Studying in Ireland — FAQs
Why do Indian students choose Ireland?
Ireland combines English-taught degrees, a two-year stay-back for master's graduates, and a concentration of global tech, pharma and medtech employers - which makes the graduate route practical rather than theoretical.
How much money do I need to show for an Irish student visa?
You generally need to evidence around EUR 10,000 for living costs for the first year, in addition to paying your tuition. Exact requirements are set by Irish immigration and can change - we confirm the current figure for your application.
