Placement or Study Abroad Information

A degree is not just about what you know - it's also about what you can do. We know employers want graduates with both business knowledge and practical skills to hit the ground running. This degree will prepare you to graduate career-ready by building these business skills and providing real workplace learning experiences.

In year 3 you will have the opportunity to take the transferable skills module and a limited number of students may study abroad. Every year up to 170 students take internships with leading employers across many industry areas nationwide and overseas, including accounting firms, banking and finance, food and drinks, telecoms, pharmaceutical and healthcare, retail and distribution and the public sector. Many of the firms hire their internship students as graduates. Most internships are in Ireland, but some are abroad.

A number of our students choose to compete to study abroad in our partner business schools in the US, Canada, Europe and Singapore. Some students spend the first semester abroad and return home in time to complete the work placement programme. Other students spend the full academic year abroad, with many of these arranging their own summer internships in the US and Ireland.
