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...

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 variou...

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 li...

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.

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 neede...

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 combinati...

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...

Tips: Before joining Dublin City University (DCU), students should understand the course structure, campus facilities and the cost of living in Dublin. Engaging with student support communities and clubs would be of great help. I have availed a 2000 Euro scholarship in tuition fees so you can ask your counsellors regarding the scholarships.

Could have been better, faculty needs to work upon how to teach.

Tips: It’s all good, just work hard. Keep asking if you have any doubts or queries as you have paid for the knowledge and not to listen “figure it out” and ask questions like you are a 5-year-old. Believe in yourself and have fun living abroad. Have good friends around and not the mean ones. All the best!

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.

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.

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.

DCU has a great campus with helpful professors.

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.

Tips: Before joining the college students should know what is the accommodation status in the vicinity. Since, in Dublin, there is a scarcity of rooms and usually college accommodation is fairly high so be prepared. Other than that people are welcoming here. There are a lot of sports which one can try out.
