Ireland for studying abroad

Ireland is an island country located at the westernmost tip of Europe. It is the largest island in the continent after Britain. It has green countryside, fascinating history, and the people who live on it are known for their friendly, warm-blooded nature.

The country, which has a very high quality of life, ranks 12th among the most peaceful and safe countries in the world. (Source: Global Peace Index2020) It provides a warm and tolerant environment with Ireland's young population and international students from all over the world.

Although the native language of Ireland is Gaelic - Irish, English is used in daily life. For this reason, you do not need to learn or use the Gaelic language in daily life or during your education.

Ireland offers high-quality education at world standards. According to the Legatum Rankings, it ranks 13th in the world education systems. It is among the top ten in the world in terms of education quality for higher education.

Its quality in education is also reflected in student satisfaction and experience. Ireland, which has the youngest population in Europe, is a fun place to study. Its capital, Dublin, in addition to being a capital city, is literally a student city.

Ireland is home to more than 1000 global companies. In addition to quality education, it offers students unique opportunities during and after education with its connections with global companies and sectors. It is the fifth most attractive country globally for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

Students have the right to work 20 hours a week on a part-time basis, without affecting their education life. This work time can go up to 40 hours per week during holidays or breaks. The minimum hourly wage is shown as an average of € 10.20. Part-time jobs are generally in the service sector. However, students can benefit from the Graduate Work Visa, also called a Graduate Work Permit, if they complete their education with graduation.
