Master of Science in Data Analytics - Batch of 2027

3.5

Well-located college with strong academics, smooth transition, and solid academic experience.

Tips: Don't expect a job on completion of the course because the job market is very volatile. Try to get experience in your relevant field before coming. Employers prefer EU candidates because of visa sponsorship. As per the 2025 salary thresholds, they have been changed, so it's very hard to find jobs.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): As a postgraduate student in Dublin finding an internship opportunity is quite challenging. The college provides very limited guidance or structured support for identifying and applying for internships. Many internships are targeted towards undergraduate or full time Bachelors students and a few are aligned with postgraduate programs. As a result students struggle to gain practical industry exposure alongside their studies. But if you gain some work experience the average salary is pretty decent and also the quality of life is good. So if you find a job then it would be an awesome place to settle.

Dislikes (Indian Food): As I'm from India, we basically love spicy foods and it's hard to find indian spicy food in Ireland and even if we find it's costlier so I miss Indian food a lot. You can eat outside if you are okay with spending money lavishly but if you're on a budget then eating out would be a problem for you.

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.

Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2026

A practical and industry focused AI learning experience in Ireland.

Tips: Students should know that Dublin Business School focuses on practical, industry oriented learning, especially for the M.Sc. in AI. There is no written exam. While there is project work, which is evaluated and a score is given. It helps a lot in a better understanding of technology. Transitioning was smooth academically. I received a merit based tuition fee education, so always ask for a scholarship scheme if you are meritorious. I am satisfied with my course, supportive faculty and Ireland's welcoming environment and career opportunities.
