Other than the beautiful sceneries like the Cliffs of Moher and all the historical castles, Ireland is also best known for its impressive economic progression. Their industrial development is the reflection of its emphasis on the importance of higher education and its stable political system that attracts foreign investors.

Corporate giants such as Google, Apple, Intel, Microsoft and Prudential have invested heavily in Ireland and they have campuses all across the Emerald Isle from Letterkenny all the way down to Cork. The Honorable Mr. Richard Bruton TD, Minister of Education and Skills set out a goal to make the Irish education and training service the best in Europe by 2026 as he believes quality education is the way for anyone to reach their full potential.

The combination of quality education and a stable FDI mean there are higher chances of employment for international graduate. Graduate such as Soh Jian Seng, an alumnus of Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) and TAR University College with degree in Construction Management and Engineering, has been employed as a Graduate Engineer with Walls Construction Ltd. thanks to the 7 months work placement opportunity as a Student Engineer that was imbedded in his degree program in WIT. He gained his Diploma certification with TAR University College and transferred credit to get into the 3rd year of his Engineering degree in Ireland. In his testimony, he stated “Construction was a challenging industry but I’m glad that I am now getting valuable experiences here in Ireland.”

Ireland isn’t just a destination for higher education; it is also a gateway for a future in Europe and America. Mainland European countries are known to subsidize heavily in education and fees are virtually free to everyone, regardless of students’ nationality. Therefore Malaysians have an upper-hand in benefitting from this opportunity compare to many other countries as we are virtually bilingual thanks to the multicultural society.

Seeing the success of alumni is the greatest sense of achievement in MyStudy. MyStudy was the pioneer and has since been actively representing Irish Education system in Malaysia. Our team of advisors is always keen in providing guidance, expectation and pre-departure briefing for students and parents. We also provide language classes for students pursuing education in other European countries.
