Opportunities

Graduates from the UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business are well regarded by industry, have an internationally-recognised degree and an excellent rate of graduate employment.

Over the past four years, there has been a 20% increase in the number of Quinn graduates going directly into employment. This is a direct response to an upturn in employment opportunities within the Irish economy and the recognition of the quality of our graduates and the programmes we offer.

Many of our students go on to Masters-level studies to increase their knowledge of a particular subject area, or to improve their technical proficiency in order to improve job opportunities. With the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate School of Business, we share competencies and educational understanding. The transition for students to a Master’s programme is minimal.
