Study Destinations

Ireland is a top destination for international students, offering world-class education, a safe and welcoming environment, and strong connections to global industries such as technology, finance, and pharmaceuticals. Prestigious institutions like Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and University of Galway offer a wide range of English-taught undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Additionally, affordable private colleges such as Dublin Business School, Griffith College, and IBAT College Dublin provide high-quality, career-focused programs at competitive tuition fees. Bachelor’s degrees typically last three to four years, starting from as low as €6,000 per year, while master’s programs usually take one year, starting from €10,000, with an average cost of around €15,000. Ireland accepts IELTS, PTE, and Duolingo for both university admissions and student visa applications, offering flexibility for language requirements. Living costs typically range from €10,000 to €15,000 per year, depending on location and lifestyle. The student visa fee is waived for applicants from Sri Lanka and some other countries, and Ireland maintains a high visa success rate for genuine students. Through the Third Level Graduate Scheme, international graduates can stay for up to one year after a bachelor's and two years after a master's or PhD to gain work experience. Students are allowed to work part-time (20 hours/week) during the academic term and full-time during holidays. With access to generous scholarships, strong student support services, and a vibrant multicultural community, Ireland offers not only a high-quality and affordable education but also a valuable pathway to global career opportunities.
