Hi, my name is Maria Power and I have recently graduated from MSc Management & Marketing in UCC with a 1.1 as my final result.
Prior to commencing this masters I had completed a Bachelor of Arts, choosing Irish and English as my main subjects. After completing my undergrad, I moved to Spain as an English teacher and had an incredible 2 years there.
I always knew I wanted to do a masters and I had heard very positive reviews of MSc Management & Marketing from friends and a family member who had completed the course. I was interested in pursuing a career in business and I thought that this would be the perfect course to kickstart my career.
I am very happy that I chose this course due to its variety of modules focusing on various business-related subjects. I was also interested in the 6 month work placement that was on offer for students.
I undertook my work placement with Aldi as an Industrial Placement intern. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Aldi. I found it challenging but extremely rewarding and I gained some valuable skills throughout my time there. This work placement also gave me a good foundation for my Applied Research Project which is the final part of the MSc.
I would definitely recommend this masters to anyone who is interested in marketing but also in business in general. The modules touch on various aspects of business and provide interesting and valuable information. It is a great way to gain an in depth understating of the business world while putting theory into practice through projects and work placement.
