Ireland is internationally recognized for its impressive standards of education. Its capital city – which is also the English-speaking capital of the Eurozone – is fast emerging as a prominent education hub for overseas students.

Diploma, master’s and PhD courses are all available at Dublin’s leading universities, colleges and educational institutions.

The hospitality and genuine warmth of Dublin’s people is always mentioned by students as one of the most enriching parts of their time here; it makes a vital contribution to their experience of settling in and making the most of student life in the city.

This reflects figures in the rest of the country, with Polish people being the largest non-national group in Ireland. Some areas of Dublin are more densely internationally populated than others; for example, one in six residents of Fingal, on Dublin’s northside, is a non-Irish national, while that figure stands at a significant 29% in Saggart, on the southside.
