MBA Programmes have been provided by the Kemmy Business School since 1984. The principal programme at Limerick is the Corporate MBA, which is organised on a block-release basis and to which there is an annual enrolment.
The University of Limerick MBA (Aviation Management) is suitable for those who have significant responsibility at management or supervisory level in the aviation or related sectors.
