Together with our Indian agent Campus landing we offer you this exciting study opportunity in Ireland:
Dublin Business School (DBS) is Ireland's leading independent third level college. With over 6,500 students, DBS provides a comprehensive range of Full-time Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Evening Degree, Evening Diploma, Professional Accountancy and Executive Education programmes.
The School, which was originally known as Accountancy and Business College, was established in 1975 to provide evening courses for students preparing for the examinations of the professional accounting bodies. The School quickly established an excellent reputation for quality and standards and its students achieved a high level of success.
The first undergraduate programme was introduced by the School in 1989 when the BA in Business Studies (Sandwich) Programme was offered under a franchise arrangement with the Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The relationship with Liverpool has developed successfully and the School became an Accredited Institution of LJMU in 1995.
As an Accredited Institution, DBS is authorised to develop its own programmes and to nominate its own external examiners. There are elaborate review arrangements in place to ensure that the programmes developed by the School meet the standards required, and students completing these programmes are conferred with LJMU degrees.
In 2003, Dublin Business School was acquired by Kaplan, Inc., the education division of The Washington Post Company. Kaplan, Inc. is a leading provider of higher education, professional development and lifelong learning programmes with headquarters in New York City and locations throughout the U.S. and internationally.
