Country guide
English-speaking EU hub for tech and pharma, with a friendly welcome.
The guide
Ireland is the only English-speaking country in the Eurozone, home to the European headquarters of many of the world’s largest technology and pharmaceutical companies. Its Third Level Graduate Programme lets graduates stay and work, close to major employers.
Ireland pairs a rich literary and musical heritage with a young, lively student scene. Dublin, Cork, and Galway offer a friendly atmosphere and easy access to the rest of Europe.
Non-EU students typically register for an Irish residence permit (IRP) after arriving. The Third Level Graduate Programme then allows up to two years to seek and take up employment.
