Of the 4 Master in Management programs we track in Ireland, only 2 publish a salary comparable across schools ($78,411 to $90,723) — too few to call a national median, so the figures stand as they are. It is the Financial Times Masters in Management weighted salary — alumni pay reported roughly three years after graduation, adjusted for purchasing power and expressed in US dollars — not the salary a graduate starts on.
Salary by school
Salary is the FT weighted figure measured about three years after graduation (USD, PPP-adjusted) — not a starting salary. A school not in the FT table shows its own reported figure in its own currency, which is why it is named separately above. Click any school for its full salary and career-outcomes breakdown.

What the national data shows
Ireland's Higher Education Authority surveys every graduate nine months out — the Graduate Outcomes Survey. The figures below are for the Postgraduate Taught (master's) cohort, the level a MiM sits at.
The HEA reports salary in bands rather than a median. The CSO's tax-linked data puts median graduate earnings around €625/week gross one year out, higher at master's level. Employment and contract are measured 9 months out.

Graduates of a Level 9 award — a Master's — at an Irish institution qualify for the Third Level Graduate Programme, which extends their permission on a Stamp 1G for up to 24 months: granted for 12 months, then renewed for a further 12 once you show you are seeking graduate-level work. During it you can work full-time without a separate employment permit.
Apply within six months of receiving your final results. Once you secure a graduate role, you move to an employment permit and a Stamp 1 or Stamp 4.
Tuition vs. salary
Tuition across these programs runs from €23,000 to €25,150, against the $78,411 to $90,723 reported by the 2 programmes that publish a salary.
Tuition is shown in EUR and salary in US dollars (the FT's reporting currency), and the salary is measured about three years after graduation while the tuition is paid up front — so treat this as a rough orientation, not a precise return-on-investment ratio. Living costs, scholarships and exchange rates all move the real number.
