MBA — FAQs
Does my Bangladeshi degree fit this programme?
Any 4-yr Honours: BBA, BSS, BA, BSc, BSc Eng, LLB, Pharm etc. DBS makes the final academic assessment. A 4-year Honours bachelor is the safe profile. 3-year pass degrees need a DBS pre-assessment.
What English score does DBS list?
IELTS 6.0 / PTE 55 / DET 105 / TOEFL iBT 76. Do not assume a medium-of-instruction waiver — the visa file also needs English evidence. Confirm the current requirement with DBS before you book a test.
How much money do I need to show?
Planning figure: €23,500 (tuition after scholarship €13,500 + Irish living funds €10,000). Irish rules also set a minimum pre-visa tuition payment of €6,000. DBS's Bangladesh page says tuition must be paid before the visa — confirm the exact amount.
Is April 2027 confirmed?
Verify with DBS – not on official 2027 calendar Treat this as an enquiry option until DBS admissions confirms the course, start date and deadline in writing.
