Advice on investing 35k Lump Sum while studying

Hi,

I'm hoping to return to university in 2013 for three years and would like to invest a portion of my savings (35k) during that time.

I've been looking at purchasing a buy-to-let property in Dublin but I am cautious for obvious reasons.

I live abroad and will be studying in the UK rather than Ireland.

Any tips would be appreciated.

If your timeframe for investing is three years, I would suggest a deposit account. It's very difficult to get a mortgage to purchase a buy-to-let property here if you live abroad.
