Dublin Business School (DBS)

Dublin Business School (DBS) is Ireland's largest private third-level institution, founded in 1975 and awarding degrees validated by QQI and awarded in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University for many business programs. Located on Aungier Street in central Dublin — steps from St Stephen's Green and Dublin Castle — DBS has built a strong reputation in business, law, psychology, arts, media, computing, and creative arts. With 9,000 students across undergraduate and postgraduate programs, DBS is a significant part of Dublin's private higher education landscape.

DBS is particularly popular with mature and working students due to its flexible scheduling — many programs offer evening and weekend classes in addition to full-time delivery. Its central Dublin location makes it accessible by all public transport modes, and DBS's career development service has established active partnerships with Dublin's financial, media, and legal sectors. International students represent 40% of enrollment, and the college has an active international student office offering dedicated immigration, welfare, and academic support services.
