A DBS postgraduate route is built for people who already work. The years in employment belong in the application as career progression. They still need a clear explanation in the visa file.

A long time since graduation is not, by itself, a reason to stop. Describe the work you did in those years and how the programme follows that work.

The DBS MBA family is the postgraduate management route listed here. Admission is decided by Dublin Business School. The visa is decided by Irish immigration.

Start from the management work you do now. The programme finder suggests DBS postgraduate routes that can follow it. The suggestion is not an offer.

Finance and accounting experience maps to the MBA Finance route and to the accounting and analytics master's routes. Check the entry rule for the specific programme.

IT, data and cybersecurity experience maps to the computing, analytics and cybersecurity master's routes, and to some MBA routes. The entry rule differs by programme.

Yes, when the employment is documented and the programme follows it. Do not describe working years as an empty gap.

Salary savings need a trail: who earned the money, where it has sat, and that it is available for tuition and living costs. A balance on its own is not the file.

A fixed deposit can be part of the funds, with the account holder, the source of the money and the terms of the deposit shown. Confirm what the visa office handling your file accepts.

A large recent deposit needs a source. Moving money so the statement looks stronger is not a funding plan. Explain each unusual entry from a document you can show.

Self-funding means the money is yours and you can show how you earned or saved it. The profile form asks who will fund the programme and the main source.

Plan from the published DBS fee. The living-funds figure used on this site is a minimum to confirm with Irish immigration. It is not a full Dublin budget.

The career is the reason for the programme. Say what you do now, what the master's changes, and why this DBS route follows that work.

Choose from the work you have done, not from a generic subject list. The finder is a starting shortlist for a DBS adviser.
