MSc Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) - Batch of 2025
3.7
A challenging yet rewarding journey in academics and growth.
Tips: Students should be prepared to manage their time effectively to balance coursework, projects, and extracurricular activities. While UCD has a vibrant campus with numerous societies and events, you may need to actively seek out opportunities to make the most of your experience. Don't hesitate to join clubs or attend events—it's a great way to meet new people. Dublin is an expensive city, and students should budget carefully for accommodation, food, and other expenses. Living on or near campus is convenient but comes at a premium. The university is well-connected with top tech companies, and there are ample career fairs and networking events. Start exploring internships early to maximize these opportunities.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The lecturers and professors in the Computer Science department are highly knowledgeable, well-qualified, and passionate about their subjects. Their expertise, combined with their ability to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, makes the learning experience engaging. However, I feel there is some room for improvement in terms of consistency. While many professors excel in their teaching style, a few could enhance their approach to make complex topics more accessible.
Dislikes (Student Life): While the academic side of UCD is stellar, I feel that student life could be more engaging. Social opportunities exist, but they sometimes feel overshadowed by the intensity of coursework, especially in a demanding programme like Computer Science. Additionally, while there are clubs and events, they can feel a bit disjointed at times, making it challenging to fully immerse oneself in campus culture.

MSc Data & Computational Science - Batch of 2025

University College Dublin is good but the faculty is not very active to teach.
Tips: Students should be preparing well in advance for academics. Since teachers don't make an effort it's self-study from here onwards at least for Masters. The more you learn on your own the better you will be. I am actually satisfied with my university since it's one of the best grade colleges but there can be some changes done to the course structure.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is actually amazing. One can actually chill out in front of Belfield Lake or be totally involved in any sort of society according to their choice. I personally go to draws soc, Harry Potter soc and film soc. I personally enjoy the events and go for free food.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The teachers don't put much effort into teaching. They don't provide an interactive learning environment, and if you ask them a question out of the blue, they just go blank. Also, they don't offer extra classes before exams so you can practice or get help if you need it.

The sports university of Ireland.
Tips: The college is very good. It's a modern college with a strong focus on sports and extracurricular activities. Living on campus is a different experience than living off campus, and I think it's a great experience. The study load is not as hectic as it is in India, and the curriculum is great.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are good and are very friendly and not like some arrogant professors we get in Indian universities. Here the professor feels like they are among the students only. Also, the professors however highly ranked they are, they always behave politely and down to earth.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I rated Indian food as low because there are very few Indian restaurants, and they are located in the city. If you are a vegetarian, your choices are even more limited. Even fast food chains like McDonald's don't sell veggie burgers, and they are always out of stock. If you want to eat Indian food, you'll have to cook it yourself.

Life at University College Dublin is fun and thrilling with intense curriculum.
Tips: UCD is renowned for its academic excellence, particularly in research-oriented fields. The courses are rigorous, with a focus on independent learning. As a student, you will need to manage multiple deadlines for assignments, projects, and exams, so developing time-management skills is crucial. The campus itself is vast and well-equipped, featuring libraries, computer labs, and recreational facilities. Engaging with student societies is highly recommended as it helps in networking and adjusting to the new environment. Dublin's cost of living is high, especially for accommodation, so securing affordable housing early is essential. Additionally, prepare for Ireland's unpredictable weather with appropriate waterproof clothing. Academically, many international students find the self-directed nature of learning and the grading system different from their home countries. Socially, Ireland's friendly and welcoming culture makes it easier to settle in, but it's essential to embrace diversity and build connections. Weather can be a minor adjustment, especially if you come from a warmer climate. Scholarships can significantly ease financial pressure. Some students avail scholarships such as the Global Excellence Scholarship, awarded for academic merit. These scholarships typically offer partial or full tuition coverage but rarely include living expenses. Overall, students are generally satisfied with UCD, their courses, and living in Ireland. The country offers excellent career opportunities post-graduation, especially in the technology and finance sectors, making it a rewarding choice.

UCD provides a perfect blend of academic and social activities.
Tips: Before coming to UCD, it's helpful to review your modules and revise your basic knowledge. For Masters courses, the expectation is that you are familiar with the basics, and the course will start with advanced material. Also, try to connect with people in your course, alumni, and others in your field. There are events held on campus so look out for them and participate in it as it helps in building connections. Overall. I am quite satisfied with my course, college and the country.
