Focus on your skills before joining.
Tips: Every faculty is well aware of their subjects and are good at teaching. Every faculty is PhD holder and has plenty of experience in teaching in their field. They are good at solving doubts and have a unique way of teaching in their style. You will get an idea from their short notes and examples. It is better to do short courses before coming here.
Likes (Safety): It depends on person to person, where you get accommodation, it is better to stay on the south side of Dublin. An area outside the university is risky to roam around but the university is safe and poses no risk to roam. However, while traveling in north side, be cautious, you might face discrimination from teenagers.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are few jobs available so it's hard to get a job easily and it also applies to full-time; even though you have skills, you might not get a job easily. You need to apply for more than 100 jobs to secure one job also it is not certain that it will be permanent.

Stressful but learning environment.
Tips: Very difficult if you don't have experience. Part time jobs are competitive. College work is stressful for a full time course. I would suggest getting admitted if you get a good amount of scholarship. Try to negotiate for a scholarship. The country is good.
Likes (Public transportation): In cities like Dublin, the bus transport is very frequent. Buses are connected to almost all parts of the city. The Dublin City University has a dedicated bus stop for Dublin Bus. The other bus stops are also at a distance of 200 - 400 meters. There is also a D-ART station nearby.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time jobs are very competitive to get on campus. Also after distributing 150 CVs, I have not received a call. Part time work is manageable with time management and if you start at a good place. The average payout for the part time roles is 14.15 per/hr and may increase if you have prior experience in the same job role.

College is great and staff has good expertise.
Tips: The part time jobs and full time jobs are tough. There are very less job opportunities in Ireland also they don't hire much. For international students the situation is worse. The accommodation and food are expensive; if anyone comes taking loan, the situation will get very hard for them.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is good the buses are on time. The infrastructure is great and the connectivity is also good and the transportation is more frequent, that's why they are less crowded so it's great. The transaction is seamless in buses for tickets.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus part time jobs are limited and highly competitive, so not everyone gets an opportunity immediately. Off campus jobs are also getting tough; most of them are not hiring because of too much supply and there is no demand in the market. Most students didn't get part time in their first 7 to 8 months.

Experienced faculty and a friendly campus.
Tips: Every faculty is well aware of their subjects and good at teaching. Every faculty is a PhD holder and has plenty of experience in teaching in their field. They are good at solving doubts and have a unique way of teaching in their style like you will get an idea from their short notes and examples. I have transitioned from engineering to finance. If you are doing the program, we recommend coming with at least one or two basic courses, then you will get it easier otherwise, you will be in a very difficult position. I completed my graduation in engineering, then got an opportunity to work in finance related company which gave me confidence to succeed in finance. I got a scholarship based on my resume and supporting documents. And I'm satisfied with the decision about this university and this country.
Likes (Value for money): They provide a scholarship based on your case and so if you compare your fee with other universities, it is value for money. Even if you did not get scholarship, there are multiple options like part time or freelancing will cover your tuition fee, so that's why it is value for money.

The faculty is extremely helpful and understanding.
Tips: I didn't face a cultural shift as such as I had done my research beforehand. People are extremely polite here so ensure that you don't disturb them in any way. Scholarships are available that the university provides based on merit. I am truly satisfied with my university, course and country so far.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is extremely helpful and understanding they will help you with any and everything. The teaching style of faculty at its core is more preference given to self study and more on academic and real world examples in class and a lot of self reading. The teaching faculty is diverse and brings varying responses and thoughts to the table.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Things are always changing here, especially with immigration, so that's why I gave it a 3. It's tough to get a permanent residency because it mostly depends on sponsorship. But I'd really love to stay here for good if I could, because I've enjoyed my time here a lot.

My transformative learning journey at DCU.
Tips: Students must know the fact that DCU offers a highly supportive academic environment where all the students should be prepared for a research oriented and fast paced learning.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The lecturers in my department are highly knowledgeable, well skilled and experienced. They ensure a supportive learning environment which combines a positive and inclusive classroom. The most important factor I have noticed about their teaching style is the use of practical real world case studies for discussion rather than just delivering information to the students. Since we have got lecturers from different nationalities and backgrounds, students are getting exposed to global perspectives at a higher level which prepares them professionally and academically.
Dislikes (Value for money): I feel the tuition fee to be relatively higher even though the quality of teaching, resources provided qualities are unmatched. I ensure that quality of the content and staff support are top notch. Additional student support activities can be incorporated on a regular basis.
