Industry Links - INTRA

• In the current economic climate, it is vital that we prepare our graduates for the workplace.

• Our relationships with industry, ensure that our students can avail of placements with the leading lights of Irish industry.

• Many students return to their INTRA employers upon graduation.

“The importance of work placements, whether these are in Ireland or overseas, has never been more obvious in dictating the growth and popularity of degree programmes. I have no doubt that the reason we have bucked the national trend for business degrees has been because we offer work placements as an integral part of all these programmes,”
