Have you considered the mode of finance for your studies, such as loans or savings in Ireland/UAE for a Master's?

We have not gone over your specific funding choice yet, since that depends on details only you can share, but the real trade-off between savings and loans is worth understanding regardless of which country you pick. Ireland and the UAE also carry very different cost profiles that should shape your decision.

Savings Versus Loans At A Glance

Cost Differences Between Ireland And The UAE

• Ireland's Master's tuition generally runs 10,000 to 35,000 euros or more yearly, with non-EU students paying the higher end.
• Non-EU students in Ireland must also prove access to roughly 10,000 euros or more per year in living costs for visa approval, though the Stamp 1G post-study visa gives you 1 to 2 years to work and repay any debt.
• UAE tuition also runs high, and since part-time work rules rarely cover full costs on their own, upfront savings or sponsored financing usually carry the bulk of your budget.

My Advice

Map your total two-year cost for each country side by side, tuition plus living costs plus loan interest if you borrow, before you decide, since comparing raw tuition numbers alone hides how differently Ireland's Stamp 1G repayment window and the UAE's savings-heavy model actually play out financially.
