Career Opportunities in the EU

Are you interested in languages, international careers, and opportunities within the European Union?

Join us for our career event with Eimear Murphy, who will share her journey from studying languages at the University of Limerick to building a career in Brussels. Eimear has long held a strong interest in languages and intercultural exchange, which led her to study Applied Languages with German, Irish and Spanish, followed by an MA in Irish-German Studies at the University of Limerick. In 2021, she moved to Brussels to undertake a Blue Book traineeship, an experience that confirmed her interest in working in a multilingual and international environment at the heart of the European Union. She currently works at the Secretariat-General of the European Commission, where she values the cross-cutting nature of the role and the opportunity to contribute to the broader European project. She continues to expand her language skills by learning French, which has become an important part of both her professional and personal life in Brussels.

Joining Eimear will be Jule Haiges, alumna of the MA European Studies programme, who will share her experience of studying at the University of Limerick and the Europa Universität Flensburg through the Double Degree programme.  She will also offer insights into her traineeship at the Council of the European Union in Brussels, where she worked at the heart of EU decisionßmaking process.
