Education in Ireland, the national brand promoting Irish Higher Education Institutions globally, held its flagship Education Roadshow 2024 in Mumbai. The event took place at The St. Regis Mumbai, Lower Parel, featuring 18 leading Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
More than 300 prospective Indian students and their parents interacted with senior representatives and academics from Ireland’s top universities, gaining valuable insights into the country’s education system, available courses, and post-study work opportunities.
Mr. Barry O’Driscoll, Regional Manager for India & South Asia at Education in Ireland, shared his satisfaction with the success of the event, stating,“We are thrilled to see the growing interest of Indian students in Ireland’s world-class higher education institutions. Mumbai has given us a fantastic response and we are excited to meet prospective students in the other two cities. With over 8,000 Indian students choosing Ireland last year, we look forward to welcoming talented students from across India to our institutions.”
The event was a great success, with Indian students demonstrating strong interest in Ireland as a leading study destination. The roadshow featured a seminar on the student visa process, led by the Irish Visa Office, along with experts providing guidance on accommodation and financial planning for students aspiring to study abroad.
In addition to Mumbai, the Education in Ireland fair has already taken place in Delhi and Pune and is set to visit two more cities: Bengaluru and Chennai.
“We want to showcase all that an education in Ireland can offer to international students- be it a welcoming environment, friendly people, and world class institutions that have industry-led programmes taught by distinguished faculty. The fair provides a platform for students to connect directly with university representatives and academics, allowing them to ask detailed questions about courses, visa requirements, and career opportunities. The face-to-face interactions with institutions and other experts help clarify concerns around studying abroad, and further strengthens Ireland’s reputation as a preferred destination for Indian students”, Mr. O’Driscoll further commented.
