Journalism graduates of NUI Galway work with national and regional newspapers, national television and radio, and local radio. While most graduates’ preferred choice is to work as journalists, some graduates work as public relations executives and as press and information officers with various national and local organisations. Over the years graduates and students from the programme have been winners of various national awards for young journalists, including most recently, the National Press Student Journalist of the Year 2006 award, at the Oxygen student media awards.
