Graduates have some great international career opportunities in Ireland, Europe and across the world. Graduates of the programme are currently working in areas such as Banking, Finance and European Affairs.
Sean Goberville | B.COMM GLOBAL GRADUATE (DOUBLE DEGREE): 'I really enjoyed my time in Dijon, with Burgundy School of Business (BSB) being a really welcoming school for international students. I’m really glad that I chose the double-degree. In second semester, I chose International Business management. While I chose a quite broad stream there was some quite unique ones like luxury goods or the wine industry and tourism stream.. Overall, the double-degree is a great choice. It is a great thing to be able to talk about in interviews and I think that it is something that career wise will help make me stand out from the crowd. There are never any classes scheduled for Fridays, which is great to get away for a long weekend. My experience in Dijon is one that will stay with me forever. I have made some great friends and it was really refreshing to spend a year in a new school with different teaching methods. The double degree is a once in a lifetime opportunity so take it if you have the chance! Keep an open mind when on your study abroad, it will definitely help to make the most of it'
