Is the job market in Ireland good for fresh graduates, and will I get a good return on investment after spending 40 lakhs on education for a Master's?
Yes, Ireland offers strong job prospects for fresh graduates, especially in technology, engineering, healthcare, and finance. Over 80% of graduates from the Class of 2024 found jobs within nine months, and entry-level tech roles often start above €50,000/year.
For international students, the Third Level Graduate Scheme allows up to 24 months to work in Ireland after a master’s degree. Typical costs for a master’s (tuition plus living) are €25,000 - €50,000/year, so spending ₹40 lakhs can be a worthwhile investment if you secure a job in a high-demand field.
Return on investment depends on your course and the salary you earn after graduation.
