MSc Operations Management and Business Analytics: Grow from Dublin, Ireland

Build the skills to turn complex decisions into confident action without leaving Dublin. Delivered online through the exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, the MSc Operations Management and Business Analytics brings together operational thinking and analytical insight that you can apply across industries and internationally.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Salford while studying from Ireland. It is a qualification you can carry into conversations about your career well beyond Dublin.

The programme combines operations management and business analytics, helping you develop a perspective that travels across sectors and borders as your ambitions evolve.

Study 100% online in as little as one year

There is no need to relocate or put your life in Dublin on hold. The programme can be completed entirely online, allowing you to work towards a master’s degree alongside your existing commitments.

It can be completed in as little as one year, offering a focused route for those ready to invest in their next step.

Learn on a schedule that works for you

Your learning does not depend on being online at specific times or dates. You can engage with the programme around work, family and other priorities.

That flexibility gives you room to study when you can give the material your best attention—whether that is early in the morning, during a quiet afternoon or after a busy day.

Take your studies wherever you go

Study from Dublin, elsewhere in Ireland or anywhere your travels take you. Online access means your learning can continue even when your routine changes.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or time away from your desk can become an opportunity to keep moving towards your goal.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on learning resources as you develop and present your thinking.

This approach gives you an opportunity to concentrate on understanding ideas and using them to address challenges, rather than relying solely on recall under exam conditions.

Learn with internationally educated faculty

Study with tutors and faculty who have graduated from world-renowned institutions, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied academic backgrounds can broaden the perspectives you encounter as you explore how organisations make decisions, improve processes and use data.

Join a worldwide learning community

Connect with a diverse student base spanning more than 130 countries. Different professional and cultural perspectives can make discussions richer and help you consider how ideas apply in different settings.

Alumni work for international organisations and companies including the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, giving you a way to spread the cost over time.

That predictable payment schedule can make it easier to plan your studies alongside your other financial commitments.

Put your learning to work in Dublin

Dublin’s technology sector offers opportunities to think about how products and services scale. Skills in analytics and operations management can help graduates examine performance, improve workflows and make informed decisions in fast-moving organisations.

For those interested in Ireland’s pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, the programme’s focus on processes and evidence-based decisions can be valuable. Graduates can bring these ideas to questions about efficiency, resource planning and complex supply chains.

Dublin is also a centre for financial and professional services, where organisations manage substantial volumes of information and intricate operations. The ability to interpret data and assess how work gets done can support graduates seeking to contribute to service improvement and strategic decisions.
