Geographers leave Maynooth and follow a wide variety of career paths. These include research at the European Space Agency, Management Consultancy, Government Policy, Retail Planning... Our Alumni offer a resource that we are keen to develop. We would welcome more frequent contact with our Graduates so we can build career profiles to inform our existing students.
