Options after graduation?
> As an arts graduate you will have versatility on your side. Some seek graduate employment and others opt for postgraduate specialisation.
> Over the course of your three or four year degree you gain valuable skills including the hugely important ability to think critically and analytically. Our Arts graduates emerge as flexible thinkers who are ready for the challenges of the modern workplace in the years following graduation.
> Recent research shows that Maynooth University Master's degrees support employability, with 75% of our Taught Master's graduates surveyed reporting employment within nine months of graduation. It is possible through your Master's degree to become an expert in a subject that you have already studied, with one to one attention in smaller class sizes and independent research projects.

> MSc Business Management - (business for non-Business graduates)
> LLM International Justice/LLM Criminology/MSc Rights & Social Policy (conversion into legal and human rights courses)
> MA International Peace-building - Edward Kennedy Institute (for careers in Mediation and international peace-building)
> MSc Design Innovation - for bright sparks/ideas people/creatives - draw from a wide selection of degree backgrounds to work on real- world problems for companies - including marketing, IT, design etc.

“ I chose to study in Beijing during my study abroad year which was a fantastic experience. I am now working for Ireland’s largest pork exporter, Rosderra Irish Meats Group. I am based in Shanghai, China. The skills and knowledge I learnt studying Chinese at Maynooth University has given me the ability and confidence to thrive in China.”
PAUL GAHAN, GRADUATE
