Ireland's Dublin International Foundation College has joined forces with Istanbul-based Levant Education to promote DIFC’s Foundation pathway programs across Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Azerbaijan. 

Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and Columbia University, New York have joined forces to offer a dual degree program that will provide students with an international educational experience on both sides of the Atlantic.

Students from the United Arab Emirates are able to travel to Ireland without a visa following the easing of travel restrictions to boost trade, tourism and business relationships between the two countries.

StudentGo was developed to help alleviate the stress of moving country, reduce the settling in period, and allow students to have the best possible Erasmus experience.

Vietnam has used last month's Asia Europe Ministers Education Meeting to finalise a €578,000 with Ireland and start negotiations with Norway. It is hoped the deal will encourage mobility between the two nations.

As Viggo Stacey explores, international students can be more vulnerable, but it is imperative that they are counselled on how to protect themselves from harm while enjoying an adventure overseas.
