Yes, completing a one-year Master's in Finance from a recognized Irish institution can make you eligible for Ireland's Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G). This post-study work visa lets Master's graduates stay in Ireland for up to 24 months to seek employment or gain work experience, with full work rights. The course must be full-time and listed on the Interim List of Eligible Programmes (ILEP). Keep in mind, Stamp 1G is non-renewable, so securing a job and transitioning to a work permit during this period is essential for staying longer in Ireland. If you wish to compare opportunities in other countries, let your LeapScholar counsellor know, and we can guide you further.
