Griffith College Dublin

The Tripartite MSc requires four semesters across three cities. Semester One takes place in Berlin, Semester Two in Dublin, Semester Three in Paris and Semester Four at which of the three locations the student wishes to complete their Dissertation.

On successful completion the student will receive two degrees, normally one from the College through which they were recruited, and secondly from the College whose degree most closely mirrors their career aspirations.

The available degrees are:

• Berlin - MA in International Strategic Management
• Dublin - MSc in International Business Management
• Paris - MSc in International Business Strategy

Students who obtained the Dublin MSc may, after a period of appropriate work experience, and after they have demonstrated that they have obtained a range of management competencies, transfer their Dublin MSc to an MBA. (This option may also be provided to those students who have obtained either of the other two masters degrees).

The modules to be taught in Berlin in Semester One will be as follows:

• Global Strategy Management

• Intercultural Management
• International Marketing
• Emerging Countries
• International Business Strategy
• Business Research Methods 2

The MSc Dissertation and Internship Semester four will be available through all three institutions and will be based on the Paris model. The location will reflect student’s preference and the location of their main supervisor.

Each Institution will recruit 12 students for the annual intake in September, and the combined cohort will experience academic, business and student life in each of the major European Cities.
