MSc in Business Analytics - Batch of 2024
2.9
The university is good for research studies.
Tips: Students should be aware of whether they can adapt to this study procedure. Check if you are eligible for any scholarships. And don't expect to get part-time work at the moment you reach Ireland. I was satisfied with my course but the only thing is placement, I don't get any guidance for placement from my university. My job search is on my own.
Likes (Student Life): We get a lot of project and learning opportunities for the development of careers so I recommend a good rating for the student life. 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.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs for now is very difficult to find a job even if we have good experience in the respective field. And a lot of companies do not offer sponsorship for visas for work. I'm looking for job roles such as Power BI developed, Business analyst, data analyst, etc.

MSc International Business - Batch of 2022
4.2
Multi-dimensional, fast moving and fun.
Tips: Students should know that the curriculum is not based on the traditional book-and-revision method. You need to study prior to the lecture, understand concepts, do assignments, and do internal research as well on the subject apart from lectures. There are various resources available, and you can use them for studies. 
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few shops like McD and Supermacs available in Maynooth Town. However, if you are habituated to Indian food, you might have to travel to Dublin or cook by yourself. Although there's a food option available on campus, you need to see what suits you the best.

BSc Biotechnology - Batch of 2025

Best university to opt for Biotech with great faculty and staff.
Tips: My experience studying at Maynooth University till now is very good. I was able to gain more confidence and speak better English as compared to my home country. The university is multi-dimensional so I made many new friends from different countries and cultures. No scholarship was provided to me but I'm satisfied with the journey so far.

MSc Data Science and Analytics - Batch of 2020
3.8
Overall Great University
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. There are other towns nearby - Celbridge ,Leixlip where you can also find jobs.

MSc in Business Analytics - Batch of 2023
4.2
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.

MSc Finance - Batch of 2025
3.7
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.
