Study in Ireland

From India to Ireland – A few things you should know

Leave a comment

When you think about Ireland, chances are that images of St. Patrick’s Day revelry and leprechauns immediately populate your mind. However, there’s more to Ireland than these clichés. Ireland is a friendly and safe English speaking country which serves as the European headquarters of many global IT and pharmaceutical companies. This makes it a great destination for international students pursuing higher studies. Here are some of the great things about studying in Ireland:

  • World Class Universities
  • Friendly People
  • Unspoiled Natural Beauty

Indian students will find that their ability to communicate in English makes their study in Ireland  plans a great higher education option for them.

Small but Active Indian Diaspora

While the Indian diaspora in Ireland may not be as large as that in the United States or the United Kingdom, it is nevertheless quite active. It is not uncommon for Bollywood nights and festive celebrations to dot the annual calendar of Indian cultural associations, especially in a major city like Dublin. It is even possible to get your favorite Indian masalas and condiments grocery stores, although it may be somewhat expensive.

Post Study Work Visa

Most Indian students going abroad either look to migrate permanently or at least work a few years before returning to India, and Ireland gives you the opportunity to do just that. A 2 year Post Study Work Visa is an option for graduating Masters and Postgraduate Diploma students, while graduating Bachelors (Hons) students get a similar 1 year option to stay on and work.

A Chance of Permanent Residency

Ireland also provides options for gaining the coveted permanent residency status via the General Employment Permit and the Critical Skills Employment Permit.

If you are an Indian student looking to study in Ireland you can be sure that the Emerald Isle merits careful consideration. Irish people are known for their warmth and hospitality, and their gregarious nature. Moreover, no matter what your chosen stream is, a degree from Ireland is sure to stand you in good stead throughout your career.

Now you are in your college years, with a fresh curriculum, and perhaps, a new circle of friends! But what is still constant is your desire to study overseas. However, with so many news about people being duped by study in abroad consultancies, you are wary, too! Moreover, you are also worried about being lost in a maze of doubts if you are all to yourself! Here comes the need for knowing the qualities of a trustworthy overseas education consultant

This post will run you through the whys and the hows of choosing the best study abroad education consultant:

The ‘why’ of choosing a good study abroad education consultancy is at the very root of your success/failure in getting the right information with regard your overseas education.

Additionally, get a briefing on the additional services that the consultancy offers, such as, coaching in IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, OET, etc; visa assistance; post-landing assistance; guidance for the visa interview process, among others.

All these come into play in the quality of interaction that a reliable study abroad education consultant.

Support with student scholarships: If you have decided on an overseas education consultancy, do also take a stock if they go the extra mile in offering you scholarship support and assistance with your Statement of Purpose (SoP), besides guiding with you with the admission process.

Top 5 Reasons to Choose Canada as Your Study Abroad Destination

Leave a comment
Study in Canada

Vibrant seasons, expansive wildlife, multicultural diversity, clean environment and an enviable quality of life—all these undoubtedly make Canada an attractive country.

Notably, Canada is also leading on the overseas education front. The Canadian education system—which stands for trust, excellence and recognition–has been a big draw for international students. What’s more, you could either choose to study at a vibrant campus in a large city or in a cosy campus in a welcoming community, if you plan to study abroad in Canada.

While there could be ample reasons to study in Canada, let’s explore five reasons why you should choose Canada as your study-abroad destination:

Quality first approach

Quality is the keyword in Canada’s education environment. The country is known to maintain very high standards in education and is ranked 4th in the world for scientific research. Notably, 26 of Canada’s universities are listed in the QS World University Rankings 2019 and 27 of them are in the THE World University Rankings 2019 list

Earn while you learn option

An international student in Canada is permitted to work for up to 20 hours every week during their semesters and full-time during the winter and summer breaks.  For study abroad aspirants wishing to work on-campus or as an intern in any company, your study permit should be enough to help you find a part time job; hence, you would not require any additional work permit. However, it would be good to know from your overseas counsellors the legal implications of working beyond the permitted work hours.

Student-friendly country

Canada is also known to shelter world- class cities to live and work in–Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, to name a few. The QS rankings’ top 10 list for 2017: Top 10 Cities in the World to be a Student had listed two Canadian cities as the most student-friendly cities, and The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2018 has listed University of Toronto on number 22nd.

Stay Options/Immigration Opportunities

As an International student, you are allowed to stay and work in Canada for up to three years upon completion of your graduation under Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP). You can also apply for permanent residency later on after gaining some international work experience.

Wide range of courses

Another good reason to choose Canada as your study-abroad destination is the wide and varied range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programmes available at various institutions–from major research institutions to small liberal arts schools and universities. Worth noting Canada has 100 universities, 200 colleges and renowned institutes, accredited language schools as well as specialised institutes.

These are just some reasons why you could choose Canada as your study-abroad destination.
