Applications call for Ireland Fellows Programme Africa

The Ireland Fellows Programme is fully funded by the Irish Government and is offered under the auspices of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). It aligns with the Irish Governments commitment under Global Ireland and the national implementation plan for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Irelands Policy for International Development, and Irelands International Education Strategy. The programme is managed by the relevant Embassy responsible for eligible countries. Programme implementation in Ireland is supported by the Irish Council for International Students (ICOS).

Objective

The Ireland Fellows Programme enables early to mid-career professionals from eligible countries, with leadership potential, to benefit from a prestigious, world-class, quality education contributing to capacity building. It offers selected students the opportunity to undertake a fully-funded one-year masters level programme at a higher education institution (HEI) in Ireland. The aims of the Programme are to nurture future leaders; to develop the in-country capacity to achieve national SDG goals and to build positive relationships with Ireland.

Funding

The award covers programme fees, flights, accommodation and living costs. Eligible masters level programmes in Ireland commence in August or September each year and, depending on the programme, will run for between 10 and 16 months. The Ireland Fellows Programme promotes equal opportunity and welcomes diversity.
