    Career

    Students taking this Joint Honours programme are prepared for challenging careers in business and computer science/law, as well as positioning them for postgraduate study and research in either of these fields. Both government and industry have identified a need for more graduates with these unique combinations of these skills and the business programmes in Trinity offer a unique grounding in ecological, social and governance that are now indispensable to management in the 21st century. Graduates of this programme are employed in a variety of roles and areas, hired by multinationals, such as Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, and by consultancy and accountancy firms, such as Ernst & Young, Accenture, MRBI, PwC, and KPMG, within the public sector and for small and medium-sized businesses. The entrepreneurial route is also popular and encouraged and many students have started their own business and won entrepreneurship awards as undergraduates while others have done so as graduates. Other students have pursued Master’s and Ph.D. studies in business and computer science or law disciplines.
