A really fun, supportive and understanding place to be in.
Tips: It's a lot of work. It would be better if students try to get an overview of the coursework. Do not think that you are gonna get the job the month after finishing college, it takes time so be ready and patient. Build LinkedIn connections and start reaching out to them, ask them if they can refer you and keep the connection. When you can start applying, you'll have a set of connections and you'll have a higher chance of getting a job.
Likes (Value for money): The university is really good. The professors take their job very seriously and the assignments are not too theoretical it's more practical, you could use those assignments as a topic during interviews and the university itself is very beautiful and really big.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Finance as a domain has a lot of scope in Ireland. There are a lot of job opportunities in Edge funds, private Equity and Quantitative finance. However it's important that you have some experience before Master's for you to get a job. It's really hard to get a job as a fresher and it does take a lot of time for the application process so expect to have patience.

Internships were not part of my course.
Tips: The education method is different. Nothing here is spoon feeding. Always prepare before classes. I did not get any scholarship even though I applied for it. Nobody really received it this year. I'm satisfied enough, but I could've been happier if I were not antisocial.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Very approachable and friendly faculty. Different teaching method from India. Updated modules/ subjects. They don't ask you to take notes for everything. Everything is up to us. Come to class or not. But they are very friendly. We could ask them anything, they are very helpful.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships were not part of my course. It was not mandatory to do an internship during the course. But I did remote internships without pay related to my field, Data science. However, that was of no use. Getting paid internships is difficult. There are other courses in University, where internships are part of the course.

Good academics and college life.
Tips: You'll get fit in very quickly if you are inclusive of different people and their ideas and scholarships are available but are mainly given to students with good work experience and SOP. Also give good consideration to choosing the right counsellor and applying early helps too.
Likes (Student Life): Commuting to attending college classes, cooking and doing assignments and group activities will take a major portion of your time. The quality of students you have here and the professors you get. Also the college life is great, you have your own college pub and bar, lots of fun activities and clubs, it's exactly how we see in movies but you're actually living it.
Dislikes (Part time work): Since it's a small countryside and Maynooth is a student town, there is a huge competition for part time roles. Also commuting to Dublin for part time is not feasible as the journey takes around an hour or more. The average hourly pay here in Ireland for the year 2026 is 13.5/hr and you can do up to 20 hours a week while your college classes are going on, you can work extra hours during December or during semester break.

MSc Business Management - Batch of 2025

The campus is quite student friendly and safe.
Tips: I will suggest that students learn how to search for the best articles online, which will help students during assignment time. Learn more about academic writing, as it helps a lot with assignments. Try to be friendly with everyone, as it will help you to be a good student. The faculty is extremely understanding and will assist you with your projects.
Likes (Safety): The management of the university ensures the safety of both students and the campus itself. The management regularly conducts fire drills, and they take student safety seriously by making sure all their security practices align with those of the local police department.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food at Maynooth is expensive. There are a few places on campus that offer a wide selection of foods, including pizza, Indian, sandwiches, etc. , but they can be price. Plus, the food is on the greasy side, which isn't everyone preference. It's definitely cheaper to eat off-campus.

Friendly and supportive university.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should check out the accommodation first, as the University is located on the outskirts of the city. They should also keep in mind the weather here, so they should have appropriate clothing later on. Work on yourself, as everything you will be doing by yourself, so have proper time management.

Highly qualified faculty and welcoming peers.
Tips: The college is good and friendly. There are lots of events you can participate in many clubs and societies you can join. There is also free food and things that the college gives. Events are really nice and have good atmosphere. Public transportation in Ireland is super friendly, accessible and convenient. I spend around 70 euros. The university has good reputation for education. This is the best one in Ireland and I'd really recommend it.
