In Ireland, after completing your bachelor's degree, you can stay and work full-time for up to 12 months under the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G). During this time, you can work up to 40 hours per week without needing employer sponsorship.

If you wish to stay longer, you must secure a qualifying job and apply for a relevant work permit or employment visa. For guidance on your options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
