Is Ireland a good option for master's with post-study work permit availability?

Yes, Ireland is a strong option for a master's degree with post-study work opportunities. After completing a master's (Level 9) from a recognized Irish institution, you can apply for the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G visa), which allows you to stay and work full-time in Ireland for up to 24 months without employer sponsorship.

Not all universities offer a January intake for every program, but several do, including options for January 2027. Post-study work visa rules and intake options are subject to change.

If you need help finding January intake programs or understanding your eligibility, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
