"Ireland: where learning meets legend and tradition sparks innovation."

We mentioned above how a degree from an Irish university is accepted all over the world. This means that if you study in Ireland, you're setting yourself up well for employment. This rings true especially for employment in Ireland itself, where the booming economy has resulted in a demand for skilled graduates, as well as undergrads who wish to work part-time alongside their studies. 

Despite its small size, where you can travel just about anywhere within seven or eight hours, Ireland is actually two countries in one. When we say Ireland, we usually imply the Republic of Ireland. But there's also Northern Ireland, a tiny state in the northeast. 

While Ireland's native language is Irish (or Gaelic), the primary language is English. In fact, everyone from Ireland can speak English, but it's the native language that's encountering challenges to survive. 

Ireland's location makes it a phenomenal base for further exploring Europe if you fancy a little bit of travel on your weekends and holidays. London in an hour? Amsterdam in 90 minutes? Berlin, Barcelona or Rome in 3 hours or under? One of the best things about living in Europe is the fact that there are just so many different countries and cultures within mere hours of each other. And it's all pretty affordable too, with budget airlines flying regularly to and from mainland Europe.
