Hi everyone,

It's great to be able to get some much info from this blog. I am Irish, married to a Mauritian. Moving to Mauritius is always in the back of my mind and I was wondering if someone has advice for me. I've read all the threads about cost of living and taxes etc. I'm pretty familiar with Mauritius and locations. I would like more information on job opportunities for a psychology graduate. I have limited French and creole but would be willing to learn the language quickly.

Thanks everyone

Wow, your exactly in the same spot as me. In from the UK. Have a 2:1 in psychology and will be moving to join my mauritian fiancé in Flacq on the east side of Mauritius to learn Creole and French. It looks hard as its all totally tourism and everyone knows three languages. Ill keep login on and looking to see how ur getting on.

How many times have you been? What areas of work are you planning on going into?

I was exactly the same. It was driving me mad. The college is the only thing that comes up no matter what you google,

If am not mistaken there is also the Mauritian Psychological Society which is a representative body for psychology and psychologists in Mauritius that would be worth contacting for more info.
