Immigration

The most important deciding factor for international students is to foresee stay-back options/post-study work settlement chances. If you are thinking about that, it means Ireland is your best choice!

Last year, the UN’s Global Innovation Index 2016 named Ireland the seventh most innovative economy in the world. Ireland’s rapid rise in world rankings for Research and Development is notable. In 19 fields of research, Irish universities are in the top 1% in the world. For example, it is ranked second in the world for nanotechnology, second for immunology, second for chemistry, third for agricultural sciences and fourth in the world for mathematics. A network of applied research centers within Ireland’s higher education system, as well as a robust PhD framework, play important roles in fostering continuous innovation.

Stay back options

Irish country has world-class education institutions that have shown the ability to deliver ‘employment-ready’ skills so students can transition smoothly into the workplace. A key advantage of studying in Ireland is that students at the post-graduate level can avail of a two-year ‘stay-back’ option after completing their course. At a time when other countries are tightening their visa rules for international students and graduates, Ireland has taken the opposite approach. The Irish government announced an extension to its Third Level Graduate Scheme for non-EU/EEA students at the postgraduate level.

The new permission will double the ‘stay back option’ for masters and PhD students from 12 months to 24 months. This will allow eligible graduates to remain in Ireland for a further two years to seek relevant employment. Highly skilled international graduates can make a significant contribution to Ireland’s talent pool and Ireland can provide international students with a highly desirable start for their careers – in dynamic sectors such as ICT, biopharma, engineering, medical devices, food science, and financial services. The possibility of gaining valuable post-study work experience makes Ireland a compelling option for Pakistani students.

With over 1,000 multinationals based in Dublin, the country offers exciting career opportunities for talented graduates.
