Education Agents
Education Agents
Education agents play an important role in the recruitment of international students. An education recruitment agent makes it easy for you to submit your application, accept your offer, apply for a student visa, and prepare for international student life.
It is important for international students to use a RIAM-registered recruitment agent as they are approved by RIAM to offer you professional and reliable advice.
International students can also apply directly to the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
