Ireland Study Abroad Questions

Yes, but mainly in France: a Master in Management, or MiM, structure typically runs finance, marketing, analytics and management together in year one before a year-two specialisation, while Irish universities such as Trinity College Dublin mostly offer already-specialised, one-year MSc programs instead.

The UK offers the wider range of academic programs: 304 higher-education providers reported data for 2024 to 2025 in the UK, versus a considerably smaller set of universities and colleges listed in Ireland's own Education in Ireland directory for prospective applicants.

Budget roughly 36,000 to 48,000 euros a year, combining tuition of about 20,000 to 22,600 euros, for example University of Galway's 20,040 euros for 2026 to 2027, with 15,000 to 27,000 euros in living costs, so a full two year MSW in Ireland runs about 72,000 to 96,000 euros.

With four years of relevant experience, target mid level roles at roughly 55,000 to 85,000 euros a year in Dublin rather than graduate pay, since Computer Science sits on Ireland's Critical Skills Occupations List and qualifies for the Critical Skills Employment Permit at a 40,904 euro salary threshold for 2026.

Fresh computer science master's graduates typically start at 30,000 to 45,000 pounds a year in the UK, 35,000 to 55,000 euros in Ireland, and AED 8,000 to 15,000 a month in the tax-free UAE, with software engineer and data engineer the most common entry roles across all three.

Master's or PhD graduates in Ireland get up to 24 months on the Third Level Graduate Programme's Stamp 1G, while bachelor's graduates get up to 12 months; Engineers Ireland's own 2026 salary report puts first-year graduate engineer pay at about 39,000 euros, with Dublin roles generally paying more.

It depends on the specific program, but your 50% twelfth score is unlikely to be decisive, since Irish universities assess postgraduate applicants mainly on bachelor's and master's qualifications. Your 68% postgraduate Computer Science score and 12 years of experience carry far more weight.

Yes, a 68% score generally falls within the 2:1-equivalent range that most Irish universities use, such as University of Galway's 65% and University College Cork's 65% thresholds. For further postgraduate study, universities focus mainly on your original qualifying bachelor's degree.
