Ireland Hosts Virtual Education Fair for Study Abroad Aspirants

  • Education in Ireland, the primary initiative promoting Irish Higher Education on a global scale, has declared a virtual fair titled 'Study in Ireland' specifically tailored for students from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The event is slated for February 8, with the objective of offering students a platform to delve into a diverse range of educational possibilities with 14 distinguished Irish Higher Education Institutions, as outlined in an official statement.

    Aside from enabling chat and video interactions, the fair will feature three seminars focused on specific disciplines with faculty members, along with a dedicated alumni session. Ireland's attractiveness as a study-abroad destination is bolstered by its provision of a two-year stay-back visa and its presentation of industry-led courses in emerging fields such as robotics and aviation, as highlighted in an official statement.

    Kevin Kelly, ambassador to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, shared, "We are pleased to see Education in Ireland begin the year with its virtual fair, an initiative aimed at fostering new avenues for educational collaboration. By bringing together 14 highly regarded Irish Higher Education Institutions on an online platform, we are striving to provide a transformative experience for students, enabling them to seamlessly connect with these institutions, explore academic opportunities, and make informed decisions about their educational journey".

    Barry O'Driscoll, regional manager, India and South Asia at Education in Ireland, said, "Ireland consistently stands out as one of the best destinations for international students, and we are truly enthusiastic about presenting this exceptional opportunity through our Virtual Fair. We look forward to welcoming students from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh, and firmly believe this Virtual Fair will be a pivotal platform for showcasing the abundant opportunities that await them in Ireland".

    "With over 7,000 students coming to Ireland from India, we believe the strong appeal of Irish institutions will continue to grow, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in providing valuable insights and connections for aspiring students", he added.
