On graduation, you will have a strong academic knowledge of international business and management, together with a high-level of competence in the language you have studied. Recent graduates are employed in Ireland and abroad by leading international companies such as consultancy organisations, embassies and public sector bodies. Because of the Business School’s unique focus on all aspects of sustainability, many graduates work in organisations especially contributing to sustainability at local, national and international levels. Many are working in marketing or international management roles while others occupy more specialist positions (such as analysts or researchers). Some proceed to undertake further study and research in international business at postgraduate level.
