University College Cork CUBS Bank of Ireland Executive MBA Scholarship

University College Cork offers the CUBS Bank of Ireland Executive MBA Scholarship (Not for Profit/Charity Sector) to cover tuition fees for one recipient. The stated value is 100% of tuition fees for the UCC CUBS Executive MBA programme, and the value is given as €32,414 for the two-year UCC CUBS Executive MBA programme.

Applicants must be working in the Not for Profit/Charity sector and meet the entry threshold and other requirements for the UCC CUBS Executive MBA (course code CKL11). Eligibility also requires that the applicant applies to and is offered and accepts a place on the UCC CUBS Executive MBA.

Selection is reviewed by the Dean of CUBS (or a nominee), the CEO of Cork University Foundation / Director of Business Development and Advancement (or a nominee), and the MBA Academic Director. A shortlist is drawn following the application closing date, and shortlisted applicants are called for an interview with the Dean (or a nominee) and the Academic Director. The awardee is chosen based on written application and interview performance, and the decision is final.

The scholarship covers tuition fees for the UCC CUBS Executive MBA programme. If the recipient withdraws from the programme or fails to continue throughout the year to meet attendance and other requirements (including examination entry), they may be required to repay the University the whole or part of the scholarship. Students withdrawing, suspending, or repeating their studies due to illness, bereavement, or other exceptional circumstances are dealt with case-by-case.
