Management Science and Information Systems Studies

Program Overview

Students learn how to use techniques from disciplines such as business, mathematics, computer science, statistics and management science to solve real-world problems. There is also a firm emphasis on interpersonal skills such as verbal communication, interviewing, teamwork and report writing. The primary objective of the MSISS programme is to produce graduates who are both business and computer literate and who have a solid understanding of how to approach and solve practical problems using a variety of tools and techniques. The emphasis in MSISS is on building up analytical skills, flexibility and creative thinking. One of the remarkable features of MSISS is the range of careers that graduates take up. The MSISS programme provides students with a unique blend of skills and experience. It is this mix which makes MSISS unique amongst other third-level courses in Ireland and helps contribute significantly to the success MSISS graduates have in getting jobs.

On Trinity's indicative scale for the IB, that took the full 45 points plus the 25 that this course's Higher Level Mathematics adds. Applicants from outside the EU apply to Trinity directly and are assessed individually.
