Studying in the UK from Ireland

Irish International Student Life in the UK

Many international students based in the Republic of Ireland choose to study in the UK and Northern Ireland. There are so many fantastic universities in the UK, with some of the world’s top-ranking courses available to Irish students. It’s worth noting that the university application process will begin earlier than in Ireland so you should consider your university path at least a year in advance.

UKEC works with a large number of international students who have studied for an Undergraduate programme in Ireland and wish to move to the UK for their postgraduate course. We have a team based in Dublin city centre too!
