The Irish government has extended the period during which foreign graduates of masters and doctoral programs may remain and work in the country after their studies. Under Ireland’s Third Level Graduate Scheme, international students completing advanced degrees may stay in Ireland to seek employment, work for up to 40 hours per week, and/or apply for a further work permit or green card. Up to this point, graduates from outside the European Union/European Economic Area were entitled to stay and work in Ireland for up to 12 months after graduation. But under the recently announced expansion of the program, this term has now been extended to 24 months for those completing recognized degrees at either Level 9 (master’s degree or postgraduate diploma) or Level 10 (doctoral degree) of the Irish National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). A notice on the Education in Ireland website confirms that “This will allow eligible graduates who have studied in Irish higher education institutions and whose award is granted by a recognized Irish awarding body at masters or Ph.D. level to remain in Ireland for two years to seek employment.” Non-EU/EEA students completing Level 8 programs (honors undergraduate degrees) will continue to have a 12-month stay back option, whereas those completing a Level 7 qualification (ordinary undergraduate degree) will also remain eligible for a six-month stay back.

The move to expand post-study work rights for advanced degree-holders was foreshadowed by the October 2016 launch of Ireland’s international education strategy, Irish Education Globally Connected. Building on several years of steady growth between 2010/11 and 2014/15, the strategy sets out a number of ambitious goals for further expansion, including the following. A 33% increase in international enrollment in Irish higher education to reach 44,000 foreign students by 2019/20. A 25% increase in enrolment in English Language Teaching (ELT) programs to reach 132,500 students in the first half of 2020. A one-third increase in the overall economic impact of the sector, which would see the economic outputs of international education in Ireland grow from €1.58 billion (US$1.67 billion) in 2014/2015 to €2.1 billion (US$2.34 billion) by 2019/2020. In support of these top-line targets, the new 24-month stay back option appears to be aimed at boosting Ireland’s international competitiveness as a study destination. Indeed, a related item in the online newspaper DNA India concurs that “The possibility of gaining valuable post-study work experience makes Ireland a very compelling option for Indian students with the added advantage of a world-class education that offers better value for money.” For additional background on recent developments in Ireland, please see “Ireland’s ELT numbers up 10% in 2015; student weeks increase by 38%” and “Ireland implements student immigration and quality assurance reforms”.
