Education @ Ireland
Ireland offers the triple benefits of superb quality of education, affordable costs and good scholarship options. Also, the Irish government has implemented a Green Card/Work Permit Scheme which provides a definite pathway to long term residency as well as work options for skilled students. For students who are in the ICT and pharmaceutical sectors, the opportunities in Ireland are especially good. Quite a few of our students have also moved over to a paid PhD program after completing their Masters degrees in Ireland.
IRELAND is a dynamic, English speaking country with a young population and a global outlook. It also has one of the best education systems in the World, as per the IMD World Competitiveness Report 2008. The ICT sector is especially huge – a whopping seven of the top ten organizations in thus sector have their European Headquarters in Ireland. Organizations like Intel, Dell, HP, Google, Symantec, IBM, Citibank etc. have a huge presence in Ireland, and also employ and hire a large number of people there.
We have partnered with almost all the top colleges and Universities in Ireland, both state-owned and private, which award degrees that are recognized and respected around the world.
Some of the institutions that we are associated with are:
Trinity College, University of Dublin
Trinity College, Dublin is the oldest and most prestigious university in Ireland, located in the heart of the Dublin City. It is ranked among the top 50 universities in the world. The college has produced prominent figures in history - from poets and statesmen to revolutionaries and rock stars! Oscar Wilde and Jonathan Swift were all graduates of Trinity College.
Although it has a very competitive admission procedure, Trinity offers some fantastic programmes in Management (including a much sought after one year MBA program), Information Systems, Engineering and a host of others.
