MSc in Management (Strategy) - Batch of 2025
4.5
Perfect ground for success.
Tips: The transition I experienced is that you have to be quite independent and motivate yourself to be a multi-tasker. In terms of scholarships, I did not avail any. I am quite satisfied with the university as they offer not only academic excellence but also engage us with the industry and extracurricular activities. In terms of the country, it is a beautiful place and very peaceful so anyone coming here will love it.
Likes (Post study jobs): There will be many companies visiting your campus offering you jobs like EY, Pwc, etc. So if you avail opportunities with them timely they will give you sponsorship. Job roles relating to audit, strategy, and sales associate are offered if you are doing a business related course and the average salary is 30000-40000 euros.
Dislikes (Part time work): Plenty of part-time jobs are available on campus if you apply on time. The students are only allowed to work 20 hours per week at a part time so along with academics it is easily manageable. The average payout is good as every employer gives you the basic minimum pay.

MSc in Finance - Batch of 2025

Dublin City University has a strong curriculum and highly knowledgeable faculty.
Tips: Students should have a strong background in what they want to do after graduation. Without any experience in your chosen field, it's difficult to get a job here, especially for undergrad students. Also, students should develop some knowledge of programming, as the staff here doesn't go into enough detail before assigning assignments or dissertations. The campus is clean and has everything a student needs for their studies and activities. The teaching faculty is average, and you'll find all types of professors here. Some will be supportive, while others may not care. Overall, it's a fantastic campus that provides a variety of opportunities to help students expand their horizons.
Dislikes (Safety): I came to Ireland from another country. When I got here, I was accosted by a group of children who tried to steal my headphones. I was surprised and upset by their behaviour. I tried to reason with them, but they were intent on taking my headphones. I called the police, but they refused to do anything because the children were minors.

MSc in Electronic & Computer Technology - Batch of 2023
2.5
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.

MSc in Management (Operations And Supply Chain) - Batch of 2025

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.

MSc in Computing (with Major Options) - Batch of 2024
2.7
Finding jobs is a struggle.
Tips: The university expectations are that you already know a lot, and they will brush up on things. You can't be completely Dependent on the university in terms of knowledge. The campus is really big and open. A lot of extra activity clubs and options are available. You can not be completely Dependent on the university for the job. Finding a job is your struggle.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is really good, well organised and time schedules are well followed. There are direct buses available from most of the city-oriented areas. Taxi is quite expensive and not affordable for students. There are cycle and electric scooter options available but you must have 200 euros in hand for that and the safety of your cycle is in your hand.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no campus placement options. Only networking and referrals can help otherwise there is no way to get a job. Finding part-time full-time both are a tough task. Student visa (stamp 2) is a big issue for students looking for internships. Till 2nd semester students can't think about jobs.
