India, September 26, 2025: Education in Ireland, the national brand representing Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide, today announced the return of its flagship roadshow in India, scheduled from October 4–12, 2025.
The initiative will bring 21 leading Irish universities and colleges to five major Indian cities- starting in Chennai on October 4th, followed by Bengaluru on October 5th, Kochi on October 8th, Pune on October 11th, and concluding in Mumbai on October 12th– with the aim of offering insights into Ireland’s globally recognized higher education system and vibrant student life.
The fairs are part of Education in Ireland’s nationwide campaign, #StudyEmeraldIsle, which seeks to provide a comprehensive, one-stop guidance platform on higher education opportunities in Ireland. At the fairs, students and parents will gain direct access to representatives and academics from a wide range of Irish institutions as well as officials from the Irish Visa Office, who will host dedicated sessions to simplify the visa application process.
Students attending the fairs will have the opportunity to:
- Explore a wide portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in technology, healthcare, sustainability, arts and humanities, business and finance, innovation, and much more.
- Gain insights into research opportunities, industry-linked programmes, and scholarships.
- Understand Ireland’s post-study work environment, which has made it a launchpad for global careers.
- Access personalised, one-on-one consultations with university representatives and visa officials, and gain in-depth understanding of programmes from academics.
Ireland has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing study destinations for Indian students, with more than 10,000 Indian students enrolling in Irish institutions in 2024, a number that has doubled over the past five years. The country’s strong academic reputation, career-focused programs, vibrant research ecosystem, and post-study stay back option have cemented its position as a highly sought-after choice among Indian aspirants.
Speaking about the fairs, Ms. Elizabeth McHenry, Regional Manager – Asia, Education in Ireland, stated, “Ireland is committed to offering world-class education in an environment that is innovative, globally connected, and welcoming to international students. With these fairs, we want to give Indian students and their families first-hand access to our institutions to enable them to explore how Ireland can shape their academic and professional futures. From cutting-edge programmes and scholarships to our strong post-study work pathways, Ireland continues to be one of the most exciting and rewarding education destinations worldwide.”
