MSc in Data Analytics - Batch of 2025

Offered by National College of Ireland

4.6

The faculty at NCI is highly knowledgeable, experienced and supportive.

Tips: The cold and rainy weather was an adjustment especially coming from India. Managing studies, part-time jobs and personal life required good time management. I got a metrics-based scholarship of 4000 euros from NCI. The Data Analytics course is solid, covering Python, SQL, and Power BI. The practical approach is helpful. The faculty at NCI is highly knowledgeable, experienced and supportive. The faculty is quite accessible and responsible. They are available during office hours and actively engaging. Most modules include real-world projects and case studies instead of exams. The faculty is quite diverse with professors from Ireland, India, and other European Countries. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Internships): My college always posts all the graduate jobs that are available in the newsletter every week. They also conduct career sessions on how to apply for and land a graduate job. There are many internships relevant to my field of study, but getting an internship is very difficult.

A journey of learning, adaptation and opportunities.

Tips: Be prepared for self-learning, as finding a job and adjusting to living independently will take a lot of work. NCI offers international students academic merit-based scholarships, which is a big help. NCI offers academic merit based on scholarships for international students. On campus, part-time roles are mostly as lab assistants, library assistants, or student ambassadors. Most students can secure one of these positions during their second semester or later. Many other students find part-time jobs off-campus in retail, hospitality, warehousing, and delivery services. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Internships): While internships are available at the National College of Ireland, they are very limited and only targeted towards Bachelors students, not Masters students. Most internship opportunities are for candidates with less than one year of experience, making it difficult for students with prior work experience to secure one. Additionally, there is minimal structured guidance from the college when it comes to finding or applying for internships. Students are mostly required to search for opportunities on their own through job portals and networking.

National College Of Ireland does not provide internship.

Tips: The post-grad courses at the National College of Ireland are mostly filled by Indians, and all the technical courses comprise Indian students. They offer value-for-money courses that are relatively cheaper than other premium colleges like Trinity or UCD. They tend to offer scholarships based on your academic score and profile, and the teachers are really good.

Likes (Safety): There have been growing incidents recently in Dublin city centre about mugging and teenager misconduct but otherwise, it is very safe and people are warm and friendly. The area where the campus is located is not one of the best and there have been reports of teenagers causing ruckus.

Dislikes (Internships): The college doesn't really provide any internship opportunities and neither they have enough opportunities for students to approach companies for internships. The responsibility falls on students to look out for internships. However, the college has a placement department that helps with CV preparation and reviews but your best shot is through LinkedIn or networking.

MSc in Cybersecurity - Batch of 2024

Offered by National College of Ireland

4.2

Amazing infrastructure, knowledgeable and industry-experienced professors.

Tips: The major objective here is to teach based on practical knowledge rather than just theory. The college encourages students to think practically to help prepare them for the real world. If someone has poor time management, things could feel a bit rushed and stressful. If you can manage your time efficiently, this won't be a problem. You will probably enjoy the pace of the classes. There are also scholarships available based on past academic performance, so it pays to have good grades. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many Indian restaurants are available, and the handful that are in town may not be what you expect. The options are reasonable based on your budget and experience. If it's not possible to get delivery from a restaurant, I often cook myself. This is convenient, and a big way to save money while studying. I do, however, eat out from time to time to save myself the effort of cooking. Many ready-to-eat meals are also available in stores, which are easy and fast to cook.

The faculty is great, approachable and always ready to help.

Tips: Life is not easy when it comes to a new country. It is fast-paced. Surely it takes some time so allow it. Bring some basic utensils from India like a pressure cooker as it is important. The weather here is rainy and windy so do bring proper jackets and coats. Try to bring some snacks and spices from India as they are costly. Try taking accommodation away from college as it is very costly around that area. A few good areas to find accommodation are - Hansfield, Clonsilla, Coalmine Adamstown etc. Be mentally prepared before you come as life will not be that easy here.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is good as they guide you through the issue. You can approach them for any doubts or issues. Attendance is not mandatory in college but try to attend lectures whenever possible. Teachers tend to hive information and details of important topics and subjects concerning exams and assignments. Try to finish work in a dedicated time frame.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many authentic Indian-origin restaurants are available. Food is also made based on Irish preferences, however, you will find some good but it is expensive. It will be difficult if you are a vegetarian it is more costly than non-veg and mostly accessible in Indian stores. Frozen food culture is here so you will find lots of variety for food.
