IRELAND IS AN unlikely education destination for Indian students who have traditionally chosen the 'big four'. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, 1,324,954 Indian students were studying abroad in 2022 - 61% of whom were in four countries: the US, the UK, Canada and Australia.
"We are getting there," Kevin Kelly, the Ambassador of Ireland to India, told FE during a recent interaction. "And we're already there in terms of quality - of education, jobs and life - which is attracting more and more foreign, including Indian, students."
The number of Indian students in Ireland has grown 10 times in 10 years - from about 700 in 2013 to more than 7,000 in 2023, and will soon touch 10,000."We could have attracted even more, but Ireland is a small country, and a number isn't always a marker of success," Kelly said. "We've been focusing more on areas such as partnerships between Indian and Irish universities, faculty and student exchange, etc."
Two-year, stay-back visa The Irish government allows students who have graduated from its higher education institutions to remain in the country for up to 24 months to seek employment, and education experts say it's a major reason for foreign students choosing Ireland for higher studies.
