MSc Computer Science - Data Science - Batch of 2024

Great College with great faculty and the transportation is very affordable and flexible.

Tips: Ireland is very welcoming to foreigners. Trinity gave me a great platform to meet new people and connect with the best minds in the world. The curriculum is well-researched and according to the new and upcoming fields in the Information Technology sector. The faculty is understanding so do not hesitate to approach them.

MSc in Business Analytics - Batch of 2024

3.8

Fun, challenging and great learning experience.

Tips: The job market is in a pretty bad shape as of now so decide carefully if you are willing to go through that much amount of pressure and struggle. In addition, finding a part time is quite challenging as well, and have a clear picture in your mind about whether you want to settle abroad or not before going.

Likes (Safety): The country is relatively safe and peaceful. There's public transport that works all time round. And I have been home pretty late at night and it was all safe. Regardless, there are teenagers who caused trouble for a few people I knew but again it all depends on your locality.

Dislikes (Part time work): It was not easy to find a part time job in Dublin. I didn't find one as of now and I am getting rejections for those as well despite having a good CV. I will still apply though until I find one and I will advise you of the same. Go there only if you want to settle down or spend a few years, if you're confused then maybe think about other opportunities.

MSc in Business Analytics - Batch of 2024

3.3

Think twice or even thrice before joining for your good.

Tips: Students should know that there are barely any scholarships when compared to other colleges and quite a few cultural shifts. Get ready for a lot of public speaking and assignments which is a dead scene in India. College does not care about your post-graduation work. Minimum career guidance, everything is self-made and self-done here.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The market is very bad at the moment, with hardly any opportunities. Would not recommend anyone to come here at least at the moment. Sponsorship is another problem that you'll face but one good thing is that you won't need sponsorship for the first 2 years of graduation. Salaries are comparatively low in the US where a just graduation gets on average 100K Dollars but here it is around 27-32K Euros.

(M.Sc/PG Dip.) In Quantum Fields, Strings and Gravity - Batch of 2024

4.5

Excellent College, but the city is expensive.

Tips: Foreign Education differs massively from our Indian Education System. They are very liberal and open-minded towards their curriculum and have exponentially more global exposure. I wasn’t able to obtain any scholarship to study at Trinity but many students in my cohort got scholarships. I’m extremely satisfied with the University and the course, leading to both PhD and Job Opportunities, though Dublin is one of the costliest places to live in but not in the Schengen region.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are extremely nice and open in my department. I’ve never felt out of place asking doubts or getting help from both students and professors in my class. The lectures were organised Mon-Wed to help us have a longer weekend and study better.

Dislikes (Internships): We are encouraged to apply for Internships and support is provided by the college in creating contacts with industry partners via TQA. But being a student from India has made getting Visa to work in other countries very difficult. Most of the students choose to do a PhD after this course though.

Great college to pursue masters.

Tips: A big cultural shift is a lifestyle where we have to do everything at home, including groceries, cleaning, and cooking apart from college and assignments. There are scholarship options provided by different colleges and the government of Ireland in general, have a look at those while applying.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Great faculty at Trinity college dublin, highly qualified and approachable for any issues. Teaching methodology is great but different from how it’s done in India. Teaching here is a lot more research-oriented, need to read a lot of research papers and discuss them in class. Apart from research, there are a lot of individual and group projects on real-life research subjects.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are fairly less opportunities on campus for part time jobs, compared to the number of students/people looking for these jobs. Having said that, it is not impossible to get one, just have to be on the lookout for one when it’s available. - since it’s a one year course, so it’s difficult to manage time for part time along with the course. But could be done once the students are comfortable with the course and lifestyle. - there are ample opportunities off campus, so not much difficult to find a part time job, but just need to be on lookout for one very actively.

Master's at Trinity College Dublin is intense and requires self-learning.

Tips: (1) Students coming from India should be aware that studying in universities abroad requires quite a lot of self-learning. The number of classroom hours dedicated to subjects might be less, hence the onus is on the candidate to grasp the study material. (2) Some courses like one-year master's programs are a bit intensive which makes it difficult to do part-time work alongside studies, so students should have sufficient funds to cover their expenses in these situations.
