Education System
There is a wide variety of higher and further education providers available in Ireland, from the seven universities and fourteen institutes of technology to your local college of further education. At the upper level of the NFQ (National Framework of Qualifications) Irish universities are internationally recognised for their academic excellence and research quality, while major improvements in areas such as FETAC course provision ensure that courses from the lower rungs of the NFQ are well respected in the labour market and facilitate ready access to higher education.

This section is a brief guide to various forms of higher and further education providers that are out there, so have a look and see for yourself that there is something for everyone out there...
