“I have always enjoyed exploring new places and learning about different cultures. I went on to study A-levels in another state after graduating from high school to widen my options. That was when I met my guidance counsellor, Mr Benjamin. I got to know about Ireland through him and MyStudy. The best thing about Ireland is that it has plenty of captivating castles and natural wonders, and third-level education is provided at a much lower cost compared to other countries”
“I am a Business Administration Marketing student, so gaining international experience is a priority. I love culture and exploring the outdoors (I am an avid hiker!) Ireland fits the bill, showcasing the best of both worlds – truly embodying a great balance of work and play”
“Ireland is home to many innovative technology companies, including Google and Facebook. In addition to this, Ireland has a very strong relationship with the Ontario Colleges of Canada and so that was my opportunity, both financially and personally, to pursue a degree with international leverage. It has always been a dream of mine to gain international experience, and with the help of the friendly and resourceful recruiters I met from IT Carlow, I realised that Ireland was my best option”
“Ireland ticks all the boxes! It offers the opportunity to surmount the language barrier, experience a different culture and a reputed educational system recognised for excellence in many disciplines. Research and practical work on offer here is a good way of getting hands-on experience for aspiring graduates and an emerging IT Industry in the backdrop of a strong and stable economy, provides me with a sense of direction in my career”
“Ireland is so green and there are many examples of ancient architecture which tell the history of the country vividly. I love photography, and these two points make Ireland a dream for me! Irish people live their lives at a slower pace, encouraging you to appreciate the good things in life”
“It all boils down to history. My own history, Ireland’s history, and how they intersect. My family has lived in Canada long enough to be considered Canadian, but we were once Irish. I cannot help but feel curious about my familial roots. Beyond that, I find myself fascinated with Irish history. It is very different from what I’m used to, and fills every stone in this country”
