Industry Links - INTRA
“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,”
Prof Brian MacCraith, DCU President
• 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.
