“The Trinity-IMI Graduate School of Management is extremely proud of the fulltime MBA programme and its top position in the FT league tables for international mobility and salary levels of graduates. As we develop the Graduate School of Management and our partnership with the IMI, the prospects for building our top 10 positions is unlimited, ” said Gerard McHugh, Head of Trinity Business School
