Applications for the Ireland Fellows Programme for the academic year 2022-23 open today. The Programme offers students from eligible countries the opportunity to undertake a fully funded one-year master’s in Ireland.
The Irish Government offers a number of fellowship programmes to students from developing countries to undertake full-time study at Master’s level at an Irish higher level institution, with a focus on courses that are relevant to Irish Aid’s development objectives.
More than 2,000 students have studied in Ireland over the past 45 years as part of our fellowship programme. Fellows bring a unique perspective which enriches the educational experience in higher education institutions in Ireland as they address global challenges. In the course of their studies in Ireland, participating fellows are provided with opportunities to learn more about Ireland.
On completion of their studies, graduates will have acquired relevant skills and knowledge and will be better positioned to influence the advancement of national social, economic and development priorities. Fostering women’s leadership capacity is a priority. On return, graduates are expected to resume work and put their acquired skills into good use for the benefit of their home country.
