ACADEMIC APPOINTMENTS INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES SPRING 2018
DCU Business School DCU Business School is a young and dynamic school whose history is marked by steep upward development. From the outset, our guiding voices were those of industry and students, and as a result we are today distinctive for our deep and responsive industry engagement and our close concern with the success of our students. From those beginnings in the 1980s, and particularly over the last ten years, DCU Business School has developed an excellent research profile characterised by its industry relevance, and a strong international reach. Our success has been due to two key factors: the clarity of our mission and strategy which together have kept our focus on high priority, effective activities, and the deep commitment and effort of our staff to deliver the mission and strategy. DCU Business School is an engaged, innovative internationally-focused school which prides itself on its excellent reputation for impacting students, the academic community, industry and wider society. We are particularly proud of our International Accreditations and Recognition, Programmes and Student Experience, Research, and Industry Engagement.
