Ireland is aiming to double the number of Indian students studying in the country in three years, its Minister for Higher Education and Skills, Ciaran Cannon T D, said in Bangalore. Around 850 Indian students are currently studying in Ireland for post-graduate degrees in engineering, pharma, business, computer sciences, accounting, and hospitality management. According to Irish officials, it is estimated that every 100 additional international students who come to Ireland support the creation of 15 local jobs, through spending on tuition, accommodation and other living expenses.
