Bachelor of Business in Marketing students have been working hard in preparation for their 15 week work placement, which commences in February 2018.

These students are work ready, having already engaged directly with five companies on live case studies, during the past semester:

An advertising strategy was developed by students working in groups for Keogh's crisps. A digital strategy was developed for Vibes and Scribes. Market research, which involved a poster showcase was conducted for Mahon Point Cork on Ice. Potential event ideas for the off peak season for Cool Runnings were generated and finally a global entry strategy to various markets for Kinsale Bay Foods were created. 

Students have already secured placement across various sectors including but not limited to IT, Hospitality, Retail, Telecommunications, Motors, Media and Travel. Companies range from start-ups to multinationals to non-profit organisations.

Closing date for applications from businesses interested in the placement programme for February 2018 is Friday 12th Jan 2018. Applications are also now open for placement in 2019.
