MSc in Marketing - Batch of 2026
4.6
Research thoroughly before joining.
Tips: Know wisely, be prepared, and do not think about figuring out later; always have a backup. I did not avail myself of the scholarships but keep an eye out for those. Transition was smooth, depending on the people you find. Be curious, be gentle, be kind and always treat others with respect.
Likes (Part time work): The average payout is the minimum wage recently; it is pretty straightforward to be honest. UCD has many on-campus opportunities but the competition is tough, so be prepared. Even off-campus is not bad at all. The way to manage your work is to have a talk with your managers so that they know your availability, which will make it a little easier. Honesty is work, so do not take things too seriously but be responsible always. Also you can find work on the next day or maybe in 5 months so that is the luck factor.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Depends on the jobs you can find to sponsor. I always stress two things: your luck and experience so if you find one it is great. Always help everyone, no matter who or what race they are from. Be active, respect the community, and be proud of your hard work.

MSc Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) - Batch of 2023
3.1
Higher fees and numerous modules in CSNL.
Tips: If you have skills, you can join any college and get a good job. This is a safe option and the only one as far as I know, that gives internship modules in the 3rd sem. TCD is more academically oriented. UCD is one of the most expensive options, but the CSNL has a lot of modules.
Likes (Student Life): It offers a lively, supportive and inclusive environment. The library is good, they have cafes, lots of buildings, a huge campus. They arrange cultural fests like Diwali and Halloween. Excellent campus, lots of options to enrol in extracurricular activities like gym, swimming, sports, etc.
Dislikes (Indian Food): 1 veg option may be available in every restaurant, and vegan restaurants are not good. Taste is below average, and the high cost of living. I strongly prefer cooking my own vegetarian meals, but grocery shopping prices have been gradually increasing. Some restaurants offer cheaper takeaway and cash discounts.

Global learning experience at UCD.
Tips: Students should know and get prepared for the independent life cycle, cultural shift and much more, be open and you will adapt. Just give some time to Dublin. I got a full scholarship as my marks were above 95 in 12th grade. I am completely satisfied with UCD and I also have a full-time job now.
Likes (Value for money): Student life is vibrant and balanced. A normal day is lectures, practicals, events and food, spending time with friends; you get to meet students from all over the world. There are countless activities and sports on campus. Something for everyone so be open to everything.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty at UCD is highly approachable and supportive, professors are always open to questions and always challenge us to think out of the box, we have faculty from almost all the nation, the teaching way is a very practical approach. Assignments are also pretty smooth.

A rewarding and globally enriching experience with strong academic and real world exposure.
Tips: International students should be prepared for an independent learning environment, a diverse campus and a high cost of living in Dublin. The transition is smooth though there will be a cultural shift of informal communication, emphasis on critical thinking and a more balanced lifestyle. Overall the experience is very rewarding with strong academic exposure and good career opportunities.
Likes (Internships): UCD provides a lot of on campus activities and they offer a lot of clubs to for students to join and engage themselves in extracurricular activities. There is a range of clubs to join based on everyone's interests. The clubs regularly keep events and activities for the engagement of the students.

It is a really good option for those who want a multidisciplinary experience.
Tips: You will be quite busy due to assignments and exams but if you manage your time properly, you will have a lot of time for yourself. There is a housing crisis going on so start searching for accommodation as soon as possible. Due to current attacks on Indian students, you must be prepared to face some racism also as it is quite common in city centre area.
Likes (Student Life): Student life here at UCD is quite good. I have joined a few clubs like dancing and the international students society which also takes us on several trips. Our college organised several events such as a job fair to help us connect with different companies and their recruiters.
Dislikes (Internships): Getting an internship in my field is difficult even when you have experience. And international student companies usually prefer candidates who don't need sponsorship and are permitted to work full time. Initially, stamp2 people are permitted to work only 20 hours.

Great opportunities and growth.
Tips: I haven’t availed any scholarship. I'm working part time. It's going to be hard but you've got to keep working plus learning even if your economic condition in India is between average and rich. The university work gets really piled up, too much work in too less time.
Likes (Safety): I dont know about living in the city yet I live at university so I feel safe all the time. The campus is huge and you almost get everything on campus you dont have to go anywhere else. But I've been around and buses and all the hot areas have heavy security.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are more Pakistani restaurants than Indian restaurants; moreover, the prices are skyrocketing. Food doesn’t taste as it used to in India. Some places like Andra Bhavan are really good for the taste but the prices aren’t for students its too high.

A demanding but valuable masters at UCD.
Tips: Before joining UCD, students should be prepared for a rigorous and fast-paced academic environment, especially in my course, which involves heavy coursework in quantitative subjects and coding. While scholarships are competitive and based on academic merit. I am very happy with UCD and the quality of education, and the exposure Ireland offers in terms of career opportunities and a welcoming international student culture.
Likes (Part time work): I rated part time work as 5 because there are many opportunities both on campus and off campus. The working hours are generally flexible and manageable. On average, part-time jobs pay around 11-13 euros per hour, which is helpful for covering basic living expenses.
Dislikes (Safety): I rated safety as 2 because there are limited patrols and emergency facilities in some areas of the city, and I have experienced situations where public transport and street felt unsafe after dark. Although I have not faced any major incident personally, I believe better lighting and more police visibility would help students feel more secure.

Very uneconomical as it has poor value for money.
Tips: Be prepared to find jobs on your own; university only helps tailor your resume. You may face racism issues from your professors too. The transition was more difficult than expected. It takes time for you to adjust academically. Support services exist but they are often slow.
Likes (Student Life): On campus facilities are bad. One of the biggest issues is the cost of living. Rent is absolutely on the higher side. The following was my personal experience: I went to a restaurant, where they have a student discount. But later I realised that the food which they were offering was less than a normal meal.
Dislikes (Internships): Low exposure as internship opportunities are not facilitated by the university. Career services provide generic advice but there are no direct placements or internships. Students are expected to find a job on their own and hunt for an internship on their own.

Tips: This college is a prestigious college and has many advantages. It helps you build your character for the outside world and also teaches you a lot of things. The people in the college as well as the professors are really helpful and make you a smart and charming personality. The public transportation here is good but the frequency of buses is quite low. There are delays in transportation often times and therefore you have to manage your travel way in advance. Sometimes the connection buses to the location get cancelled or delayed but it's okay if you are travelling in advance. Good experiences.
Likes (Safety): The people around here are very good and helpful. The security concern is not a big deal because I live on the good side of the town. There are some issues in the city centre but they can be dealt with if necessary precautions are taken. The gardai are helpful and prompt in their response.

A powerful launchpad for driven students.
Tips: UCD is a strong, well respected university with excellent facilities and industry exposure but students should be aware that Ireland has a high cost of living and part time jobs are not guaranteed. The transition was challenging at first, as people are more reserved but it helped me grow in confidence and independence over time. I received a 10000 euro merit based scholarship based on my academic profile. I am very satisfied with UCD, my course and Ireland, as the programme is practical and career oriented and the country offers a safe environment and strong job opportunities.
Likes (Public transportation): UCD is very well connected to the rest of Dublin by multiple bus routes that run frequently throughout the day, making it easy to reach the city centre. Buses are reliable and affordable with a Student Leap card. This covers almost all parts of the city.
Dislikes (Internships): UCD offers good support through career fair, CV help, and employer events. The internships are highly relevant to engineering management and attract top companies. However, competition is high and there is no direct placement system, which makes the student responsible entirely for the job application MS.

Tips: There are a lot of Indian students here so it feels like home. I got an international Student Scholarship of 4500 and I am very much satisfied with the course since the ratio of course fee and the Job salaries is on the higher side. Beware of the visa situation that your course offers.
Likes (Student Life): You have access to a lot of facilities and students from various backgrounds. I generally love going to libraries and the Student Centre which is in the Village. I participate in a lot of society events, ranging from Filmsoc to dramasoc, lawsoc, literary soc, and PolSOC.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): If you are in a course that comes under a critical skill, you will get a job very easily such as in Engineering or medicine. The package range is between 35,000 and 60,000 for freshmen. There are lots of tech and pharma companies in the Dublin tech hub of the EU and you can get a decent job from an associate role to any managerial role depending on your qualifications.

A great learning experience.
Tips: The buses in Dublin frequently face delays including hours of delay, cancellations and route changes that aren't well announced. My university being away from the tram station, the only option to commute is Buses. It takes me 70-80 minutes to travel to university for a distance of 7 km. The faculty are well experienced and have expertise in the subjects they teach, follow academic rules and guide students beyond academics. The teaching methodology, although varying from faculty to faculty, has always been a good experience for me. The faculty are from diverse nationalities, though the majority are Irish. There is no such concept of placement cell here, rather nowhere in Ireland, the jobs post studies have to be found only through my own effort. UCD do have a career support cell, but their help is limited to CV polish or other interview preparation sessions and organizing career fair. The on campus accommodation at university is more costly than off campus, but are very safe.

Tips: There are multiple bus connection college from the city centre and other locations. The students leap card allows you to travel 90 minutes for just 1 which is applicable on bus, DART, and Luas, where in this 90 min duration, you can switch multiple buses or between different modes of public transport. I received a scholarship of 7,500 which was given to me by the university for my profile. I am fairly satisfied with the university course, it provides hands on learning and pushes you out of your comfort zone. The job aspect can be better, where more support can be given to students.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are not many openings for part time on campus and it is challenging to find such jobs and even if you find one, it will require a lot of requirements. Most of such part time will require you to be available on weekdays and there might be high chances of class will be on same time, which will lead to missing out on lectures.

Tips: Learning French would be a great thing as most of my peers speak French and in order to feel included, it would be great to speak the language. Interacting with the professors is a must; this was a cultural shock for me in a way, as in India it was merely the professor who talks and students listen and ask questions if they did not understand a specific content and not question the professors or even disagree with them. I received a merit based scholarship from the school itself.

A rigorous and globally enriching academic experience.
Tips: They have 8 different campuses located in different continents of the world and each specialization is taught in a particular campus so it is a great way to enjoy an international educational experience. If you do the MiM program in the first year you are allowed to take a gap year which enables you to do internships and right after your gap year, you are allowed to do an exchange semester in one of the partner universities of Skema which comprises around 300 options to choose from across the globe. Courses are taught purely in English and language courses are also offered as part of the curriculum. Different sports clubs and various internal associations are available so to network well be a member of as many associations as possible.

At home worldwide and Internationally diverse.
Tips: International adaptability is a key skill. Student life is not just about academics, but networking and communication plays a key role. Take part in all the corporate events conducted by the school as it adds up a lot of value. I have never felt that my university is just a place for academics but actually a place where learning meets fun. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Academics, sports, and extracurricular activities all contribute to a complete student life, and Skema's policies support this well. While academics are a strong asset of Skema, the diversity in sports clubs and associations also adds value. I was also a member of the Skema Student Committee.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty is a mix of international professionals many of whom are employed by major global corporations and come as visiting professors. This provides excellent learning opportunities and networking with these mentors is key.

Securing an internship early is challenging, especially for non-European passport holders.
Tips: Be prepared for racism particularly in Paris if you are from an Asian background. Students with an engineering background will find the concepts easier to grasp. I recommend completing French language courses up to A2/B1 level before coming here.
Likes (Safety): The campus is located in a safe and secure area. It can be accessible by public transport. Find housing in a safe area and avoid individuals acting as housing agents. Many newcomers to France have been victims of housing scams.
Dislikes (Internships): The talent and career department isn't as helpful as other similar business schools. Securing an internship early is challenging especially for non-European passport holders. Finding an internship in a non-teaching field can be difficult without speaking French.

You can also get an early bird scholarship. Work related to the government is a bit slow, so you need to stay on your toes and keep constantly following up.

The university is great and the faculty is experienced and talented.
Tips: Students should learn French to get jobs and prepare the materials for the class assignment. You can get scholarships if you are doing a two-year Master's programme. There are also early bird discounts that are available when you apply for the universities. The early bird is normally available to everyone.
Likes (Quality of faculty): As all the faculty members are the top executives of the company, their teaching is valuable as it is with experience. Most of the teachers have their own way of teaching, some start directly with the assignment or use cases, and some basically start with theory and give you assignments to do.
Dislikes (Internships): For internships, the students are required to speak French to get selected. Internships are available and there are many opportunities but one needs the minimum level of French, B1 level to get the job. The silver lining is that one can apply to other European countries.

A wonderful stepping stone for a brighter future.
Tips: Students should know that there's a lot of work that you have to do even if you go home to complete your assignments. There is no campus placement as such. The university will just guide you for internships but you're on your own. I'm pretty satisfied with the university.
Likes (Student Life): There are a lot of clubs and communities that are there at the campus. They organise various events that you can participate in, which can be both academic as well as social. Most college days you are going to be busy. If you are free explore the city with your friends.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships related to your coursework is very hard in the first year since you're doing a generalised course for the 1st year. I had to find my internship so did my friends so try to find an internship by yourself.

Amazing student life with lots of excitement and experiences.
Tips: The most important thing is language. Students aiming for France for higher studies should learn French. This will help them be it with socializing and getting part time jobs, internships and full time, etc. I availed a scholarship of 3000 and there is one government scholarship that one student from India can attain. Other than that there are college scholarship which depends on the previous marks and all.
Likes (Student Life): The college life was amazing. The campus is in front of the French River. The campus building is small comparatively but being in Paris it was fine. We had different clubs and used to have parties every Thursday. There are international student clubs, clubs for finance and clubs for co-curricular activities.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Well, there are not many Indian food options around the campus and some of them are very expensive so I generally just eat at a fast food chain. I generally prefer cooking myself because it's cost effective and cheaper than eating at the restaurants, that too in Paris which is very expensive for a student.

Good University and a great transportation facilities.
Tips: Students should know that there is huge cultural shift, as French people do a lot of things different than us, one of which is their winner circle is really small. Sometimes you feel more like a colleagues/classmates rather than a friend. I got the excellence scholarship at Skema, I got it just by I had good grades in my Bachelors and a some professional experience. The school is great, the teachers are really helpful and possess great knowledge, you'll get all the tools for your learning, but the only con is if you're a foreigner than its a relatively hard task to land a job because of all the legalities involved.
Likes (Safety): The city is very safe, and they have night buses and people are always ready to help, if they see you in trouble they come to the rescue. The police are always patrolling and are always active. Although there are a few areas where you have to be a little extra cautious.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): As we are not European passport holders, for us to work in Europe we need the company to sponsor us, and that's the cost that very few companies will be willing to take. But a lot of people landed a job it's a matter of time and it tests your patience.

Satisfying international experience and a wonderful university to learn many things.
Tips: You must be at least B1 level in French before you decide to study in France, even though the courses are in English you must know French to get internships and full time offers easily. For international students there are numerous scholarships available (like Eiffel scholarships, etc. ). The deadline for these scholarships ends early, so one must be vigilant to apply for these scholarships before the deadline. I am satisfied with the course and country. The best thing about SKEMA is its international mobility, you can change campuses in different countries very easily.

Skema is a great option only if you are ready to embrace the challenges.
Tips: 1. Cultural shift was definitely there. I suggest students to learn French up to A2 level so that it becomes easy to integrate. 2. You can apply for Skema academic excellence scholarship during your application process. It's 3000 Euro off for 2 year course. 3. I'd say it's satisfactory when it comes to course and university. The country probably not that much, considering the language and cultural barriers.
Likes (Public transportation): You can reach the city centre in 20-30 minutes easily. Options like Train (Line L), Tram, Bus and RER A, and metro 1 are available. Paris has excellent public transportation overall. The connectivity is great and you'd have no problems reaching your place any time of the day. Students get an Imagine R pass for 365 Euros per year with unlimited travel.
Dislikes (Value for money): Considering the ranking and reputation of the college, it is justified to an extent. But when I compare my tuition fees with my friends' colleges it's a bit on the higher side. If you manage to get a scholarship, that'll help a lot and hence you get the value for your money.

Adapting French culture with excellent support from Skema Business school.
Tips: Students should know that there are many cultural differences. The food is different, the French administration is very slow and also there are sometimes ongoing strikes. University helps you with everything from finding accommodation, opening bank accounts, visa issues and everything. I'm happy with my course as it's both practical and theoretical. I got merit based scholarship of 5K Euros. Skema Business School is renowned all over Europe so it's easy to get internship/ jobs.
Likes (Public transportation): Paris has one of the best transport systems in the world. They have transportation 24*7. They have metro, buses, trams and RER which connect suburbs to the city center. The public transport costs 45 per month for the students and adults it will be 78. Also once you get an internship/job you get reimbursement of your metro pass.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many Indian food options available in Paris. Even for someone like me who is vegetarian, there are many options. I prefer cooking myself at home. If someone is vegetarian there are many options available like Greek food, Mexican and Italian foods and also Lebanese kebabs.

Good College Experience: The hub of learning & growth
Tips: Before joining the college, students should be clear about the institution's culture, academic programs, career opportunities, and resources as well. The University comes in top ranking colleges, and the quality of education & campus life are good here. One thing I'll recommend to any student who is planning to study here is before arriving, you just learn their native language at least A2 level, it'll be a huge plus point for you. About the scholarship, I didn't find it more beneficial for me, than this campus-university. But the education quality is very digitalised in Skema- Sophia Campus. This area comes in the southern part of France. Here are many beautiful things like arts & museum, zoo park and a helpful culture. About transportation, here you'll find buses and trains, which connect from city to city. Bus services exist here in a modern way and are very helpful for international students and other people.

Not value for money but the course and faculty members are good.
Tips: There has been a huge transformation since I joined and got to know more and more diverse group work etc. I was not offered any scholarship nor I was offered any allowance. The satisfaction is neutral I was not impressed or satisfied nor was I upset.
Likes (Quality of faculty): It is easy to approach the faculty members. They made the most effort to make us feel more welcomed and we were very impressed. The methodology was different and good. Highly diverse campus even though there were many Indians too, many other country students were also there.
Dislikes (Value for money): The college is in no way value for money as it's too expensive. The courses might be good but not effective. I was expecting more and more but it was not as I thought it would be. The fees was too high compared to other colleges which offered similar courses for a lesser price with the same options.

A Top Pre-experience Finance Program
Tips: Living and studying in Paris is an exquisite experience, and changes your outlook greatly. You get to mingle with people from diverse backgrounds and be comfortable with all the hardships a student life brings. There are multiple scholarships to avail, such as the Eiffel scholarship, plus your school might have scholarships for its students.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty of my programme was absolutely top-notch. These are people with PHDs, as well as long years of practical work experience in the most celebrated, big names of the financial industry. There is a lot to learn from them, in terms of both academics and industry experience.
Dislikes (Part time work): I was part of the 1 year M.Sc. Financial Markets and Investment programme. This is one the most elite finance programs in Europe, and while you are pursuing it, you will hardly get any time for part time jobs. Taking up a part-time job will have severe consequences on your studies, as the course is quite intensive, with 2-3, 3-hour classes on most days, apart from assignments, and exams. You would most certainly have other household chores as well, leaving you with little time. Anyway, finding a part-time job in Paris is not easy, especially if you don't speak French.

Highly professional and career oriented.
Tips: Well, it's important to have the basic French language understanding in order to have smooth running of your day to day activities. Understanding French etiquettes is also important but you can learn that as you start living there. I got a scholarship from Diplomeo of 700 euros. The course was very intense but one of the flagship course that the School had in their offerings. It was more practical which enables us to apply the topics studied in the real world. The country is rich in its culture and I enjoyed every bit of it. From the people, the places and the artistic living, the etiquettes, it was all worth it !

Good college. Academically oriented.
Tips: You should have a good command of French language for securing your internship or job. Professors are good and are really willing to teach you even beyond the books and classroom. There is no cultural shift. And I did not get any scholarship. University is good, but sometimes it becomes difficult for international students to secure a job without knowing French.
Likes (Safety): Safety is good in Lille. Nobody is going to bother you in terms of safety. It's a very safe place to stay for education and otherwise. People are really helpful and good and nobody is bothered about what you are doing. You will find a lot of other students as well in the city.
Dislikes (Internships): You have to find the internships on your own. The school is only going to guide you and there is no surety that you will have an internship on completion. You will have to manage on your own for an internship and in France it's difficult if you are not able to speak French.

Academics is fine, but you have to look out for yourself regarding your job and your future life.
Tips: Students planning to come here should learn French. You can follow any culture here, with no issues. I got no scholarship. Teaching is okay, but there are less practical aspects and knowledge plus finding a job is difficult without French. The teaching sometimes feels that there is only bookish knowledge.
Likes (Safety): Lille is a very good city to live and roam around. There are no safety concerns if you are well behaved. There is no gender discrimination or anything, everybody on the campus speaks English. The people in the city are also helpful and will not bother you much.
Dislikes (Part time work): As an international student, if you don't know French, it's difficult to find a part-time job. Very difficult to manage with the course, as the class timings are not fixed. They change it very frequently, so it's difficult to manage plus it would be really hectic. The payout will be something around 12 Euros/hour.
