Ireland - Pre-Departure Fall 2026

Attending IDP events provides access to valuable information, one-on-one consultations, and the opportunity to meet university representatives, making them essential for students considering studying abroad.

Studying abroad is not as expensive as you may think! Use our cost of living calculator to estimate how much you will need to cover all your expenses as an international student. We connect you to over 5,100 scholarships across our partner university network. Reach out to us to explore your options.

IDP hosts many different types of events, from local office seminars to large roadshows with many participating institutions and partners. When events are busy, time with dedicated counsellors or institutions can be limited, so we suggest coming prepared. 

1. Research in advance: Browse IDP.com to discover destinations, institutions, and courses you might be interested in. 

2. Prepare your questions: Write down the top five questions you’d like to get answers to from our expert IDP staff or partner institutions. This will help you achieve your goals on the day. 

3. Download our app: IDP Live App will guide you through your entire study abroad journey. It also holds important event information and your personal QR code for easy event check in. 

At IDP Education, we support you from the beginning of your journey to the end. We partner with many institutions, service providers, and are the joint owner of IELTS, so you can expect to find information about all these services at IDP events and offices.
