“There are over 40,000 international students in Ireland which means the educational system is designed for everyone and it integrates a variety of teaching methods. Ireland is a very safe country, and that is an important factor that affects any students’ life”
“Irish universities were not on my radar until I went to a university fair. I met an ambassador from Dublin City University (DCU) who advised me on which programme would be the best for me. This was the most significant deciding factor in choosing DCU. After consulting with my parents and doing research on what kind of place Ireland and Dublin is, I made the final decision to choose Ireland”
“I am a Pakistani with the Urdu language as my mother tongue, I have always wanted to study abroad in an English-speaking country. I love to explore more places and meet new people, which really helps me feel alive. I always wanted a western surrounding, for that Ireland was one of the perfect places. Ireland has its own culture and traditions, that makes it even more interesting to research”
“When looking for possible countries to complete my Master’s thesis, I found myself drawn to this beautiful island. Ireland has extraordinarily gorgeous landscapes and music that I simply needed to visit. And, of course, I would finish my studies along the way. I loved the local and research community here so much that staying here was my only option! My love of the ocean has kept me close to the coasts of the world and what better place to live than by the Wild Atlantic Way? Nothing tops having a bit of ‘craic’ with my mates on the salty shores”
“I choose Ireland as it offered me the opportunity to achieve a great level of education. It is a place where students are a valued future workforce, where you can grow and shape your professional profile through work experience. The variety of cultures you can find in Ireland makes this country a special place to build up unforgettable memories as a foreign student. The friendly and warm welcome from the Irish will make you love and call this country your second home”
“I find it really positive that the Irish government encourages and supports the arrival of international students. Ireland is a viable country with a strong economy and a rich culture, I can see a very bright future for me in Ireland”
