Between Ireland and Germany, which country is better for technical programs and has less strict rules for part-time work?
Germany is generally better for technical programs and offers more flexible part-time work rules compared to Ireland.
- Technical programs: Germany is well-known for high-quality engineering and technology courses, often with lower or no tuition fees. Ireland also has strong technical programs, especially in IT and software, but tuition tends to be higher.
- Part-time work: In Germany, international students can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year (about 20 hours/week during semesters), with the option to work full-time during breaks. Ireland allows up to 20 hours/week during term and 40 hours/week during specific holidays, but only with a valid Stamp 2 visa status.
If lower tuition and flexible work options are priorities, Germany is typically the preferred choice.
