Ireland has emerged as one of the top study abroad destinations among Indian students. A number of Ireland’s higher education institutes have been active in India in recent years, building brand recognition among students and education stakeholders. On the occasion of his visit to India, Robert Troy, minister of state for trade promotion, met with local representatives of Maynooth University and Technological University of the Shannon at the Irish ambassador’s residence in New Delhi, India.
Announcing the new in-market presence of Maynooth University and the launch of Technological University of the Shannon in India, Troy said, “It is wonderful to see first hand, the commitment that Irish higher education institutions (HEIs) have made to India. I was delighted to meet some of the local representatives of Irish HEIs who play such an important role in advising prospective students and building education links between our two countries.”
Commenting on Maynooth’s new representative in India, Claire Doran, director of internationalisation, Maynooth University said, “This exciting development builds on our long-standing engagement in India and our institutional commitment to providing an outstanding experience for international students. Establishing a local presence allows us to enhance our support services to prospective students and our education partners; ranging from raising awareness about the programmes to guidance upon arrival and orientation at the University.”
She further added, “Postgraduate students from India are the largest national cohort on campus, and we recognise their contribution to the learning experience, student life, and the broader university community. India is a prime market for Maynooth University as we seek to create greater opportunities for international mobility to and from the university and a strong talent pipeline to industry locally, nationally and internationally.”
Irish higher education institutions are ranked amongst the best in the world and universities in Ireland rank amongst the top 5% worldwide. Ireland provides the benefits of an English-speaking education in a country that is the centre of Europe’s culture and economy. With its growing economy in the EU, Ireland is a sound and reliable option for international students seeking to study and making a career abroad.
