Both Ireland and Australia are strong options for your MBA, but the best choice depends on your priorities:

- Ireland: Best if you want a shorter program (12 months) and are interested in European job markets. Offers a 2-year post-study work visa (subject to change) and has strong multinational company presence, especially in Dublin. Typical tuition: €25,000 - €38,860/year (subject to change).

- Australia: Choose if you prefer a longer, in-depth program (1.5 - 2 years) and are considering opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. Offers a Temporary Graduate Visa for post-study work (subject to change), with major business hubs in Sydney and Melbourne. Typical tuition: AUD 80,000 - 95,000/year (subject to change).

With your 4-year degree and 60 months of work experience, you meet the general criteria for both countries.
