MSc in Quantitative Economics for International Business and Management (QuEBIT)

QuEBIT is designed for ambitious students who want to stand out. It offers more than advanced training in economics: it gives students access to a selective international learning experience shaped by academic excellence, structured mobility and strong employer relevance. Entry standards are intentionally demanding, and the programme is positioned for high-achieving students who want to study and compete in an internationally recognised network.

A major attraction of the programme is the exchange semester at another top international business school in the QTEM network. This gives students the opportunity to study advanced postgraduate modules in a new academic environment, broaden their international network, and gain first-hand experience of different professional and educational cultures. The exchange is not an optional add-on but a core part of the programme’s identity.

QuEBIT also combines this elite international dimension with a strong consulting and applied business focus. Through modules in Consulting Skills and Strategic Thinking, the QTEM Global Business Analytics Challenge, and the internship, students develop the ability to structure problems, analyse evidence, work in international teams, and communicate recommendations clearly to stakeholders.

QuEBIT is aimed at students who want internationally oriented careers in consulting, analytics, strategy and advisory work. Graduates will leave with a profile that combines quantitative rigour, international experience, professional maturity and the ability to translate analysis into action. This makes them particularly attractive to employers seeking graduates who can operate confidently across borders and across disciplines.

The exchange semester at another leading business school, combined with the internship and the QTEM Global Business Analytics Challenge, helps students demonstrate exactly the kind of adaptability, cross-cultural communication and high-level analytical ability that global employers value. Career paths include economic and management consulting, business analytics, financial services, investment analysis, strategy, forecasting and policy research.

Students who complete the required QTEM elements will also receive the QTEM Certificate alongside their MSc, signalling successful completion of a selective and internationally networked programme built around quantitative excellence, mobility and professional development.

DCU Business School is among the elite 1% of business schools worldwide to be accredited by EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA. In addition to this ‘triple crown’ of accreditations, we are also the only business school in Ireland to have been awarded Small Business Charter.
