MSc in Finance (Investment & Asset Management) - Batch of 2024
3.9
It is a very good university and the course should be chosen wisely.
Tips: Bringing in substantial professional experience is a significant advantage, as it allows you to contribute meaningfully from day one. The environment here is incredibly welcoming, with friendly colleagues who foster collaboration and a sense of community. Overall, I am fully satisfied with the course, university and the country.
Likes (Student Life): There are numerous clubs for students to explore and engage with, catering to a wide range of interests. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive. Sports enthusiasts and art lovers alike will find plenty of opportunities to join groups that match their passion.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are rarely available and challenging to secure without strong referrals, often proving difficult even with them. Unfortunately, the college does not provide much assistance in this process, leaving students to rely heavily on personal networks and persistence.

UCC is a great university to pursue post graduate degree in.
Tips: The university offers various courses. Find the ones that are actually in demand in the country that align with your ambitions in your career and enrol. The consultant often tells you a particular course is high in demand, so do your research and get in. The country is very safe for women on public transport and the university campus was very welcoming. The city and people are friendly and welcoming. The Garda or police are helpful to foreigners as well. It is a nice country but competitive too. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experience here.

Tips: Apply for a government scholarship if possible. There is a huge culture change once you come here. Food preferences would be difficult. You should get used to the English accent.

University College Cork provides scholarships based on individual academic performance.
Tips: The culture shift is huge in terms of work culture, but it's quite easygoing with a lot of self-development time. The university provides scholarships based on individual academic performance, and I received one based on my class 10 and 12 performance, as well as my bachelor's degree.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement in Ireland is an easy option, as it takes just 5-6 years to get permanent residency. Although I haven't given any thought to permanent immigration, it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay here for 5-10 years and then consider other options.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not many proper Indian restaurants to choose from. The pricing depends on the restaurant's location. The pricing is on a bit higher side with one main dish costing around 17-18 Euros. The restaurant isn't up to the mark as per Indian taste. Cooking yourself can be a better option.

The University College Cork provides an exciting and enriching experience.
Tips: Before you join this college, you should make sure that you have the prerequisites for the course you are applying to. You should also network on LinkedIn and connect with professors and the Indian Alumni community to get an understanding of life there. Finally, you should prepare a rough version of your resume according to their standards before you go.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself, and I was able to find all the ingredients I needed at the local stores. There is a large Indian community in Cork, and there are many Indian restaurants and stores that serve a wide variety of Indian cuisines. If you prepare beforehand, food should not be a concern.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs depend entirely on the skill set the candidate possesses and networking done in the due course of time. Students should talk to the university staff and people pursuing other advanced courses in the college. Participate in career fairs and meet new people every day to learn more.

3.2
Thorough evaluation and thought must be given before you commit to the course.
Tips: The course was quite stressful and didn't have a lot of options including some hidden conditions such as only qualifying for your full master's degree on scoring a 60 above on average. The course isn't designed for fresh graduates. You are in a much better position if you approach this after at least 5 years of experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were pretty approachable but there are a few who weren't. Overall staff were pretty accessible. But most of them do not entertain or support questions / provide support post examinations. Make sure you have a clear path after graduation to ensure a stress-free transition from student life to graduate life.
Dislikes (Indian Food): A lot of options are available but they do end up being quite pricey for a meal. Indian food is quite hard to find in Cork but it is available but slightly pricey so it is better to buy groceries and have homemade meals. Also, avail of student discounts wherever possible and claim free memberships from larger stores to help save some extra cash.
