Marketing and Chinese Studies Maynooth University

Overview

Why choose this  Marketing and Chinese Studies programme from Maynooth University ?

• Students have up to four weeks at the beginning of semester one to choose their preferred business and language options. This enables students to find the subjects that best match their interests and aptitude. If beginning a new language, it is advisable to attend all lectures from the beginning of semester one.

• In third year students have an opportunity to undertake either study abroad or an international internship (subject to availability), which allows for learning to be put into practice and which significantly improves graduate employability. Most businesses in Ireland and Europe trade internationally across languages and so these skills are highly sought after.

Career Options

• A combination of excellent skills in both business and a foreign language means that graduates are highly employable in all business sectors and in many international organisations.

• Graduates are well placed to join large multinational employers in their graduate programmes. They will also be an asset to a small or medium-sized organisation, where they will be able to contribute to the growth of the business both domestically and on the international stage. Language skills mean that graduates will be able to work as a bridge between the English-speaking world and the cultures of their chosen language, whether that is in an export-orientated firm in Ireland or for a company anywhere in the world.

• Many of the students continue to further postgraduate study in a very wide range of Business, Accounting and Finance subjects at Maynooth University.
