort of position you're going for.

Just a final, quick note: "Tertiary", when used in the context of UK and Ire. education, doesn't mean third level in any qualitative sense, but related to where the institution figures in the course of one' schooling: Primary School, Secondary School, University. All universities are centres of tertiary education.

I know some Trinity MBA students who wish they could go back to Griffith MBA but they are all irish and it's accredited by HETAC (Higher Education Training Awards Council) which means it's a really good. If you are an international student and want to get a job through the job centre, I think that going to Trinity might be wise, but you pay for this. Smurfit charges the same.
fot locals griffith would work just fine, but don't expect them to find a job for you.

It's easy to get accepted to Trinity and Smurfit but because it's expensive and believe me they WILL ACCEPT YOU, Take a look at Dublin City university and Griffith college - much better -

Look only for HETAC (Higher Education Training Awards Council)

That is simply untrue. Schools like Smurfit and Trinity typically accept around a quarter of full-time MBA applicants (http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full_time_mba_profiles/ucdublin.html). Every Irish degree that is not from a university has HETAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Education_and_Training_Awards_Council) so that is not a sign of higher than minimum quality.
