MSc in Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2026

Great place to learn and network.
Tips: Students can know everything from the college website. If students are looking for budget education, then this college is the right place. If they have money, they can prefer universities otherwise, this college is a great place.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Now it is tough to get placed easily. If you have the right skills, you need to try and work hard for the job in semester 1. In 1G, you need to get placed in a good company and try to get the critical skills visa. Then you can apply for stamp 4.

Diverse environment and good learning experience.
Tips: Students should be prepared for independent learning and active participation. Dublin can be expensive, so plan finance well. The environment is diverse and welcoming and adapting to a new culture and academic style may take time. Overall a positive experience.
Dislikes (Internships): Because while there is support from the college, a lot of the responsibility falls on the students to find opportunities themselves. The career services team shares openings and conducts workshops on CV writing and interviews. Some internships are relevant to the course especially in business, computing and data related fields, but securing one depends heavily on individual effort and networking.

Practical learning experiences with room for improvement.
Tips: Before choosing to join NCI, know that it's career-focused, with helpful faculty but limited campus life. I didn't apply for any scholarships, but there are options if you apply early. I'm moderately satisfied with the course, the college, and living in Ireland.

4.7
A Supportive, Diverse, and Career-Focused Learning Experience.
Tips: Look, if you’re actually thinking of coming over, just know it’s a really welcoming spot—especially if you're moving from abroad like I did. My first few weeks were honestly way smoother than I'd expected. There was definitely a bit of a culture shock at first, mostly just getting used to how much they expect you to do on your own and even just the way people talk, but it wasn't nearly as scary as I’d feared. The staff are so helpful and everyone is really chill, so I ended up settling in way faster than I thought I would.
I checked out the scholarship stuff when I was applying and the uni is actually pretty open about how it all works. Obviously, not everyone gets one, but as long as you keep an eye on the dates, it’s easy enough to figure out. I'm just really glad I made the move. The course feels like it’ll actually be useful for a real job, and Ireland itself is great—it feels safe and the vibe is just super inclusive. If you're ready to just dive in, you’ll have a blast.

College has a corporate tie-up for hackathons and events.
Tips: College has a corporate tie-up for hackathons and events - Citi UpStart. Empowering student entrepreneurship in collaboration with Citibank. College hosts corporate hackathons providing opportunity for ppo/internship and also, global hackathon like the NASA Dublin Hacakathon was hosted in NCI.

The college is affordable and worth the money.
Tips: There will be a scholarship available from the college only while applying and paying fees, which will be automatically deducted. Be aware that there will be a cultural difference in terms of food, work, and life balance, and you will need to adjust. I am only barely satisfied with the college.
Likes (Safety): Safety is the most important thing here while studying and also while working. Here, people are more concerned about safety in every industry, and safety comes first in everything. Even in food, they mention allergy things in all health information. In the city, some homeless people are the biggest threat, and there are no rules for teenagers, who can also be a threat.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There will be no Indian food available, and if there is, it is way too expensive. Some Indian stores are practically robbing customers, and Indian restaurants are at the top of this list. They don't taste good at all, and one dinner at an Indian restaurant is about as expensive as all my groceries for a whole month.

The NCI acceptance rate for Indian students is not released but as per an unofficial source, which is around 53%.

No, deferring the course at NCI Ireland means students will also have to forfeit their scholarship. They will need to re-apply and be reassessed for any scholarship for the new intake.
Students are recommended to consult the NCI Admissions Office for their specific scholarship conditions.

Yes, Indian students can pay their tuition fees in installments at NCI Ireland. Use the Direct Debit plan to pay 20% of tuition fees upfront and the rest over the duration of course.
Students need to provide a written request to the NCI Ireland Registrar's Office to use a payment plan.

NCI Ireland initial deposit for Indian students is EUR 6,000 (INR 6.6 Lakhs) to confirm their seat.
Students are advised to check the deposit amount on their admission offer letter as these may vary for some courses. To know more, contact one of our Shiksha Study Abroad counsellors.
