Students often see the final outcome — an offer letter, a visa approval, a flight ticket.

What they don't see are the countless conversations happening behind the scenes between universities and education professionals to create better opportunities, clearer pathways, and stronger support systems.

It was great catching up with Ms. Agnieszka Kasprzak, Regional Recruitment Officer at TU Dublin, to discuss how we can continue improving the experience for international students.

The future belongs to institutions and advisors who work together, not separately. What do you think is the biggest challenge international students face today?

It was a pleasure to attend the NCI Recruitment Partners Meet 2026.

Engaging with the National College of Ireland team and fellow partners was a valuable experience, reinforcing our shared commitment to guiding students toward premium opportunities in Ireland.

It was an enriching evening at the Eros Hotel, Nehru Place, where UL Global brought together partners to discuss student opportunities, scholarships, and the future of study in Ireland.

Special thanks to Pratyush Manoj and the UL Global team for hosting such a meaningful interaction. Events like these reaffirm the strong collaboration between Indian recruitment partners and Irish universities.

A pleasure to meet the team from Maynooth University during their visit to Delhi this week, at their kind invitation. Sharing perspectives on the shifting Indian education landscape and exploring what’s next for students heading to Ireland. We saw the Ireland opportunity early — back in 2014 — and a decade on, it’s partnerships like this that keep us doing right by our students. Always grateful when partners reach out to connect in person. 🇮🇪
