“I was first introduced to Ireland in 2014 when I helped plan a Ministerial trade delegation of forty Irish companies to Nigeria. Since then, I’ve gone on to work with Irish companies in Nigeria and developed an interest in the Republic and in the Irish culture. I was fascinated by the possibility of studying here and exploring the scenic countryside. The offer of a scholarship covering tuition and living expenses was a major influence on my decision to study at Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT)”
“At home, I had fallen into a routine and wasn’t ready to leave it. But when my mom and I visited the college, I was, for the first time, excited to leave everything I’d ever known. I’ve never had a hard time making “radical” decisions, but this was most certainly the wildest one. The opportunity that was available to me really sealed the deal for me, and I knew being in a completely new and unfamiliar environment would force me to get involved and become more of the person I want to be”
“A big draw for me was the opportunity to work in Ireland after my studies, for at least one year. This will give me the chance to practically apply the knowledge and skills I’ve learned at Maynooth University. I love the peaceful nature of Ireland; the people here are famous for their friendliness and I can also practice my English every day!”
“I wanted to experience my course from a fresh perspective and within an advanced educational system – and in my opinion, Ireland without a doubt possesses one of the best educational systems in the world. The country also has a unique welcoming spirit, which may explain the presence of so many people from other countries here! It’s an ideal place to study abroad”
“I attended an Education in Ireland fair in Mumbai out of curiosity and was impressed by the number of compelling courses offered. It was after meeting the university representatives and reading the Education In Ireland blogs that I decided to apply to a university in Ireland. Quality education, cultural diversity, and a global presence helped me finalise Ireland and NUI Galway as my study abroad choice. I couldn’t be happier in my educational life!”
“Through pictures and videos online, among the jaw-dropping beauty of the country, Ireland always seemed like a home I’d never been to, and for years, I had dreamed of jumping on a plane and discovering the country. I quickly learned — through more serious, thorough research — that Ireland is more than just beauty. Ireland is culture, innovation and community. Galway is generosity, diversity and growth. NUI Galway is leadership, ambition and impact. It was impossible for me to say no to an opportunity to pursue what once was just a wild dream. In retrospect, I didn’t choose Ireland… Ireland chose me”
