You can also speak to an expert who will help you plan this to your best advantage. 2. Where and what to study Despite being an island nation, Ireland has quite a few top global universities and over 5000study programs to choose from!

You can pursue either your Bachelor’s Degree of three years, a Master’s Degree of one to two years or a Doctorate/PhD course. Many institutions also offer shorter certificate and diploma courses with global recognition and accreditation.
