Opportunities with the Department of Foreign Affairs

The Department has specific recruitment procedures. In common with other Government Departments, most permanent posts in the Department are filled from panels of candidates selected by competitive examination. These examinations are run by the Public Appointments Service (PAS), which is the central recruiting body for the whole of the Irish civil service.

On the PAS website, you can read more about civil service roles, including those particular to the Department of Foreign Affairs. Internship opportunities do arise with the Department and we recommend you keep in contact with the Careers’ Office of your University.
