University College Dublin has a well connected campus and great friendly atmosphere.

Tips: Before coming to Ireland, students need to be prepared for a significant culture change, not just in their lifestyle but also in their studies. The pace of study in Ireland is much faster than what students are accustomed to, especially in India. Students will need to learn new material quickly while also completing assignments and working part-time. The public transportation system at Imperial College London is good. The campus is well connected with the rest of the city, and buses and tubes are the most commonly used modes of transportation. There are also cycling lanes and ride-hailing services available. The oyster and contactless payment systems make it very convenient to get around.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration options are limited. You can get permanent residency if you can land a critical skills job, which allows you to stay in Ireland. If you are a student, you start with a stamp 2g visa and then get a stamp 4 visa if you can find a critical skills job.

The quality of education is great with new approach of classrooms.

Tips: Before coming to Ireland, students need to be prepared for a significant culture change, not just in their lifestyle but also in their studies. The pace of study in Ireland is much faster than what students are accustomed to, especially in India. Students will need to learn new material quickly while also completing assignments and working part-time. The quality of life at University College Dublin is very good. You will learn about other cultures and how to balance part-time work and studies while handling household chores and assignments. You will also learn a research-based approach that is missing in major universities in India. The faculty is very different from what you have seen in India, and they give you a lot of attention during your time here.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many companies offer post-study visa sponsorship in Ireland. The salary packages are competitive, and you can enjoy perks such as bonuses and extra time off. For a law graduate, the starting salary is typically around 50,000.

MSc in Sustainable Supply Chain Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by University College Dublin

UCD is very reputed in Ireland, and I value the place it holds here.

Tips: Only if you are ready to face challenges please take up this option. The first semester would be tough since you are going through many changes. Lectures are pretty long, I advise everyone to participate in class discussions. You tend to learn a lot then. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course and the country.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Ireland is a country that is not as well-known as others, but it is becoming more popular. Ireland is part of the EU, which makes the immigration process easier. I haven't done a lot of research, but people say that it is relatively easy to immigrate to Ireland.

Dislikes (Part time work): I didn't find many on-campus part-time jobs, but there are more off-campus opportunities in Dublin. Balancing academics and part-time work can be tiring, so I suggest you take a less tiring job so you have enough energy to focus on your studies. The maximum hourly wage is 14 euros.

University College Dublin does not provide us with any internship.

Tips: The opportunity in Ireland to explore a different country and culture has been a wonderful experience. You understand and are more open to adapting cultures. I did not avail myself of any scholarships, but I can say that you might find better courses in India at a more affordable price. The student life was amazing. We only have 1 lecture a day for 3-4 days a week. I especially liked the opportunities to meet and work with people from other regions during group projects. The university has events across the year, including special Indian society events that celebrate Indian festivals. In addition, there are development courses and career guidance assistance available on campus.

Dislikes (Internships): There is no support from the university to help students find internships. In my experience, it is not easy to get an internship during college. However, you can look for internships, and you might get an unpaid internship after graduation.

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.
