Dublin Business Internship

Degree Details

The spring-term Dublin Business Internship Program, which is open only to BU students, consists of three management courses, an Irish history and culture course, and an internship. Students directly enroll in University College Dublin (UCD)’s Quinn School of Business from January through May, and then participate in a full-time, six week internship through early June. Internship placements are contingent upon the student’s past experience, professional interests, and the available opportunities, so flexibility is essential. Students are housed in apartments on the campus of UCD and have access to its facilities and services. Students will have the opportunity to attend excursions and fieldtrips as their class schedule allows.

BU Questrom School of Business students should refer to Questrom’s lists of pre-approved courses at UCD before applying.
