The Department of Business offers online programmes at Levels 6, 7 and 8, and you may undertake study at any level, depending on your existing qualifications. Our online students come from both the private and public sector and bring a wealth of experience to their programmes of study. Our programmes are aligned with the needs of employers and there are many opportunities for students to work on projects and topics that allow learning to be applied in the workplace, and focus on their own areas of interest.

Our current and past students come from varied career backgrounds, such as banking and finance, technology, medical devices and pharma, and the service sector. We also have students from SMEs, education and people who are just starting out on their career path.

As the programmes are online and accessible as live lectures and recordings,they are attractive also to international students. Many students have progressed to new roles in their organisations or changed careers on achieving their qualification. It is also possible to progress to postgraduate study within IT Sligo or in other Higher Education Institutes.
