A recent survey of all Irish university graduates found that, amongst the 10 major fields of university study, Business had one of the highest rates of graduate employment (HEA 2017).

• Today’s business world transcends traditional borders and one of the most important things to understand is that business is conducted differently in different cultures. The broad range of business skills and topics studied in this degree can lead to just about any career.
• Graduates will be well suited to employment in the Irish operation of a major multinational, working with Irish companies who supply to international customers, helping organisations to internationalise and grow, and managing a diverse workforce. Opportunities will also be available at a policy level, working for national organisations to promote Ireland as a destination for inward investment, and for internationalising Irish business.
• Building or running a business certainly takes some natural talent, however, understanding how international business works can take that talent to the next level. With business being ever more global, completing this degree could literally take you anywhere in the world!
