I recommend Canada, Australia, US if you're an international student. Irish universities are all sufferring from severe budget cuts and I think that it is bad value for money to study in Ireland compared to the countries mentioned above.

Also, Canada has recently made it much more favourable because they now allow international students who graduate in Canada to work there.

Non-EU citizens should expect to pay at least 92 000 euro (over 4 years tuition and living expenses) for a Bachelors degree if you go to a university, Institutes of Technology are somewhat cheaper.

Ireland offers something similar. You aren't guaranteed to find a job, but they give you the chance. If you are non-EU/EEA, you can remain for up to 6 months after completing a degree. You are allowed to work during that time, but in the end, you must secure a work permit/green card or you have to leave at the end of those 6 months. With the right degree and internships, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to remain.

After going through the University system in Ireland and the Netherlands I can say that the Irish education system is hyped up to be something that it is not. Trinity College is the only one I would recommend. I just feel overall studying in Ireland represents very poor value for your money and on top of that you are burdened with the requirement to register every year, get re-entry visas pay 100 every time, put up with incompetent fools who work for the GNIB etc etc when the US grants you a 4 year multiple entry visa and thats the end of it. But everyone makes their own decisions in the end.

With regards the graduate scheme, finding work that leads to the issue of a green card/ work permit after 6 months is very difficult unless you have a highly specialised degree. These jobs are scarce and keep in mind that there would be 15 Irish students from your class who would also be looking for that job.
