Study in Ireland from India
Ireland is the only English-speaking country in the EU, and it hosts the European headquarters of many of the world’s largest technology and pharmaceutical companies. A one-year master’s degree is followed by two years of post-study work rights, and graduates in technology, engineering and science move readily onto the Critical Skills Employment Permit, which leads to long-term residence in about two years.
