Tips: The culture shift is huge in terms of work culture, but it's quite easygoing with a lot of self-development time. The university provides scholarships based on individual academic performance, and I received one based on my class 10 and 12 performance, as well as my bachelor's degree.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement in Ireland is an easy option, as it takes just 5-6 years to get permanent residency. Although I haven't given any thought to permanent immigration, it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay here for 5-1...

Tips: The course was quite stressful and didn't have a lot of options including some hidden conditions such as only qualifying for your full master's degree on scoring a 60 above on average. The course isn't designed for fresh graduates. You are in a much better position if you approach this after at least 5 years of experience.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were pretty approachable but there are a few who weren't. Overall staff were pretty accessible. But most of them do not entertain or support questions / provide sup...

Tips: First of all, I don't know how to do cooking. I have managed to do it somehow and yes, we have to manage a lot of things on our own. We can get a normal University scholarship here. I am satisfied with the learnings from people belong to different backgrounds. Course's syllabus is industry relevant. There are so many things which we learn when we move abroad. I personally got to learn so many things about food and culture in Ireland.

Likes (Student Life): It depends on the which day of the week and when does the class begins. I typically start my day going to college library and then to classes. There are lots of cultural events being organised in the college, as well as in the city. In the month of September, there is a cultural night and also every year in Cork city, there is a Jazz festival wherein all the music artists come. If we talk about clubs and communities, lots of clubs and students from different nationalities are a part of them incl...

Tips: I would highly recommend gaining work experience before coming to this country. There was a cultural shift when I landed here but now, we are getting used to it. I got a scholarship of 1000 Euros because of the grades and Work Experience that I had. I'm very satisfied with the overall experience.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): The process is simple if we have landed in a Job and if we work for 4-6 years. It then becomes sure that we will be getting the PR easily in Ireland. I would like to be the president of this country, gi...

Tips: Before joining, students should know that the college offers a supportive learning environment but requires time management due to the academic workload. I experienced a cultural shift, especially adjusting to diverse perspectives and independent living but the transition was smooth. Student life is great as it offers a great balance of academics and fun. My day is filled with classes, group work, and time spent with friends. I enjoy the sense of community the most. The campus hosts various even...

Tips: There were many Indians in my course, so I didn't feel much of a cultural shift. I received a basic scholarship from my college of around 2000 Euros which every student will get but didn't get the full scholarship that I expected. Additionally, the college doesn't provide placements, so I had to look for one off-campus. Overall, I'm not completely satisfied with my experience at UCC.

Likes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook for myself, and there was an Asian shop near my home where I could buy lentils and other ingredie...

Likes (Permanent Immigration): You can avail the citizenship in 5 years after being a regular taxpayer and it depends if I want to avail that opportunity as I am here for 3 years and 2 years doing the job. It also depends on the company ...

Tips: University doesn't help at all in internships or jobs. You have to study yourself as there is little guidance from the teacher and sometimes they also don't have any knowledge of the subject, just reading the slides and explaining it to us. We can also do that sitting at our home.

Tips: Please arrange for accommodation before arriving. If you cannot, please book student accommodation or a hostel for your initial few days so that you don't struggle for shelter. People in Ireland and at UCC in particular are very friendly and I would recommend interacting with locals. As in every other country, locals will respect you more if you do not impose your culture on them but rather share and learn the local culture too.

Tips: I really like UCC as an university there are a lot of social events organised by UCC and there a lot of sports which you can try. The library is really nice.

Tips: Significant cultural shifts, methods of studying and assignments vary a lot from the Indian system. Internships and Job opportunities and even part-time work are challenging to obtain especially for non-European nationals. The course is redundant and repetitive.

Likes (Safety): The city and campus are safe both during the day and night, with no major incidents taking place. The general population is accepting with no serious discrimination taking place. Streets are safe to walk in at night, and the Garda (Polic...

Tips: The university is average, facilities are good. The course is generic, won't help with job preparation. Life is not that fast-paced here, job opportunities are fewer, housing crisis is true in Dublin and Cork. The job market is not fresher-friendly.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): It's easy to get PR here compared to the US / Canada. You just need to work for 2 years on a Critical skills permit job to get Stamp 4 (PR) here. Citizenship is the next step, it's achievable. But it is a choice of do you really want to settle here as...
