Get to know Ireland
It takes independent thinkers and doers to succeed in today’s world – and it takes a pioneering, creative and agile country to produce them. That country is Ireland.
We recognise your ambition to have the best possible education – one that will set you out on the road to a great career. And whether you’re looking for a general postgraduate degree or a more specialist qualification, we have a solution for you that will not only deliver exceptional educational results but will also set you apart from other candidates on the employment market or in academia. It will do so by dint of studying in a country that constantly re-invents itself, is globally connected, is socially and economically progressive, deeply welcoming and steeped in rich heritage and culture. But equally important, our national culture of being pioneering, creative and agile will help you learn the crucial life skills of resilience, self-reliance and self-confidence.
Ireland is a small island nation, located on the western-most tip of Europe. Over the centuries, this has posed huge challenges to us in terms of commerce, political influence and creating a place for ourselves in the world. Our response to this has been wrapped up in creative thinking and a willingness to think far beyond the obvious. We have re-imagined ourselves multiple times, creating niches for ourselves as a centre of international banking excellence, as the headquarters of all the world’s greatest tech and pharma companies, and as leaders in added-value agricultural products that are respected right throughout the world. And outside the world of commerce, we have been the home of creative writers and independent thinkers for centuries, while our scientists and inventors have made a mark on the world that’s way out of proportion to our modest size. This deep-rooted culture of creativity and of problem-solving has made us stand out on the global stage, and the graduates we produce each year from our leading colleges are highly sought after in diverse industries and in markets all over the world. The graduates that we produce are typified by their ability to tackle not just the challenges of today but are prepared for the future in terms of jobs and of sectors that haven’t even been born yet.
