Will the placement opportunities allow me to stay in Ireland long term after completing my course?

Yes, placement opportunities in Ireland can help you stay long term after your course, but you must secure a job during or after your placement.

Irish universities provide strong career support and internships, which often lead to employment. After graduation, you are eligible for a 24-month post-study work visa (Stamp 1G) to find a job. If you get a suitable job during this period, you can apply for longer-term work permits, such as the Critical Skills Employment Permit or General Employment Permit, which are pathways to permanent residency.

Placements and internships are valuable for building your career and increasing your chances of staying in Ireland long term.
