Doing a postgrad degree abroad can be cheaper while also offering valuable international experience
“There hasn’t traditionally been large numbers going overseas for a postgraduate,” says Sinéad Brady, a career and coaching psychologist. “Where people have, it is often for a professional qualification: for instance, many have gone to the UK to convert their undergraduate to a professional title in speech and language therapy, as they get work experience and early career development built in.
Pllana says that the UK is the preferred study destination for Irish students, followed by the US, and their data suggests that, while the numbers leaving Ireland for a postgrad remain relatively low compared to undergraduate courses overseas, they are growing. While the cost of living in Ireland is relatively high, anyone looking at an overseas postgraduate is well-advised to research whether countries of interest are really going to be all that much cheaper.
“Some universities and institutions offer both online and on-campus. The pros are that online courses are very flexible, usually less expensive and, often, more up-to-date.”
