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...

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...

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!

Best for graduates with zero or less than two years work experience

Tips: If you an experienced person with a sole purpose of getting a job in Dublin then I feel you should not invest in this degree.

Tips: I am happy with the way university has been for 1 year. Met really amazing people from all across the globe.

Open up to people, make new friends and enjoy yourself.
