Collectible facts about my university
Tips: They should have at least a good amount of experience related to their course so that they can fetch a job. They should know how to handle personal time, part-time time, and academic time because your days will be hectic and you will be stressed all the time if you don’t manage the time properly.
Likes (Safety): Galway is safer during nighttime. Police will help you if you face any security issues. Personally, I didn’t see any racial discrimination or any threats. Even in a pub, you won’t feel any insecurity about threats. Everything here is a process; no bribery or anything works.
Dislikes (Internships): There will be no internships provided for the master's students. You can fetch it based upon your skills from outside. College will guide you for the internship, but they won’t provide it to you. Outside also, it will be difficult to get an internship since the job market is kind of unstable.

Life as a Student in University of Galway
Tips: There's a very big Indian community on campus, which is nice. The transition period is definitely tough. The weather is very different, and it's definitely harder to get some stuff here than it is in India. Probably the biggest culture shift is the emphasis on independence and doing it yourself. There are no services like BlinkIt, no inter-city parcel service, and Uber is expensive. Students are quite reliant on public transport. If you can, definitely buy a cycle! You can get them second-hand for cheaper, quite easily. I didn't avail of any scholarships. The cost of living is high here, so make sure to keep a budget. Irish people are very friendly, so make sure to be friendly back! Making friends with locals is awesome and fun, and they can show you around and help you adjust a bit better than fellow internationals in some ways. Social etiquette is quite big here. Be mindful of not skipping in queues and not taking too many freebies when free stuff is up for grabs in college. Taking too much can be viewed poorly. There are many Asian grocers around so you can get most vegetables and a lot of dry groceries here easily. I love my university and course! It's such a wonderful city to study in. Galway is very much a student city, as a big part of the population is university students. As such, there are always a lot of fun events happening both in the city and on campus. Connections to other Irish cities are good, so you can explore the rest of Ireland with relative ease. My course is extremely busy and quite full-on, so my free time is definitely limited. This isn't the case for other courses, though. I would definitely recommend my university!
Dislikes (Part time work): I gave Part-Time Work a low rating because trying to land a flexible job around Galway is way harder than people expect. On-campus roles exist, but they are ridiculously competitive and almost always go to returning students who hear about openings before the term even starts. As a first-year or new master's student, you're pretty much locked out of those early on. Off-campus, you’re competing with thousands of other students for basic retail or pub shifts down around Shop Street and the Latin Quarter. Even with Ireland's minimum wage sitting at €14.15 an hour now, getting enough consistent hours to cover rent is the real struggle. Plus, if your modules have heavy coursework or lab hours, juggling late weekend shifts in hospitality alongside early morning lectures on campus gets exhausting very quickly.

Studying in Ireland: Opportunities, Challenges, and Growth
Tips: The biggest advice I can give anyone heading to the University of Galway is to sort your finances and accommodation as early as humanly possible. Living costs and rent in Galway have climbed fast, so you need a solid financial buffer. While the university and the city are super welcoming to international students, the job market requires early action. Don't wait until you hand in your final dissertation to start job hunting—build your network, pick up practical certifications, and target working-student roles right from year one.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The low rating comes down to how competitive and slow the hiring process is in Ireland. Having two years on the Stamp 1G visa is great on paper, but plenty of employers still hesitate to hire international students if it involves future visa sponsorship. Landing a solid role that actually matches your qualifications takes months of applications. Since Galway’s job market is smaller compared to Dublin, building a local network from scratch takes serious effort while you're still studying.

NUIG is a good place to start your Career journey.
Tips: Look, moving to Galway for university is great, but housing here is an absolute nightmare right now. Do not wait until you land to figure out accommodation—start hunting on Daft.ie or student Facebook groups months ahead, and broaden your search to places like Terryland, Newcastle, or even commuting in from Oranmore or Athenry, unless you want to spend your first month burning cash in overpriced hostels. On the job side, if you're on a Stamp 2 visa, keep in mind you're capped at 20 hours a week during term time and 40 during holidays, and you'll need to sort out a PPSN with Social Protection pretty quickly so you don't get hit with emergency tax. The best way to land a part-time job is still handing CVs directly into shops and pubs around Eyre Square. Also, learn to cook a few cheap meals before coming over, because eating out around Shop Street eats through a budget ridiculously fast. And finally, show up to lectures, but definitely drop by society events at Áras na Mac Léinn or grab a coffee at the Bialann early on—joining clubs is hands down the easiest way to make actual friends here.

Bittersweet Experiences in Ireland
Tips: For me, my experience has been bittersweet. There are things that make your life hard; loneliness gets you because of the gloomy weather. However, majorly, the people are sweet here. You get rewarded for your intelligence—scholarships are there. I do love this country, but I won't settle down here.
Likes (Value for money): I have heard from my seniors here; they have increased and will keep on gradually increasing tuition fees every year. I do feel it is worth it, but I have seen similar course design at other universities abroad with fewer resources. There are similar courses in Germany and Canada with less tuition fees.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): College has an absolutely vital department called the "Career Development Centre," which posts and helps students with internships and full-time job roles. They help you polish your CV and the skills you need to exhibit while giving an interview. For a fresh graduate role, the package is generally €24,000-30,000. However, obviously, no role is guaranteed.
