MSc Information Systems - Batch of 2026

One of the best research oriented universities in EU.
Tips: Students should be aware of the content of the course and the job opportunities in the EU post studying the course. The fee is high compared to the colleges in Ireland, but scholarships like the Global Excellence Scholarship and institutional fee waiver are available for international students from India.
Likes (Value for money): The course is of the best quality and aligns with the career path post study. The university offers many facilities including such as a free gym and accommodation support. The campus is very large and it is situated in a place with 24hrs bus connectivity to Dublin city.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job roles in Ireland are in decline. UCD doesn't provide placement drives, but it holds a career fair for graduate roles where mostly EU residents are selected and not so good for students with prior experience. Even though the course offers career oriented learning, the lack of direct placement is often a drawback.

Good environment and good experience.
Tips: Communication plays a vital role here. The ability to adapt to the weather and food blending with the people from different backgrounds. There is no scholarship for my course. I'm satisfied with the syllabus but felt the teaching is fast as it is a one year course.
Likes (Student Life): International exposure and campus life are good. There are so many clubs in the college that conduct events regularly which allow students to get exposure and learn from peers. Mostly my time would be spent in classes and projects and the frequency of attending club events is rare for me since I'm occupied with academic work.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many companies across different sectors offer employment sponsorship. Referral works here to enter the industry. Not sure for the freshers. People with a minimum of two years of relatively experience can break into graduation roles before graduation. Getting an internship is also great for breaking into the sector.

It was an average experience.
Tips: There are some cultural differences. I was basically not very satisfied with the country and everything. I think going abroad to study is quite a boring job and I will move back to my country and live with my family, that's the best feeling for me. I will stay here for 2 years and then start applying in India and move back. I want my mental status to be much better. For me, money doesn't matter; mental status matters and with my family, I will get that rest I know with my experience combined, I can easily earn 1 Lacs in India per month and I am very happy with that.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport, unless you're a student, it's good with comfortable seating but when your student card is gone, it's a bit expensive. But the seating is very good. The problem is that the bus is not full 24 hours. If you're doing night shift, then it's very hard to commute.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have finished my course and am still applying for a job and I don't think I will get a sponsorship. It's very hard to find a sponsorship job unless you have 3-4 years of experience. I would say now it is very hard to even find a part-time job.

MSc in Marketing and Retail Innovation - Batch of 2025
Offered by University College Dublin
3.9
I liked my course a lot and I would recommend it to people looking to pursue marketing.
Tips: No scholarships for me in UCD but I got scholarships in UCC, University of Galway and Maynooth. It takes time to get a full time job, you need to have patience and perseverance to get 1 and it’s better to come with some corporate experience minimum of 2 years, to be able to get a job.
Likes (Part time work): There are loads of part time opportunities, you just need to keep trying by making different CV’s. It is not very difficult to manage as you don’t have college every day as a master's student and you are just allowed to work 20 hours weekly. The average payout is about 13.5 euros per hour.
Dislikes (Internships): There’s guidance available everywhere but you have to work very hard to get an internship. It’s not a piece of cake. If you get an internship then it is obviously related to the field of study or something you are interested in otherwise why would you apply for it.

A vibrant learning experience at UCD.
Tips: The transition was smooth, people in Ireland are friendly, well, some are. The main and most important thing here is the weather, which is not suitable at all, it rains anytime, it's sunny sometimes, and it gets really cold at times. I didn't get any scholarship, but people do get it. It depends on their background and experience, and the course they are pursuing as well. To be honest, the Belfield campus is the best.
Likes (Public transportation): There are 3 modes of transport D-ART bus, and Luas. Every part is connected, but there is a lot of walking everywhere, and the buses are quite delayed as well sometimes. The transport is convenient and affordable if you have a Leap Card with you, it's 1 euro for 90 minutes for any travel.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are all the types of restaurants nearby, I stay in Dublin 1 in a student accommodation, there's Thai, Asian, Italian and mainly local bars where you can get a good pizza and a pint. 100 percent it's cooking your own food as it gets really expensive eating out, on average it's 20 euros per person to go and eat something outside.
