Yes, both the UK and Ireland offer post-study work options after a master’s in nursing or public health. In the UK, you can stay up to 18-24 months after graduation, depending on your application date. In Ireland, you can stay up to 24 months. Both countries provide good opportunities to gain healthcare work experience after your studies.

With a Master's in Public Health from Ireland, you can pursue roles like public health officer, epidemiologist, health policy advisor, or clinical research coordinator. Entry-level salaries start around €25,000, and experienced professionals can earn much more. Gaining practical experience through internships or research during your studies will boost your job prospects in Ireland's public health sector.
