Education in Ireland US events are about to begin!!!

Education in Ireland and Irish Universities are looking forward to meeting you at one of our many upcoming events across the US:

“We’re delighted to showcase our university offerings in the wonderful cities of Chicago, Dallas, Houston and New York” said Michelle Dervan, Manager, USA -Education in Ireland “The ties that connect Ireland with all these cities are strong and include a rich mosaic of culture, business, sports and education links. Irish universities have long enjoyed a distinguished reputation across the US for their traditions of research and teaching in the liberal arts, social science, science, engineering, and medical disciplines. As these four cities gear up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we’re looking forward to engaging with students, parents and college counselors.”

The following universities will be represented on the tour: Dublin City University, National University of Ireland Galway, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin, University College Cork, University College, Dublin and the University of Limerick.

Just last week, the National University of Ireland Maynooth was chosen by The Princeton Review for inclusion in the forthcoming edition of its annual “best colleges” guidebook, “The Best 376 Colleges: 2012 Edition”.

Top reasons US students study in Ireland:
