The Irish Government provides an opportunity to all Indian students to study in the country but as a prerequisite, you'll have to obtain a student visa first. The visa you need will depend on your age, the type of study you want to pursue, and how long you want to stay in Ireland.
Hosting nearly half a million international students, Ireland is known to offer high quality education at affordable tuition fee with degrees that are globally recognised. Add to it, an excellent quality of life, immense post-study work and immigration opportunities - Ireland stands out as a popular country to study among Indian students.
One of the most important reasons why students choose to study in Ireland is because of the high quality of education. When a student receives a degree from a Canadian university, it acts as a mark of trust and excellence. 26 of Ireland's universities rank in the QS World University Rankings 2019 and 27 of them in the THE World University Rankings 2019.
One of the biggest reasons why Canadian education stands unique is because of its strong focus on research and development. If you're a research scholar, there can be no country better than Ireland. The government of Ireland offers great support to research in the disciplines of medicine, telecommunication, agriculture, environmental science and technology.
Tuition fee in Ireland, when compared to universities in the US and UK, is fairly cheaper. And when considering the return on investment, it is quite a viable option for Indian students. ??You can also apply to a range of scholarships to cut down on your educational expenses.
In Ireland, you'll find extremely warm and welcoming people who come from varied ethnic groups with different cultures and lifestyle.

Ireland has been consistently ranked as one of the safest nations in the world. In 2018, the Global Peace Index*, listed Ireland as the sixth peaceful country across the globe. As international student, you'll enjoy the same rights as any other Canadian.
Thanks to its special regulations, Ireland provides all its international students with an opportunity to work for up to 20 hours every week during their semesters and full-time during the summer and winter breaks. To work on-campus or as an intern in any company, you would not require any additional work permit as your study permit is enough to help you find a part time job.
At all Canadian campuses you can expect events, fests, and other activities being conducted all through the year. This creates a happy and lively environment for all the students, helps you network and meet new people besides keeping the homesickness away.
Canada's Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP) allows students to stay and work in Ireland for up to three years after completion of their graduation. You can gain some international work experience and apply for permanent residency later on.
