Post-study work visa opportunities<\/h3>\n

When it comes to post-study work, Ireland is the only English-speaking country in Europe that offers post-study work visas to international graduates, making it an attractive destination to kick-start your career.

A mix of city life and nature<\/h3>\n

Ireland offers a great balance of city life and country life. Major cities in Ireland are smaller than other European capitals but offer everything you need (from shops and restaurants to entertainment and transport) and are vibrant and full of unique history. You won\u2019t need to travel far out of any of Ireland\u2019s cities to discover its famous natural beauty. From the Cliffs of Moher (which you might recognise from Harry Potter) and the Ring of Kerry to Brow Head and Dingle, the natural landscapes around Ireland are breathtaking and perfect for exploring whilst you study for your degree.<\/p>\n

Perfect travel location<\/h3>\n

Not only will you be able to take advantage of everything Ireland has to offer, but you will also have Europe on your doorstep. With the UK within easy reach and the west coast of Europe just a few hours away by plane, travel opportunities are vast (in between your studies of course). It\u2019s also worth mentioning that North and South America sit just across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
