What can I do after my studies?
Third Level Graduate Programme
Upon successful completion of your Level 8 or Level 9 degree programme at Marino Institute of Education, you will graduate with a degree awarded by Trinity College Dublin and will therefore be eligible to apply for a Stamp 1G visa under the Third Level Graduate Programme. This may also be known as a "Graduate Visa."
An overview of the application and required documents is detailed below.
See Third Level Graduate Programme for full eligibility requirements and conditions.
Applying for a Stamp 1G Visa
Applications for a Stamp 1G visa must be made within 6 months of graduation.
Students graduating with a Level 8 degree who hold a valid Stamp 2 visa and an up to date IRP card may be granted a 12-month permission under this programme. This is to a maximum of 7 years' permission overall (including any time spent on a Stamp 2 and Stamp 1G visa, this period may not exceed 7 years' total)
Students graduating with a Level 9 degree who qualify for the programme will be granted permission for 12 months initially. This may be renewed for a further period of twelve months (not exceeding 8 years total on a student visa), where the immigration authorities are satisfied that the graduate has taken appropriate steps to access suitable graduate level employment.
Required Documents
- A copy of the award granted to you (degree parchment or official letter from MIE confirming the award has been achieved)
- Your Passport
- Medical insurance
- €300 registration fee (by debit/credit card)
