High competition, good for medicine/nursing
Tips: Living cost is high, so calculate before considering study abroad. Scholarships opportunities moderate to low, cultural shift is likely to occur during the course, overall satisfied with the university but to land a job is what gets tricky here to be honest.
Likes (Internships): Great weather, great support, lots of extracurricular activities and sports, great environment to study with best in class library, great people all around to share good time for while learning, or even through your daily chores while striving abroad.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Great campus, great professors, great faculty, project based study, lots of assignments, stiff competition, diverse teaching faculty who supports you throughout the course of study, mark you all over based on broad spectrum of skills and expertise that you may have in different aspects.

A Life Changing and Transformative Global Journey.
Tips: Moving from India completely changed my life dynamics, bringing a totally new, highly independent and deeply enriching life experience. I was fortunate to receive the DCU Academic Excellence Scholarship, which provided 6,000 Euros deduction from my total tuition fees based on my academic merit. Before joining, students should prepare for a practical, assignment heavy academic structure that heavily values independent research over rote memorization. Despite the adjustments, I am very much satisfied with the university, my course structure and life in Ireland as a whole.
Likes (Public transportation): DCU is well-connected to the rest of the city, with numerous Dublin bus routes running directly outside the campus gates. For students, commuting is highly convenient and very affordable thanks to the Student Leap Card facility. The frequent bus schedules ensure a reliable and safe journey to anywhere at almost any time.
Dislikes (Internships): Although there is some career guidance and CV preparation offered at DCU, it is very difficult to get a placement because there is a lot of competition, and students have to go out on their own to find one. It is for this reason that it is so hard to find an internship.

A Welcoming Place to Grow Independently.
Tips: DCU is research-focused with practical, project-based learning and a welcoming campus. Dublin living costs are high, but public transport is affordable. *Transition & cultural shift:* Teaching is self-directed with discussions and group work. Irish culture is inclusive and direct. The biggest shift was adapting to colder weather and managing independence like housing and budgeting. *Scholarships:* I applied through admission and was automatically considered. DCU offers merit scholarships from €1,100 to €6,100 for international students by faculty. The Government of Ireland Scholarship also offers full tuition + a €10,000 stipend for a Master's. You can receive only one.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I rated *4 on quality of faculty* because they are knowledgeable, industry-experienced, and explain concepts clearly with updated content. Faculty are very *accessible* with regular office hours, quick response, and openness to 1:1 mentorship. The *teaching methodology* is unique due to project-based learning, case studies, and flipped classrooms focused on live industry problems rather than only lectures. *Diversity* is moderate. The lecturers are a solid blend of local Irish academics and international staff, many of whom come straight out of industry. You get a good mix of real-world experience and theoretical knowledge in class, though having even more full-time international professors would definitely give the modules a broader global edge.
Dislikes (Value for money): My course fee sits in the middle. The faculty and curriculum match global standards, which justifies part of the cost. But ROI, scholarships, and campus facilities don't yet match top foreign universities, and it's costlier than most Indian public colleges. So value is moderate.

You will fall in love with the people here, they are so kind ❤️
Tips: I'm a PhD student supported by a research grant. Hence, it was financially easy, but it isn't enough to save a lot. Just enough to sustain the expensive Dublin. Unlike master's students, PhD students might have very few friends, which might make it a bit difficult initially, but gradually it changes (hoping so).

Great environment to meet students from different cultures
Tips: There are not many job placements, but there are job fairs, career guidance, and internships. Based on grades, we get scholarships. They post cultural events, so we meet and get connected with people from different cultures. We also have a student union to raise questions and concerns.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is great at the university. Lots of cultural events and student clubs besides academic life. Students get to showcase their talents. Academics are also great, with good faculty, great resources, and research teams. They also have a platform to post lectures, which is very useful.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are limited, but off campus you have lots of opportunities. It takes time, but we can try with the right documents. Academics and part-time are balanced well, as we have fewer classes and time to finish the assignments if we just stick to the part-time hours allocated by the government.

Stressful but learning environment.
Tips: Very difficult if you don't have experience. Part time jobs are competitive. College work is stressful for a full time course. I would suggest getting admitted if you get a good amount of scholarship. Try to negotiate for a scholarship. The country is good.
Likes (Public transportation): In cities like Dublin, the bus transport is very frequent. Buses are connected to almost all parts of the city. The Dublin City University has a dedicated bus stop for Dublin Bus. The other bus stops are also at a distance of 200 - 400 meters. There is also a D-ART station nearby.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time jobs are very competitive to get on campus. Also after distributing 150 CVs, I have not received a call. Part time work is manageable with time management and if you start at a good place. The average payout for the part time roles is 14.15 per/hr and may increase if you have prior experience in the same job role.
