Study & work in Ireland
Stay-back & work permits
Why Ireland
What this destination actually offers, and how HTG gets you there.
Ireland has quietly become one of Europe's most attractive combined study-and-work destinations. Its Third Level Graduate Programme (the stay-back visa) grants graduates up to two years to seek employment after completing a degree, one of the more generous such schemes in the EU, and its universities carry strong international recognition, particularly in business, IT and life sciences.
For direct work applicants, the Critical Skills Employment Permit fast-tracks entry into roles in technology, pharmaceuticals, engineering and healthcare, sectors where multinational employers based in Dublin and Cork are consistently hiring. Ireland's English-speaking environment and EU membership make both the transition and any onward European mobility considerably smoother than in non-English-speaking markets.
- Up to 2 years' stay-back on the Third Level Graduate Programme
- Strong universities in business, IT and life sciences
- Critical Skills Employment Permit into tech, pharma and healthcare
