University

With many internationally ranked institutions, Ireland is a popular choice for students from around the world. Five of Ireland’s universities are in the 2022 QS World University Rankings top 500. The highest ranked of these is Trinity College Dublin – University of Dublin, which is placed at 101st. 

The higher education system in Ireland consists of the university sector, institutes of technology and private independent colleges. In addition to state-funded colleges, a number of fee-paying third-level educational institutions offer courses, mainly in professional vocational training and business. Some of these colleges are linked to universities or professional associations and their qualifications may be accredited accordingly.

The entry requirements for international students to higher education are determined individually by each institution and are generally based on national examination performance and English language skills.
