Education in Ireland has launched an advertising campaign across social media encouraging international students to choose the country for study.

ApplyBoard has partnered with five Irish universities as part of its launch of the country as its latest study abroad destination.

An international student at one of Ireland's most prestigious universities died after falling from the Cliffs of Moher on the Irish west coast in January.

Trinity College Dublin has confirmed it will no longer increase fees for continuing non-EU and postgraduate students amid backlash and threats of direct action by the students' union in Ireland.

Irish Minister for Education and Skills, Ciaran Cannon, promoted the country last week in India as a destination for postgraduate studies focused on business, IT, technology and engineering. His visit was part of the country's largest mission to the fruitful study abroad market, which also featured star Irish cricketer, Kevin O'Brien.
