Is it allowed to pursue two courses at the same time abroad, such as graduating and another course simultaneously in Ireland?

No, in Ireland, international students are generally allowed to enroll in only one full-time course at a time on a student visa. Taking multiple full-time courses simultaneously is not permitted and may risk your visa status.

After graduation, the Third Level Graduate Scheme lets you stay and work in Ireland for 12-24 months (depending on your degree level). During this period, you may be able to take additional courses if you follow visa rules and get the necessary approvals.
