DCU is good and I would recommend it to others.
Tips: It's a great school in a beautiful country with wonderful people. Students should know that it is important to learn about the ranking of the university and see if you're eligible for any scholarships at the initial stage after you receive your seat. Also, keep in mind that exploring the city during your course may be limited due to budget constraints.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at DCU are both helpful and approved making the academic experience more engaging and enriching. From the very beginning, professors are super helpful and committed to ensuring that students adapt well to the new academic environment. Initially, catching up can be quite challenging especially for those familiar teaching methods compare to back home. However, as time pass by, the process becomes more adaptable and manageable with the support of the faculty. Professors at DCU encourage us to participate actively in discussions and, collaboration and inclusive teaching atmosphere. The open discussions between professors and students are particularly engaging and interesting allowing us to exchange diverse perceptive. Faculty members bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, which they share enthusiastically, inspiring students to think critically and be innovative. One of the most remarkable aspects of the faculty is their openness and accessibility. Whether it is during lectures, office hours or through emails, they are always willing to assist during working hours and provide guidance on assignments and projects. It is good and would recommend to students. The most remarkable aspects of the faculty are their openness and accessibility. Whether it is during lectures, during their office hours or through email, they are always willing to help and guide the students.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are limited, and the competition for the available positions is fierce. Off-campus employment opportunities are somewhat better, but it can take a while to find a suitable position. Personally, I have been able to manage my part-time work and studies, but I have less time for myself. The minimum wage here is 12.5.

Dublin City University has a fun campus and the student life here is amazing.
Tips: Dublin City University (DCU) is perfect for someone looking to pursue greater heights academically and in other fields like sports. They maintain an excellent standard for themselves. So far in my time at DCU, they have offered the best college experience compared to my previous University.
Likes (Student Life): My current campus offers many facilities that my previous university didn't, such as a pharmacy, a supermarket, designed space to eat, and a proper canteen. Additionally, we're kept well-informed about various events and activities through their engaging Instagram pages.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food available here is either overpriced or lacks authenticity, leaving me disappointed. Given the high cost and poor quality, I've realized that I could easily prepare the same dishes at home. Not only would it be more affordable, but it would also taste better.

The transition to DCU was smoother than expected. The university orientation programs and welcoming atmosphere helped me adapt quickly. I am highly satisfied with my experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Student life at Dublin City University is vibrant, enriching and inclusive. The university goes beyond academics, offering a dynamic environment where students can explore their interests, build meaningful connections and grow both personally and professionally.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty at Dublin City University has been exceptional, and I couldn't be more impressed. They are not only experts in their respective fields but also genuinely invested in their students' success. Their lectures are well-structured, thought-provoking, and consistently bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applications.

The university provides great student life with lots of events.
Tips: Students should be aware that student life in Ireland is very different from that in India. While life here is amazing, students must be prepared to work hard to achieve a good life after graduation. The student life here is amazing. Students and teachers are really friendly and helpful with coursework. The lectures are amazing and I love the student life here. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the experiences.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are part-time opportunities, but most of them are already taken and the job postings are just for name sake and there are no proper responses from anyone. Everything happens with reference here and it is a bit difficult to get into so we have to try hard.

My experience at DCU was good, but I think the university could do more to help it.
Tips: Students should know that the transition will be heard as they move away from the safety of their home. The course has mostly Indians though, as I expected more diversity there. I got a scholarship of 2000 Euros for my course fee. The college can be rated as above average after TCD and UCD here in Dublin. It is a nice university, but the faculty could have been better, as a lot of new first-time professors in this January intake were here. Nonetheless, a lot of hard work and self-study are needed.

Dublin City University is a great place that helps to grow professionally and be industry ready.
Tips: I have enjoyed studying abroad and the faculty helped me to broaden my knowledge. My life has changed after heading to Ireland. It allows me to understand the life of living abroad and have a chance to experience myself and develop even better. The course offers some valuable insights and learning opportunities. These were the aspects where it fell short of my expectations concerning the cost. The instructors were knowledgeable and experienced. They taught the syllabus practically. The combination of excellent connectivity, diverse transportation options, affordability and convenience makes public transportation a standout aspect of the campus experience. Real-time tracking apps and schedules make transportation easier and customer-friendly.

Good experience but a bad market with limited job.
Tips: At least have 2 years of experience otherwise, get some experience and come aboard. To get a scholarship you've to be an early applicant. It is completely random. Don't be shy to talk or ask questions. No one is going to judge you. People in the college are more friendly and make you feel more comfortable.
Likes (Part time work): Yow will land any part-time job. Visit directly to the place and talk to the manager about any available vacancy. This will increase your chance of landing a job. Don't apply online for a part-time job and wait for a reply. It never going to work like that.
Dislikes (Internships): There are no internship opportunities in Ireland. Here they prefer a graduate role. It's very rare to get an internship opportunity in Ireland. Since companies prefer a graduate role over an internship. It's limited in Ireland, as the majority of businesses focus on graduate employment.

Tips: Before joining Dublin City University (DCU), students should understand the course structure, campus facilities and the cost of living in Dublin.

Great transportation facility to explore the city, good University with strong academics.
Tips: Students should be aware of their program's prerequisites and the registration procedure when they attend DCU. Attend the campus resources orientation and seek assistance from student services. Keep track of your assignments and due dates. Join organizations and groups to get a well-rounded experience. If you don't reside on campus, schedule your commute.
Likes (Public transportation): Direct Bus: A direct bus service that connects DCU and Palmerstown may not exist. Dublin Bus, however, has several routes that can get you there. For instance, you might have to ride the bus from DCU to the city centre, where you'll need to change to another one that goes to Palmerstown. Routes: The 25, 66, and 67 are frequently used routes in the Palmerstown region. For comprehensive route information and real-time updates, visit the Dublin Bus website.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Like if you get a job then you will have to renew your stamp to 1G and from stamp 2 which is a student visa. After that if you get a job then you can get a critical skills visa that is stamp 1 directly after living for 2 years u are eligible for stamp 4.

Easy going, friendly environment with a big campus and a huge library.
Tips: Before joining this college students should check for scholarships. The people here are friendly and the professors are fantastic to work with. The course was kind of challenging but you get guidance from professors. It's a really small country and everyone knows each other moreover most of the people are friendly.
Likes (Student Life): The student union, fun events and there are Nubar to the hill as well. There are three different campuses and if you have a DCU ID you can stroll around during free time. Glasnevin campus is huge one St. Patrick's campus is the smallest. They do have cultural events too.
Dislikes (Internships): Not really, internships are pretty tough to get. I did not find any internships related to my course and as I have a good experience I focused more on getting a full time job. But if you can try your luck on LinkedIn to find internships or apprenticeships.

My experience at Dublin City University was wonderful and memorable.
Tips: Students should have some background knowledge about the course and how the job market is for those roles. I got a scholarship of 4000 based on my previous academic scores. I did my master's completely online as I was in the Covid batch, for which I felt the fee was a bit high. The quality of teaching is very good and I’d recommend it to anybody.
Likes (Post study jobs): I got my job based on my previous experience. However, studying at this university was also an add-on advantage to getting a job. I have worked in two companies after graduation, both sponsored visas for work. I working in automation testing and my salary was between 35-40k during the first year.
Dislikes (Safety): I have heard from my friends who live in that area that the locality is not very safe. Teenagers bully people and steal from them. I’ve also heard the neighbourhood is very quiet and some students find it difficult to walk alone at times. Other than that the student accommodation is safe and friendly.

Excellent, approachable, helpful and friendly faculty that motivates us to do good.
Tips: You get to learn a lot of things when you are coming as an international student. There are cultural shifts and also there are many things here that are not the same as in India but we all get adjusted to those things easily. Overall, I am really satisfied.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Very approachable and friendly. Everything theoretical things are shown practically with live examples and also industrial experiences of professors help understand problems more deeply. The helping nature of the faculty motivates us to study and the strict faculty always keeps us on our toes.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The year 2024 is not too good for the job as there are many people and very few jobs. Ireland was not ready for this much intake which has caused trouble here. Very few companies are offering sponsorship and the salary is a minimum of 35,000 Euros per year.

No attendance, good online study portal, and fair grading system.
Tips: No attendance, going to college is optional which is a big plus. Good online study portal to access all the study material. All classroom lecture recordings are uploaded by lecturers and are available by the EOD on the online study portal and there is a fair marking system for assignments.
Likes (Safety): It is a good and safe university to study. However, the surrounding areas are very unsafe to live in. I would suggest upcoming students research more about the unsafe places in Dubin and get accommodation in good areas. Teenagers are causing a big problem in Ireland mainly in a few areas of Dublin. Some mob will come hit you and may cause you severe injuries, but still, you may not get help from anybody including the government and they won't even get punished by law. So choose a good area to live in and travel by bus and with friends mostly.
Dislikes (Internships): We have to apply to companies for internships or jobs. University won't bring any companies like how it happens in India. Some companies will come to the college to advertise their companies and during that time if there are any relevant companies we can ask them and check if there are any jobs available. If yes we have to apply through their company's careers page.

DCU has a great campus with helpful professors.
Tips: I didn't get any scholarship since I applied for this college before I finished my Bachelors. Had I applied it later I would have gotten at least a 2000 Euro scholarship. I am very much satisfied with the country and the courses they provides, the university also as a whole was very good and affordable when I came here.
Likes (Safety): Everything regarding safety is very good for me in this city. The only people who look down are the other Indians in this country since many carry on with an attitude. I don't like to speak to any other Indians except my friends since whenever I approached any other Indians they were rude to me initially.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't have a job at the moment since I require sponsorship to stay in this country but given a chance to permanent reside in the country, I would take that chance since it has greater benefits and is very lively. In the initial days I wanted to leave the country but as the time passes you get adjusted to it.

Amazing university, amazing faculty and a huge learning opportunity.
Tips: If someone is joining a technical course, they should be well rehearsed with the technology taught in the course as mostly everything is taught through applied principles. So one should prepare beforehand as it is going to be tough to study a STEM course here.
Likes (Internships): DCU gives opportunities for internships for under graduates and also for Masters. They give opportunities to take internships in their research programs. In my course Intel comes every year, they select 10 students for a job offer and also 3000 Euros scholarship.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is hard to get as it is expensive and if you cook yourself it will be better. It doesn't depend on the college you choose, for food, you have to learn cooking. Indian cooking material is easily available. Almost everything. For dosa lovers I would suggest bring dosa pan from India and bring cooker as well.

DCU - Exploring Excellence. Transportation is a challenge but overall, worth experiencing.
Tips: No doubt one will experience a cultural shift after coming to Ireland. However, it depends upon an individual how they want to groom themselves. I transition myself in a positive way by networking and increasing my knowledge. I also got a 2,000 EUR scholarship from my university basis my merit & SOP. I am quite satisfied with my journey in Ireland and would suggest everyone to come in here with an open mindset so that they are well prepared to face the initial challenges.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for the course is satisfactory. The faculty of the college is very supportive and provides guidance to the students whenever required. DCU provides real market knowledge to students that helps one to get a job and have an edge in the market.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Dublin's Public Transportation is a 3-star due to its mixed performance across various following aspects: 1. Accessibility & Coverage: While major areas are well connected by buses, Luas and Arts certain suburban and rural areas experience limited-service frequency and connectivity. DCU (Dublin City University) is situated in North Dublin i. e. D9, thus its connectivity from City Center is good as we have 3 buses (155,4 and 13) each running at an interval of 10-15 minutes right from DCU main campus GATE. It takes 35 minutes from the city center to reach the college thus it is preferable, to stay near the campus at least till the college period. 2. Reliability & Punctuality: Delays especially during the peak hours are not uncommon, leading to frustration. Also, it's worth mentioning that not all buses are 24*7, thus people find it difficult to commute post-midnight. Traffic can be witnessed during peak hours which delays transportation. Additionally, disruptions due to maintenance work or unforeseen circumstances further exacerbate the issue, often leaving the passengers seeking alternative modes of transportation. 3. Affordability & Value: Dublin Transportation can be accessed through Leap cards which can be easily built for students from their college. DCU provides these supports and has thus proved to be very beneficial for me as they provided me with all the initial necessary guidance related to the leap card. The student leap card costs 1 EUR for one time travelling which is valid for 90 minutes while the normal taps on general leap cards cost 2 EUR per tap in.

Maynooth University is a hidden gem.
Tips: Before joining students should know that the university offers the highest quality education at lower prices than more famous universities in Ireland. It is hard to find a job after graduation, so be prepared to have extra savings. Ireland is an excellent place for software engineering, law, or pharma. To get a job in the next year, start applying for jobs on LinkedIn or Indeed at the start of September.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Getting a job in the finance industry in Ireland isn't easy. The world economy is not expanding, and Europe is notorious for its complex and lengthy immigration process. However, Ireland is still one of the best countries in Europe. If you are exceptionally good, more opportunities will be presented to you.

The most enjoyable thing about college is the flexibility to work. University organizes different kinds of events like student well aware events, traditional parties, culture-oriented programs etc.

Tips: Students before joining this college should be aware of accommodation (especially affordable housing) can be challenging due to Ireland's housing crisis. Start searching well in advance (consider student housing, shared rentals). Maynooth is a small town with limited part-time job options. You can always live in Dublin and commute to Maynooth.
Dislikes (Part time work): It is a small town so only a few jobs are available. You can only work 20 hours as a part time while studying so it is pretty manageable. During holiday season you can work 40 hours, minimum wage is 11.80 Euros, so you should be able to manage your expenses easily.

Wonderful experience with insightful learning plus struggles to get job after studies
Tips: Language skills - English is essential to get a good job post-education. Learning about Irish culture, events and sports is advised if you plan to amalgamate at your workplace and Uni. Each year more students are coming to Ireland apart from working professionals, so it's getting tougher to get jobs post education. This should be a serious concern if you are a fresher or have fewer years of experience. University, course and country are excellent but getting a job after studies is the real challenge.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is approachable and well diverse. Group projects, individual assignments, class activities etc are used for learning. 3rd Term is thesis or business consulting or work placement. Facul was from Ireland, UK, Russia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Italy, etc.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are less restaurants and expensive ones, only 1-2 Indian restaurants is the locality. Eventually, it's ideal to cook yourself. Food delivery is also expensive as delivery fees is also common for most deliveries. If you are doing part-time jobs at restaurants you may get free meals but again that's subjective.

BSc Computer Science & Software Engineering (CSS) - Batch of 2024
Offered by Maynooth University
4.5
A place that develops you in every way
Tips: You need to be able to cook and do all the stuff along with managing studies so be prepared for that. It can be hard to make friends on the first day but it's not difficult at all. The people are very friendly. Irish people in general are very kind and helpful and fun-loving.
Likes (Safety): It is a college town and we use public transport all the time. I have not felt unsafe while going alone anywhere. People go out all the time and hang out till late at night as well but the crowd of the town or university itself is pretty nice and the people are helpful and kind.
Dislikes (Part time work): I went in 2020 and due to covid the 2 years things were closed and it was difficult to get a part job on campus. However, there were enough opportunities to find work in places outside but closer to the campus. But you will have to work hard to get those jobs.

Maynooth University is fun loving yet an academically oriented school.
Tips: One thing that your should know is to try to make friends early when you start college because in later years people would have made their friend group and won't mingle with you very much. The students are really friendly but won't bother to come and hang out otherwise.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty in Maynooth University is outstanding. They treat every student nicely and spend individual time with them if needed. When it comes to needing extra assistance or some help even outside the course, they would do their best to help the student out. I feel like that's the most important thing for an international student.
Dislikes (Part time work): Even though Maynooth University is an amazing school the one major problem I faced was not being able to find part-time jobs easily. Not only me, but even my friends are facing the same issue and the school does not unnecessarily help the students find one in any way.

MSc Business Management - Batch of 2020
Offered by Maynooth University
3.9
Maynooth University is good university with less program prices than other Universities in Dublin
Tips: University is really good for technical programs as Ireland is IT dominant country. Quality of technical education is really good with 8/10 but management courses can be rated 6/10 as mostly they are focused on the theoretical part then practical. So choose your program wisely.
Likes (Safety): Maynooth university is really good for technical programs. Campus is huge and there are campus accommodations available on a first come first serve basis. Whole campus is under 24X7 security and CCTV surveillance. Maynooth is very peaceful town and crime rate is very low or none
Dislikes (Value for money): MSc Business Management is a blend of theoretical and practical modules but theoretical modules are more focused than practical. There is no exam for this program and you have to submit assignments in Harvard style of writing. If a student wants to peruse PHD after this program then this program is perfect for them as it will definitely improve your writing research paper skills but if you straight away want to go in job market then it’s not ideal as there are only 2 practical modules of Marketing and Supply chain management.
