To fully appraise students of key issues in European public affairs and law develop methodological research expertise develop students' capacities for critical reflection on European policies and processes enhance students' research and writing skills Graduates of our Master’s programme in European Public Affairs and Law go on to work across a wide range of sectors, from EU institutions and national government to consultancy, financial services, and the corporate world. Our graduates have secured roles at the heart of European and Irish public administration, including the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the Department of Finance, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the Department of the Taoiseach. These destinations reflect the programme’s direct relevance to careers in EU affairs and domestic policymaking. A strong cohort of graduates has moved into leading consultancy and advisory firms, including Deloitte Consulting, KPMG, Grant Thornton Ireland, and Edelman Global Advisory, where they advise clients on regulatory affairs, public policy, and European strategy. The programme’s grounding in European law and regulation has proven attractive to employers in financial and professional services. Graduates have taken up positions at the Central Bank of Ireland, ISS (Institutional Shareholder Services), the Financial Reporting Council, and KPMG Luxembourg. A number of graduates have gone on to roles within major international corporations, including Pfizer, Boeing, SAP, and SSE Renewables, working on regulatory compliance, government relations, and European affairs. Graduates of the School of Politics and International Relations have continued into doctoral programmes at internationally recognised institutions, including the University of Oxford, Northwestern University, Ghent University, Trinity College Dublin, and University College Dublin. Roles held by graduates span a broad spectrum, from EU Affairs Adviser and Policy Analyst to Public Affairs Consultant, Regulatory Specialist, and Corporate Counsel. Others have gone on to doctoral programmes or taken up positions in think tanks, EU institutions, and international organisations.
