    Was just curious what it is like for university students in Ireland to get summer internships. Im asking in this forum also because UL has an international exchange agreement with my school (Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada). I spend every summer in Dublin but this year, as per the requirements of my Canadian university program, I have to find an internship in a business related field. I'd really like to stay in Dublin but there just doesnt look like alot of availability on alot of job websites (monster.ie, irishjobs.ie, etc.). Anyone know anywhere that hires students for the summer (May-August). I am not looking to be named CEO of eircom but I would definately need a position in a disciplinary such as accounting, marketing, or finance. I am in the 2nd year of a 4 year accounting degree and have experience as an Accounts Assistant as well as the fact as I will be starting to work in a bank from January-April. Cheers.

    talk to your career department in ul they may help you out... Lots of places recruiting students at the moment. Better get in there fast, or look at companies u'd be interested in and ring them. Throw in your cv and u might hear back

    If you're lookin for something in the accounting field and trying to stay in dublin, apply for one of the summer internships with the BIG4 firms. Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers are all located in Dublin City Centre and take on interns every summer. You should probably apply directly to their HR departments
