Is the post-study work visa granted after completing a PGDM or only after a master's degree in Ireland?
27 Jul 2026 · Answered by Mona Negi · 1 min read
It depends. In Ireland, the post-study work visa (Stamp 1G) is generally available to graduates who complete a recognized qualification at NFQ Level 8 or above, which includes both master's degrees (Level 9) and most Post Graduate Diplomas in Management (PGDM), if the PGDM is classified as Level 9.
However, eligibility depends on your specific program’s accreditation and recognition by Irish immigration authorities.
