John Elliot Cairnes (1823-1875) NUI Galway dates back to 1845 with the construction of the Quadrangle Building when it was founded as Queen’s College Galway. One of its earliest academics was John Elliot Cairnes. John Elliott Cairnes (1823-75) is arguably the most distinguished economist Ireland has produced. During the 1860s, he was Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Economy at Queen’s College Galway. In the course of his academic career, he established a distinguished international reputation and at the time of his death, he was regarded as one of the outstanding political economists of his age. Cairnes was the first full-time academic economist in Ireland or Britain and a champion of the emerging Irish universities. Cairnes made many very significant contributions to the development of economic theory and his works were highly
regarded both by his peers and, at a later date, by historians of economic thought. He also wrote about many issues of economic policy, including the gold question, while his publications on the Irish land question examined the rights of private property and the status of contract. The contribution of J.E. Cairnes to business and economics is recognised as being unique and very significant. Charles Darwin and Karl Marx both acknowledged being influenced by his work and it is the respect garnered from his peers, most notably John Stuart Mill, that is the best indication of the significance of Cairnes’ contributions.
At the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics, we take our inspiration from Cairnes’ remarkable intellect, from his correspondence and publications, which are recognised internationally as outstanding pieces of scholarship, and from his willingness to challenge his students and colleagues alike to engage in innovative, intellectual research, debate and discussion.

Throughout the year, I gained a broad knowledge of international business and learned how to transfer my skills to the business arena. I also made lifelong contacts with my classmates and lecturers. On completion of the course, I was selected for a place on the Global Associate Program at Zurich Financial Services. As a Global Associate, I am part of a worldwide network of graduates. Although I was hired to the HR function in Dublin, I will have the opportunity to travel abroad and rotate to other business functions in my first year. The M.Sc. in International Management opened up job opportunities to me which would previously have been beyond my reach and gave me an edge in a difficult job market.” PagePage 11 11
