Study English in Ireland

Since its independence in 1922, Ireland has developed into one of the success stories of the European Union. Developing from a largely rural and agricultural country into having one of the highest per capita incomes and standard s of living in the world, the “emerald isle” is now one of the best options for international students looking for English language programs. The Irish education system is one of the best in the world, and Blue Star has a wide variety of course programs from Business English, to High School, to Marketing to University entry programs.

International students are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week during semester, and full time during the vacation period. A student visa is not required for programs of less than 6 months duration. Courses in Ireland offer much better value for money than most of the popular destinations – and you won’t find as many Brazilians enrolled in courses either! The small size of the country enables students to spend weekends and their vacations exploring the many cultural and historical sites – especially in Dublin, Galway and Cork.

Top 10 reasons Blue Star recommends Ireland:

1. Excellent quality education system
2. Possibility to work up to 20 hours per week during semester and full time during vacation
3. Very low number of Brazilians
4. High standard of living
5. Friendly and receptive population
6. Very safe place to live – one of the safest in the European Union
7. Some of the best value for money courses on offer
8. No visa required for stays of less than 6 months
9. Geographical diversity
10. Low cost of living compared to the UK and the United States
