Studying in the UK no need to worry about the recognition of your hard-earned qualifications, as those gained at UK institutions are accepted by universities, employers and governments throughout the world, affording students a huge amount of freedom once they graduate.
Postgraduate courses are also generally shorter in the UK, meaning that students can earn your degree and start your career much faster than in other countries.
English is one of the world's most popular languages and is widely used in the business sphere. Studying in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales also means that you'll get to experience the UK's unique culture. Nature lovers will feel at home within the countryside and coastal towns while city dwellers will find their haven in cosmopolitan cities such as London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. Studying in the UK, students will find that the history is rich, the nightlife diverse and that opportunities to broaden your horizons are endless.
There are number of postgraduate study options for students in the UK. A variety of Masters courses are available and they are split into two types:
Taught courses - allow students to build on knowledge gained during your undergraduate study through lectures, seminars and practical work
Research courses - focus more on independent study and involve less guidance from tutors. Masters programmes last one-year full time, although some research-based courses can take 18 months to two years to complete. To gain entry onto a course as an international student students will need: to have gained a Bachelor’s degree (usually completed over three years,) or an equivalent qualification in another country to ensure students can meet the required level of English language to participate fully on your chosen course a copy of your passport.
Higher education in Ireland is provided by a range of institutions, including seven universities, seven Colleges of Education and 14 Institutes of Technology. Ireland's seven universities are state funded and include:

Dublin City University (DCU)
-
National University of Ireland, Galway
-
National University of Ireland, Maynooth
-
Trinity College, Dublin

University College Cork

Five institutions feature in the world's top 500 according to QS world ranking. Trinity College Dublin is the highest entry, at number 108, followed by University College, Dublin (185), National University of Ireland, Galway (259), University College Cork (310) and Dublin City University (429).
Popular student cities include the country's capital, Dublin, which houses the greatest concentration of universities and colleges. Galway on the west coast and Cork on the south coast are also popular student destinations.
The academic calendar in Ireland reflects that of the UK. You'll usually start in September, work through to December and then break for Christmas. You'll resume your studies in January and finish in June/July with a break in between for Easter.
Irish Masters follow a similar structure to those in the UK and usually take one year to complete. Some research Masters may take two years. You'll work through modular units of study, completing any necessary assessments, before embarking on a dissertation in your final year.
Entry requirements differ between institutions and courses; however most programmes require a 2:2 undergraduate degree in a related discipline as a minimum.
The majority of postgraduate courses in Ireland are taught in English, so if this isn't your first language students will need to provide evidence of your proficiency.
Make sure that you understand the entry requirements for the course that interests you before applying. Contact the university to clarify if necessary. This session ended with Q&A.
