Ireland extends ‘stay back option’ for postgraduates

In a move that will undoubtedly shore up Ireland’s positioning in the international education market and make the country more attractive to overseas students, the Irish government has agreed to allow international postgraduates to stay two years after finishing their degree.

The policy extends the Third Level Graduate Scheme for non-EU/EEA residents studying in the country to remain in Ireland to seek employment and apply for a Green Card or Work Permit after two years.The new extension means that the ‘stay back option’ for students at Level 9 or 10 of the Irish National Framework of Qualifications has now doubled from 12 to 24 months.

Specifically, this will apply to those studying for a master’s degree, postgraduate diploma, doctoral degree or higher doctorate.The move has been anticipated since the launch of the International Education Strategy last year which, among other goals, promised to boost the revenue from international education from €1.5bn to €2.1bn by 2020 and set a 15% target for international students at tertiary level as well as a goal of 25% growth for ELT enrolments.
