Study in Ireland from Kenya: English-taught degrees, 20 hours of work a week during term, and 12 to 24 months to stay and work after graduating.

Irish universities and colleges teach in English and are popular with Kenyan students for business, computing, data, health and engineering. Undergraduate tuition is about €9,000 to €25,000 a year and postgraduate about €10,000 to €30,000. For the study visa you show your tuition plus €10,000 a year for living costs.

Entry after KCSE: usually a foundation year, or direct entry to some programmes with strong grades. A Levels and the IB Diploma give direct entry to most degrees, and a bachelor's degree opens one-year master's programmes.

Intakes: September, with some programmes starting in January.

Work: 20 hours a week during term and 40 hours in the holidays (June to September and 15 December to 15 January). After graduating, the Third Level Graduate Programme gives 12 months after a level 8 bachelor's degree and 24 months after a level 9 master's.

MultiWorld International works with Irish partners including Griffith College and helps with course choice, applications and the Irish study (D) visa.
