Supporting Irish Institutions in Japan

Establishing a meaningful presence in a new international market takes time, resources and local knowledge.

For Irish institutions, Japan offers opportunities to engage with students and families considering international higher education. But attending events, building relationships and maintaining a consistent presence can be difficult without staff on the ground.

Brophy Education Consulting provides flexible, locally based support to help institutions introduce their programmes, engage prospective students and develop their visibility in Japan.

Founded by a higher education professional with experience in Irish university admissions, international recruitment and institutional operations, Brophy Education Consulting combines knowledge of the Irish education system with a local understanding of Japan.
