Summer Internship Programme
Today’s global economy demands graduates with a global perspective. The UCD Quinn School of Business Summer Internship Programme provides challenging international work experience in a uniquely stimulating location – the modern European city of Dublin.
The rich culture of Dublin experienced through the lens of an internship offers students the opportunity to integrate into Irish life. Students benefit greatly by fine-tuning their communication skills and developing practical professional skills. Placements are in prestigious Irish and International companies in varied industry sectors, in addition to smaller innovative organizations.
Part of the thrill of an internship abroad will be discovering the cultural differences between themselves and their co-workers relate to each other. You will hopefully return with new perspectives and new ideas about how to negotiate in cross-cultural situations

- Banking and Finance

Both the Internship and Irish History module will be awarded 3 US credits each.
