MSc (Business Analytics) - Batch of 2025

My college is well and good but living here is too costly.

Tips: Students should be aware of the rent system or accommodation system of Galway as it is quite expensive and sometimes it is so tough to find it. If you are in the August-September intake, it is important to start looking for houses as early as possible. You should book your house in March or April, which is about 4-5 months in advance.

Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easily available because there are lots of stores that hire very easily. The pay is 13.5 euros per month, so you can easily manage your monthly expenses. You can work wherever you want, and you will get your part-time job within 1 month of applying.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The buses run infrequently. If I have an appointment off campus, I have to wait an hour or two for the bus to come. As a result, I have to leave for class early and come home late, which affects my ability to get a part-time job.

Friendly people, good career support, good extra-curricular opportunities.

Tips: The people are friendly and helpful, and there's always something happening on campus. There are many opportunities for extracurricular activities, such as sports, societies, and volunteering. The university provides personalized career support and holds many career fairs and workshops throughout the year. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course. university and the country.

Likes (Safety): The university and city authorities take safety seriously and have measures in place to ensure safety for all genders. I walked around the city freely even late at night. There are also seminars to educate students about safety measures.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university provides career support. They held career workshops and fairs throughout the year to help students prepare for their post-study jobs. These events included CV preparation, mock interviews, and information about the Irish job market. However, the competition for jobs is fierce, so you have to work hard and be patient.

The university is beautiful and provides great facilities.

Tips: I'm just glad that I got admission to this university. The cost of tuition is worth it. The large Indian community here celebrates our festivals, and it's a great opportunity to explore a foreign country. Also, there are a lot of job opportunities here with good salaries. I'm really enjoying my time here.

Likes (Value for money): The campus size and facilities are outstanding, and the library and pods for self-study are great. The career guidance is the best part of this university, and it's worth spending a huge amount of money on education in Ireland.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The education system in India is very different from that in Europe. In India, we are used to being spoon-fed information. But in Europe, it's all about self-study. So it's difficult for Indian students to adjust to the European education system.
