During the event, Americans and Canadians can expect a warm welcome and enjoy private conversations with representatives from universities, colleges, and the Irish government. They can use this time to get instant advice and ask any question about the application process, research opportunities, work experience, and what it’s like to live in Ireland.
The list of exhibiting institutions includes world-class universities and colleges offering postgraduate programs in technology, economics, engineering, science, entertainment, the arts, and includes University College Dublin, University College Cork, University of Limerick, RCSI University of Medicine, and Health Sciences, and much more.

“With so much competition in today’s job market, students are looking for an educational experience which will not only help them stand out with future employers, but also provide them with a network to turn to for advice, contacts, and a heads up on job openings,” says Sara Dart, Senior Vice President at Education in Ireland.
“For an American or Canadian to have studied in Ireland, they’ll have a completely different perspective to offer future employers plus a global network to lean on. Those kinds of advantages produce a lifetime of returns.”
