Ireland is one of the most practical choices for a Master's abroad. Programs are mostly one year, you can work part-time while you study, and graduates leave with a two-year work permit — all in an English-speaking country where some of the world's biggest tech companies are based.
Ireland ranks 8th globally for concentration of top universities. In Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick you can choose from MBAs, technology, data science, arts and humanities, and dozens of specialist degrees.
