MSc in Marketing - Batch of 2024

Offered by University College Dublin

3.8

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.

MSc in Human Resource Management - Batch of 2025

4.2

University College Dublin has very friendly, highly qualified and diverse faculty.

Tips: Before joining students should analyze the growth opportunities and know whether the college is providing scholarships for the courses they are applying for. They should also know which campus they will be attending, and the connectivity of the routes, and should research the faculty.

Likes (Indian Food): Rating 5 on food options from my country of origin as it might reflect a deep appreciation for the variety, flavour and cultural significance of the cuisine here. The possible reasoning is that the diverse flavour, cultural connection, and availability of options all make the difference.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is really high compared to the quality of education, the resources provided, and the outcomes achieved, including employability and career advancement. On the other hand, if the course lacks depth, practical application, or clear career benefits, it may not justify the high fees.

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.

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.

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.
