Honestly, if you're coming here primarily for work and settling down, DBS is the best option.
Tips: Managing study and job makes you a really responsible person. Irish people are really good and they respect all cultures, and Christmas is fun here. I received a 1,000-euro scholarship from DBS. I completed an MBA in Finance, it's really good but just an MBA is not enough, you need to do extra courses like ACCA, CFA, QFA to get sponsorship, all the expenses are covered by employers if you are hired or you need to spend by yourself.
Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is very good as there are many routes to travel to college, a free cycle for 30 min within the city centre and 1 euro to travel anywhere inside Dublin. Luas Bus, Trams and Government Cycle are very affordable as over here you need to travel for jobs and college.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a few companies that give sponsorship and mainly financial, credit, risk analyst and accountant, so just a Master's is not enough here to enter the job market one needs to be able to learn more skills to get sponsorship as critical skills include ACCA AND CFA.

A practical and student friendly learning experience.
Tips: DBS really focuses on hands on learning so you're expected to be good at presentations, group projects and doing your own research. I had an easy time settling in even though the teaching was more independent than I was used to. Plus, I got a scholarship. I'm happy with the university, the course, and Ireland because of the good support, job opportunities and how safe it is. Dublin is generally safe and student friendly and I feel secure travelling in and around the city. Apart from campus security, safety is ensured through well-lit street lights, CCTV, reliable public transport, emergency services and Garda presence.

High quality of education.
Tips: I am happy to choose Ireland and experience cultural differences. People are really nice and helpful. I got a scholarship of 1Lakh. Satisfaction with college. I am quite happy with DBS, because the fees are low and gets good quality of education.
Likes (Part time work): There are moderate level on-campus jobs like IT support and librarians. We need to find it through Indeed and LinkedIn. It is quite manageable. As students need to do only 20 minutes/week part time job and I have 3 days of college with a variable of 1 to 3 lectures per day. The good thing is college is providing workshops for getting part time jobs and full time job. This workshop includes how to present ourselves in front of HR. Even my college has a LinkedIn page where mentors are continuously posting about vacancies. Seniors are friendly to help with searching. Average payout for the part-time - minimum is 13.5 euros/ hr and max is 15 or 16 euros/hr, depending on job requirement.
Dislikes (Internships): I would say many students go for part time job opportunities rather than internships. Because compare to part time getting an internship is hard. As a part of the business school my academic year is going really productive, we are getting guidance from DBS Career Hub.

A supportive and diverse learning environment experience at DBS.
Tips: The transition was smooth but challenging at first. There was a noticeable cultural shift, especially in communication style classroom interaction. I received a 1000 euros scholarship. I am fully satisfied with everything. People are more informal and value punctuality and personal space. Over time, interacting with classmates from different backgrounds and participating in group work helped a lot. The supportive environment made it easier to adapt.

DBS is good for those who have 5 plus years of experience in India.
Tips: For students who have 5 plus years of experience in India and are planning to join this college, it will be a good tag to be added to a CV for the education section. For Finance and Accounting students, start preparing to take the ACCA or ACA exams in India itself. If students do not have these certifications, then the company will not consider hiring them further. I got a 1000 euros scholarship, as every student gets one in general. Students are going to get an international exposure in Ireland. I am satisfied with my course curriculum and teaching faculty. Nowadays, the number of international students has increased drastically in Ireland, so it has become more challenging to secure a job here.
Likes (Indian Food): A lot of Indian and Pakistani restaurants are available. Sometimes I eat outside. In this busy schedule, it is very hard to manage to cook for myself at home. Mostly, preparing meals on the weekends. Also, in Dublin city, Indian tiffins provide a tiffin service to those who are struggling to prep a meal.
Dislikes (Internships): College is not a source for internships; they can only provide a list of available jobs, as per LinkedIn. Don't rely on the college; students will need to make new connections through LinkedIn or by attending workshops here. There are a lot of graduate roles in the specific field of study that will help the students to gain Irish experience, or to be included in their resume.

Easy going and budget friendly campus.
Tips: I've experienced a cultural shift since coming here. I'm from southern India, and the culture here is entirely different. But it's not a problem; we can enjoy it. I didn't receive any scholarships so far. I love my university and course; it's very easy to study and acquire a Master's degree within one year.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is located within Dublin City, but some buildings are relatively far apart. We can use buses, trains, and Luas services for transportation, which are all affordable and convenient. However, buses often get stuck in traffic during the winter.
Dislikes (Part time work): In my experience, on-campus part-time jobs are very rare. Off-campus part-time opportunities are available, but they are difficult to find. It is manageable to balance part-time work and academics. I earned 13.5 euros per hour and worked 20 hours a week.

Yes, it is generally a suggestion to the Indian students to apply early for the January and April Intakes. It is because a lot of time is required to apply for the Irish student visa which is quite time-consuming.

Yes, students can change their course in the first two weeks of the course commencement at DBS or before classes start. However, any request for a change of course mid-stage through an academic year or 2 weeks after the start date won't be entertained.
