DCU and the Kemmy Business School at UL have developed a reputation for delivering particularly innovative business courses.
Trinity's business economics and social studies (BESS) degree draws a big crowd. Business with a language is a particularly popular option, and for a good reason; you'll find a variety of offerings in UL, DCU, NUI Galway, DIT, UCC, Trinity College and as part of UCD's very popular international commerce course.
Maynooth University’s business courses allow students to choose from a wide range of electives, including language options.
The National College of Ireland and the Dublin Business School also have solid offerings.
One thing to look out for before signing on the dotted line are courses with some element of work placement or international exchange.
But not just any work placement: is it innovative and engaging?
And does it help to develop practical skills as well as develop entrepreneurial skills?
UCD, UCC, NUI Galway and DCU all perform well here. DCU, for instance, boasts that it has strong partnerships with business and that students get real world experience in developing business skills.
