Study in Ireland

English-speaking, in the EU

Ireland is the obvious choice if you want an English-taught degree inside the European Union. Dublin hosts the European headquarters of a large share of the world's technology and pharmaceutical companies, which shapes what is taught and who is hiring.

Why Ireland

English-taught, inside the EU

You study in English while holding an EU-based qualification, which few countries can offer at once.

Where the employers already are

Technology, pharmaceutical and financial services companies run major European operations from Ireland, so graduate recruitment happens locally.

One-year master's

Most taught master's programmes run for twelve months, keeping total cost down.

Courses and intakes

Honours bachelor's degrees, taught master's, research master's and PhD.

September is the main intake. January is available for a smaller set of postgraduate courses.

You must show evidence of funds for your first year of living costs.
Private medical insurance is required, and is checked at application rather than on arrival.
