What our employers say

Alan Phelan | CEO, Nucleus VP Group

We have engaged and recruited graduates and found them to be great problem-solvers and critical thinkers. Their background in lean systems has been very applicable to a number of our companies where they have helped to implement sound systems and processes which have allowed our subsidiaries to scale rapidly.

Martin Conroy | Senior Director, Medtronic

The Enterprise systems programme at University of Galway focuses on providing the necessary knowledge to be excellent systems thinkers. Graduates have the ability to understand people; process as well as technology related issues in an organisation. The programme encourages candidates to analyse problems using scientific methods and to generate innovative and effective solutions to these problems. Furthermore, graduates are given real skills such as the ability to work in a team and communicate well. Such skills are essential to fast-moving high-tech companies like ours.

David Ronan | Director of Technical Operations, Teleflex

The Masters of Applied Science programme contains essential skills for the engineers, managers and entrepreneurs of the future. It gives graduates a clear advantage in a changing work environment which values attitude, aptitude and experience as much as it values qualifications. 'Innovation' as a discipline can't be taught - it must be grown organically and this programme is designed to inspire students to solve challenges with an innovation mindset, to look for alternative solutions and be able to assess and apply them with a strategic, systems approach. I see this programme being of immense value in developing graduates who can deliver real value for companies and at the same time building strong careers for themselves.

Martin Keegan | Technical Operations Dir. Boston Scientific

Having worked in the Medical Device, Fleet Telematics and Telecommunications industries, the Masters of Applied Science (Enterprise Systems) at University of Galway is a great addition to those pursuing a management opportunity in Operations or Project/Program management.

What our graduates say

Aparna Lahiri | Turas Mobility Services

The MApplSc (Enterprise Systems) at NUIG has a well-designed programme and is an excellent course. It gives opportunities to connect students from diverse educational or professional backgrounds. The course has a good blend of business and technical modules that are in high demand in the market. The option to select our own modules helped us to focus on our areas of interest. The lecturers coming from different industry backgrounds gave us real life examples which aided us to learn different aspects of IT and industrial management. The course encourages critical thinking, enhances problem-solving skills through various workshops and guest lectures. This programme enriched my technical, analytical and management skills which enabled me to secure a position as a Tolling Systems Engineer in Turas Mobility Services. It is a highly rewarding programme and I would totally recommend it to anyone interested.

Shane Carthy | Expleo

After several year working abroad in education, I decided to return to Ireland to pursue a career change. The Master of Applied Science (Enterprise Systems) offered me a great chance to build on my previous experience and begin a new phase of my career. The diverse range of topics covered allowed me to focus on the areas that interested me, while also introducing me to exciting new areas that I had not previously encountered. The course helped me to develop the skills sought after by employers, with a focus on business processes, innovation, and technology, while also strengthening my analytical abilities and critical thinking. I really loved that my fellow students came from a variety of different disciplines and backgrounds. This multidisciplinary approach was especially valuable during group assignments, as everyone was able to contribute their own specialist knowledge and skills, while at the same time learning from new perspectives. Overall, I would highly recommend this programme to anyone who is seeking a career change or seeking to build upon and expand the skills they already possess.

Huaxing Zhao | Ernst and Young

As an overseas student joining the Enterprise Systems family, I can say that it was a great experience. The choice of modules allowed me to develop interests in different areas and broaden my horizons. The most important part for me was learning from the lively classes and nice lecturers. Critical thinking skills were always important in the programme. This is a brilliant method to help develop scientific thinking when we are solving complex problems. As the programme was both technical and business-oriented there is no limitation to find a career path after study. Furthermore, for overseas students, English skills can be improved a lot by doing presentations, group projects and research thesis. I was employed initially with Proctor and Gamble where I led operations teams to increase productivities reduce waste. I now work for Ernst and Young where I deliver large scale, complex supply chain management, business transformation and Operational Excellence projects.

Wenjing Tang | Ernst and Young

The Master of Applied Science (Enterprise systems) programme offers a variety of multidisciplinary modules, which was a great conversion for me from the pure technical background. The essential knowledge and skills I gained from the course help me to work in different roles, either as a software developer in a technology company or an IT consultant in a financial service company. The programme is a great foundation to pursue wider career path.

Krishna Priya Dharshni | Jaguar Land Rover

Having a Masters in Enterprise systems, propelled my career to greater heights. I was able to get placed in reputed organisations such as Jaguar Land Rover and Fiserv. The course is a perfect mix of Engineering, Technology and Business that provides extensive opportunities in various organisations. I enjoyed all the modules of the course and thoroughly enjoyed the innovative teaching methods which are far different from what I have seen in my home country. In short, the master's programme helps you lay a strong foundation in people, operations, technology and innovation management and makes you suitable for any type of industry.
