Which countries would be suitable for my study abroad plans, considering I have done some research and am interested in Ireland and Switzerland?
Ireland is likely the more suitable option for your undergraduate study abroad plans if you prefer English-medium instruction and a smoother admissions process.
- Ireland: Courses are taught in English, and admission typically requires a minimum of 65% in Class 12 from recognized Indian boards. Non-EU students need a visa, and post-study work (PSW) options are available, allowing you to gain experience after graduation. Most programs start in September, with some January intake options.
- Switzerland: Many programs are taught in German, French, or Italian, and admission is based on specific evaluation of your secondary school qualifications. Visa is required, but post-study work options are limited and often need employer sponsorship.
If you are comfortable with local languages and interested in specialized programs, Switzerland can be considered. Otherwise, Ireland is generally more accessible for English-speaking students.
