How COVID-19 has impacted study in Ireland

A zestful and contemporary country, Ireland has a youthful population that pushes the country to be one of the most dynamic in the world. Over 40% of the population is below 25 years, and this is one of the major reasons Ireland is able to become one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. A rising hub of education, it caters to over 150000 international students. Students like you decide to study in Ireland because it has one of the highest quality of life according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Quality of Life Index. Not only this, but it is also known as the World's Friendliest Countries according to the Lonely Planet Travel Guide. There are many reasons you should consider to study in Ireland. An alluring country, Ireland offers impeccable services for you to have a smooth university experience.

Due to the COVID-19 there is likely to be an impact on the education scenario in Ireland

Current Scenario

Students looking to study in Ireland, should be aware of the fact that courses are scheduled and it is expected that the year will go ahead as planned. However, dates for the different levels of the admissions process are being revised. Updates regarding the same are expected to be updated online soon. Students who have opted to study in Ireland and have applied for visas for the April intake have now been deferred to the September intake.

Steps taken by the universities

Universities in Ireland are undertaking all possible steps to ensure that attributes of flexibility are incorporated in the education system for the benefit of students. Measures to explore avenues for a delay in deposit payments are looking to be explored. Certain universities in Ireland may process student applications without certain application documents for the time being. Universities are constantly reassuring students that the necessary measures will be taken to support student enrolment.

Things to Consider

As prospective students looking to study in Ireland, it is crucial that you regularly check the university website that will help you stay updated in advance. Duolingo is increasingly being used by universities in Ireland as a medium to conduct English proficiency tests. What is noteworthy is the fact that test results are available within 48 hours.

English Proficiency Tests

As mentioned earlier, a considerable number of universities in Ireland are using Duolingo to conduct online tests. Certain universities have gone a step further and are accepting IELTS scores of 3 years instead of the usual 2 years. Moreover, TOEFL ibt home edition tests are also considered.

Visa

Students can make an application for a visa online, however, there will inevitably be a delay in securing an appointment at visa centers when they reopen. All the applications made online will be valid till the application centers open.

Loans

Enterprise Ireland has come up with the update that they have been in talks with HDFC Credila, for student loans. Currently, they are accepting online applications for student loans online. The several processes of the said stage such as that of document submission is also occurring online. Loans are being sanctioned; however, the disbursement will occur post lockdown.

Stay Back

The 2-year stay option opportunity that Ireland offers, continues to remain intact. It is important that students regularly check the Embassy of Ireland website for timely updates.

In this time of uncertainty, it is best to hold your horses and have the patience to see how the situation pans out.

The 2004 IMD World Competitiveness Report ranks the education system in Ireland as one of the best in Europe. The reason for the same can be attributed to its rich history in tradition and learning. The quality of courses in Ireland is so profound that it has allowed the fast-paced growth in the economy. The growth in the economy has resulted in the unemployment rate to reduce drastically. Because globally, companies have begun to realize the impetus education has provided to the economy, a large number of multinational companies run their back-office operations in Ireland. Not only these global companies have their European Headquarters in Ireland.

Aftermath of COVID-19 on university admissions in New Zealand

Universities and colleges in New Zealand are progressive in nature and are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructural facilities. Graduating from New Zealand not only enables you to attain a globally recognized qualification but also be known as an innovative thinker. The country has a wide range of study opportunities which consist of schools, universities, polytechnics, college of education, private training establishments, and much more. To ensure that the quality of education offered at these institutions remains superior, NZQA maintains a close eye on the same.

To ensure the protection of your welfare, all education providers were required to adhere to a Code of Practice that came into force in 2002. Only those who have given their affirmation to the said code are permitted to enroll international students. The code ensures that universities and colleges in New Zealand act reasonably and fairly when admitting students. This code gives you the opportunity to trust the institution you have enrolled in.

Due to the current COVID-19 situation, students are apprehensive about studying in New Zealand.

Aftermath

On 26^th March, New Zealand entered the fourth stage of the lockdown, which affected international students residing on on-campus accommodation as well as living privately. Classes were shifted to the online medium. Moreover, the government decided to take up responsibility for the betterment of students and began providing the necessary support services. The government has ensured to provide requisite services such as food, medicine, health care supplies to those who are in need.

Part-Time Job Opportunities

Those who are part-time workers in the health care sector, were permitted to put in the extra hours and could work for more than 20 hours per week. It is a widespread speculation that this trend will continue even after the lockdown has ended. However, whether or not that is the case can only be understood when there occurs an intimation from the government. Furthermore, even those students who are working in supermarkets can put in the extra hours at work, without having a detrimental effect on their visa status.

Visa

It is informed by the government that those students who hold a student visa or a Post Study Work visa can extend their visas till the 25^th of September provided that their visas were on the verge of expiring, All the students need to do is bring it to the attention of the government and put in an email and the visa will be automatically extended. Secondly, those students who have received an AIP and need to pay their tuition fees, have the option of either extending their intake or deferring the course. Students will have to wait and see how the situation pans out, to see how and when the lockdown is lifted. Since there are multiple intakes in universities in New Zealand such as those in February and July which are the most popular or even the October, November intakes, students have at their disposal ample of options to study in New Zealand.

Current Scenario

Since we are in constant touch with the university, we are glad to inform you that universities in New Zealand are processing applications as well as issuing offer letters. However, in most likelihood classes will be conducted online, and once the travel ban is lifted students can expect to complete the remainder of their courses in New Zealand. It is crucial that as prospective students you remain in the loop. Be assured that your application will be processed and that the July intake is on. As mentioned earlier, classes are expected to be conducted online. Universities are making several provisions for the convenience of international students. One of these include online tests for English Language proficiency tests. However, whether or not this will be accepted by the immigration authorities is something we need further light on. Students who are looking to make an application to study in New Zealand, but face the risk of their IELTS expiring before they make an application for the July intake can make an application irrespective because such applications will continue to be considered. However, this does not apply to those students who extend beyond 12 months.

Immigration

Immigration offices in New Zealand are closed, however pending visa requests which also includes Post Study Work Visas for which payment is issued, will be worked upon a priority basis soon.

Future Predictions

23^rd April onwards, New Zealand is on alert level 3, which means that 50% of individuals can resume work, provided social distancing norms are adhered to. Construction, manufacturing, forestry, online food delivery will see some relaxation but with the presence of certain restrictions. However, services such as gyms, salons, boating are restricted.

The summary that can be drawn from this is that students can either consider taking online classes or defer their application. It is best that students wait and watch to see how the situation pans out.
