Trinity College and the Irish Management Institute (IMI) are to establish a Graduate School of Management offering executive programmes for people with management experience.
The new school will be based on the Trinity MBA and MSc degree programmes offered by both institutions. Approximately 50 staff will be involved in the new school.
Speaking at the announcement of the new school, Minister for Education and Science Mary Hanafin said: "Management education and executive development is critical if our graduates are to become effective business leaders."
