Our graduates work in countries as far afieldas the USA, Australia, Thailand, United Arab Emiratesand Japan.
The Study Abroad ExperienceMy two years of study at the ESB Reutlingen in
Germany was the most fantastic experience. I had the
opportunity to make many lifelong friends from all
over the world. Everyone was very helpful and it really
was so much fun.
My German improved unbelievably and I have become
a lot more independent. I got to go on ski trips, visit lots
of other German cities and even compete on the ESB
cheerleading team in international competitions. There
are also so many big companies here, like BMW and
LOreal, where you can do your internship.
I had the most amazing two years and am so glad
I made the decision to go. I am looking forward to
starting a Masters in International Fashion Marketing
in Edinburgh shortly, which will hopefully lead me to
find my dream job in the fashion industry.

you will get to experience this world for yourself beforeyou leave DCUBS.
INTRA is DCUs co-op/internship programme, whichoffers you the chance to undertake relevant work

n Develop valuable contacts in your chosen career areathat will be of benefit to you in the future
n Demonstrate your skills and abilities to a potentialemployer. In fact, many DCUBS students return totheir INTRA employer after graduation.
My INTRA Experience
My 11-month INTRA placement at Anglo Irish Bank
has been a hugely positive experience. I held a position
in Lending, which is an area that I was interested in
but I didnt have a huge amount of knowledge as to
what actually happened day-to-day in this business.
Anglo were very good in giving me responsibility once
I had shown that I was willing to do the work myself.
If you work hard on your placement, you will
constantly be provided with interesting and freshchallenges.
In my opinion the biggest indication that my
placement was a success is the fact that it has helped
me choose my subjects for next year. Following my
placement, which was quite a numerical job, I now
have no doubt that the financial specialism is the
best option for me.
To summarise, I think that the INTRA programme is
a hugely beneficial one. It has given me some real
world experience to reference in my final year and
the experience will make me a much more desirableprospect to potential employers.

B.Sc. in Aviation Management / B.Sc. in Aviation Management with Pilot StudiesDC114 years duration
This ground-breaking new programme offers a distinctchoice for those wishing to train as commercial pilotsor to pursue fast-paced management careers in thedynamic world of aviation.
OverviewFor those who plan to enter the world of aviation
whether as a commercial pilot or as a manager a
sound foundation in business management principles as
they affect the aviation industry are key to success in this
rapidly changing and challenging industry.
The aviation industry spans the airlines, airports andancillary activities directly connected to the airline
business as well as other sectors such as tourism,
logistics and areas dependent on international trade.
To date, few pilots have possessed a sound business
understanding of the industry they work in, nor have
business professionals in the aviation industry had
access to a course of study that directly targeted those
areas of business which are of central importance to the
success of this industry.
This exciting new course addresses gaps in the education
of those entering the aviation industry: for those who
wish to become airline pilots, it offers a route to aprofessional qualification as a commercial pilot combined
with a strong background in business education; for those
who see themselves playing other roles in the industry,
it provides the necessary expertise to maximise your
potential in this ever-changing industry.
First and Second YearThe aviation management course is structured togive you an introduction to all aspects of the aviationbusiness, both technical and managerial. The first two
years of the course provide a general introduction to
business analysis, the aviation sector and technicalaspects of piloting, and they offer an opportunity toacquire a Private Pilots Licence (PPL).
Third YearThe third year of the course begins with a substantialperiod of industrial placement within the aviationindustry with the second half of the year comprisingspecialist business modules.
Final YearIn the fourth year, the programme divides into two
streams: some students will opt to pursue training atan approved Flight Training Organisation with a viewto qualifying as a commercial pilot (Airline TransportPilot Licence - ATPL)*; others will choose to follow morespecialist studies in aviation management here in DCU.
On GraduationTargeted aviation management skills are needed byboth aviation management professionals and airlinepilots, and the career options within the industry arediverse.
Airline pilots have responsibility for the safety ofaircraft, passengers and crew. They must study flightplans, communicate with crew members, calculate fuelrequirements, conduct checks on aircraft controls andinstruments, and liaise with air traffic control. A degreein aviation management educates an airline pilot to
view the airline in its entirety and to recognise businessopportunities that might arise. It also offers flexibility interms of alternative career paths within the industry.
Aviation also requires effective management in theareas of business operations, marketing, logistics, flightoperations, finance, public relations, and employeerelations. Managers in the aviation industry may also beresponsible for planning and supervising maintenanceand safety programmes, enforcing airline or airportrules and regulations, setting budgets, and promotingincreased use of an airports or airlines facilities. Thus acareer in aviation management offers a diverse range ofunique management opportunities.
Aviation in Ireland has grown at a fast pace in the past
decade. The industry needs, and will create opportunities
for, well-educated and skilled professionals. The
integration of focused business education, pilot training
and placement with the industry is the best formula for
preparing the next generation of leaders.
Peadar ConroyAdministration Director, Aer Arann
The DAA is delighted to support DCUs innovative
approach to aviation education. We need more, better
trained graduates, who are passionate about aviation
and by offering students this opportunity, DAA will be
able to attract more high quality people into careers in
the aviation industry. DAA is dependent on recruiting
bright talented people, ideally with some aviation
experience. By adapting the business curriculum to
focus on relevant aviation business issues and trends,
the student is introduced to some real issues and can
more quickly add value upon joining the DAA team.

little, but certainly confident and well prepared by thethorough grounding you have received in DCU.

IBL allowed me to develop my business acumen, my
language skills and my cultural awareness. From my timestudying IBL at DCU, I was able to benefit from a holistic
approach to student development, not only academically,
but also personally, professionally and on an extra-
curricular basisI am currently working for the French bank
Socit Gnrale (Corporate and Investment Banking) in
the Debt Leveraged Department in the Frankfurt office.
Further rotations will take me to Paris and London. I have
so many fond memories of the time I spent at DCUthe
academic staff and all my fellow classmates helped to
make my college years the best of my life.
Shane Michael Kelly,Debt Leveraged Finance Department,Socit Gnrale Bank
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in IBL and it has given me
a qualification that I feel will attract many employers.
I couldnt recommend the course and the staff more
and I feel the blend of a solid base in business, a high
proficiency in foreign languages and a specialism in one
business area is a combination that will really set me
apart from others competing for the same positions.

I was drawn to this innovative degree as it allows me
to use my creative side freely and also challenges me
academically. From mixing with final years for Business
modules, to being taken alone for Biotechnology and
Physics modules, you never get bored! My degree adds an
edge to how I look at products and situations. Ultimately,
MInT opens up a niche in the employment market, as
we are the first graduates of such a programme Im
confident Ill be employed when I finish!
Megan O RiordanThird Year Student, B.Sc. in Marketing, Innovation and
Technology (MInT)
As a MInT student in DCU I have the pleasure of studying
a marketing degree which allows me to gain a great
variety of knowledge of extremely different markets.
This includes the finer details of the technological,
pharmaceutical and traditional corporate business
markets. I am currently out working on placement at
Janssen-Cilag and feel incredibly prepared heading into
a pharmaceutical company, knowing that DCU has
equipped me for the real situations that I will face in the
marketing world.
