Advantages of studying in Ireland 1. Excellent education system

The Irish education system is world-famous, ranking tenth in the world in terms of education quality, personnel training and Industry-University-Research integration.

British education in Ireland has the same roots as British education. The traditional education model for boys and girls, the cultivation of "gentlemen" and "ladies", the education of "elites" and the concept of "leaders" are the core of Irish education.

English is the official language.

After Britain leaves the EU, Ireland will become the only English-speaking country in the EU.

Almost all schools in Ireland, whether public or private, teach English. This is really convenient for students who want to study in Europe but hesitate to learn another small language. In addition, Ireland also plans to include Chinese in the college entrance examination in 2022, which is a big plus for students with a Chinese foundation.

Third, the advantages of diploma.

The specialty setting and curriculum arrangement are constantly improved and updated according to the actual development of the industry, and almost all courses can get paid internship opportunities in large and medium-sized companies. Irish diploma is recognized by the world.

Ireland recognizes that college graduates with college degrees in China (including night university, vocational university, TV university, correspondence university and self-taught examination) can directly enter their own institutions to continue their undergraduate studies. Ireland's higher education system includes universities and polytechnics funded by the state and public enterprises, as well as private colleges with private investment. The Irish Ministry of Science and Education and the Training Committee strictly control the quality of education in all institutions. All colleges and universities offer all courses from skills to master's degree, and universities offer postdoctoral and research courses.
