Student life at National college of Ireland is active, fun and full of growth.

Tips: The teachers are friendly and provide good guidance. However, self-learning is a must, and a lot of searching is needed while doing projects. Also, evaluation is quite strict. The scholarship scheme is very good, and scholarships are given based on merit. Overall, I'm happy with my experience at the National College of Ireland.

Likes (Public transportation): The National College of Ireland is conveniently located right in front of a Luas stop and is near the city centre. As a result, public transportation is very good, and it's easy to get to the college without any problems. In addition, there are luas, bus, and train stops within a 500-meter walk, making it easy to travel to and from the college.

Dislikes (Internships): The college should offer more internship opportunities. Currently, they only post about internships and don't provide much information about them. More detailed information would have helped me secure an internship. The college needs to do a better job in this area.

Student life and opportunities are great in National College of Ireland.

Tips: There is a cultural shift, but most of it is pretty friendly. I was provided with a scholarship, and all I had to do was apply for it during my application process to the university. The tuition fee at this university is very reasonable, especially when compared to other universities that offer the same curriculum. The professors and lab assistants are very knowledgeable and share their expertise with the students. Overall, the country, university, and course have been very welcoming and I am pretty satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Part time work): It is really difficult to find a part-time job. There are many vacancies but most of them are filled through references so outsiders have fewer opportunities. Part time along with studies is manageable but requires more dedication and focus. The average payout per week can be around 200.

National College Of Ireland does not provide internship.

Tips: The post-grad courses at the National College of Ireland are mostly filled by Indians, and all the technical courses comprise Indian students. They offer value-for-money courses that are relatively cheaper than other premium colleges like Trinity or UCD. They tend to offer scholarships based on your academic score and profile, and the teachers are really good.

Likes (Safety): There have been growing incidents recently in Dublin city centre about mugging and teenager misconduct but otherwise, it is very safe and people are warm and friendly. The area where the campus is located is not one of the best and there have been reports of teenagers causing ruckus.

Dislikes (Internships): The college doesn't really provide any internship opportunities and neither they have enough opportunities for students to approach companies for internships. The responsibility falls on students to look out for internships. However, the college has a placement department that helps with CV preparation and reviews but your best shot is through LinkedIn or networking.

National College of Ireland: A diverse, supportive, and career-focused experience.

Tips: Before enrolling at the National College of Ireland, students should be aware that the college emphasizes independent learning and maintains a strong focus on academics and career support. The college offers a multicultural environment, providing opportunities to engage with peers from various backgrounds. The student body comprises individuals from diverse nationalities, fostering a rich cultural exchange. This diversity enhances the learning experience and broadens perspectives. Securing suitable accommodation in Dublin can be challenging due to high demand. It's advisable to start the search early and consider areas with convenient access to public transportation. Students should budget for living expenses, which can vary based on lifestyle and housing choices. Transitioning to NCI involves adapting to a new educational system that emphasizes independent learning. Students have reported experiencing a cultural shift due to Dublin's vibrant and socially engaging environment. Participating in orientation programs and engaging with the diverse student body can facilitate this transition. Overall, I am quite satisfied with mt experiences.

The faculty is great, approachable and always ready to help.

Tips: Life is not easy when it comes to a new country. It is fast-paced. Surely it takes some time so allow it. Bring some basic utensils from India like a pressure cooker as it is important. The weather here is rainy and windy so do bring proper jackets and coats. Try to bring some snacks and spices from India as they are costly. Try taking accommodation away from college as it is very costly around that area. A few good areas to find accommodation are - Hansfield, Clonsilla, Coalmine Adamstown etc. Be mentally prepared before you come as life will not be that easy here.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is good as they guide you through the issue. You can approach them for any doubts or issues. Attendance is not mandatory in college but try to attend lectures whenever possible. Teachers tend to hive information and details of important topics and subjects concerning exams and assignments. Try to finish work in a dedicated time frame.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many authentic Indian-origin restaurants are available. Food is also made based on Irish preferences, however, you will find some good but it is expensive. It will be difficult if you are a vegetarian it is more costly than non-veg and mostly accessible in Indian stores. Frozen food culture is here so you will find lots of variety for food.
