Great college with strong learning in every subject and many societies to join based on interests.
Tips: The university offers a great learning experience with supportive faculty and diverse opportunities. Irish people are known to be warm, welcoming, and friendly. Always say "thank you" often, and avoid using "sir" for everyone; address people by their names instead. You should also remember there is not much difference in which university you join to complete your studies, since you have to do applications by yourself for jobs. Also, it is not that easy to get the jobs you need to do a lot of applications.

Flexible but hectic during peak time.
Tips: Focus on finishing your coursework first before looking for part-time jobs. Be interactive and engage during classes. And, be super careful with your assignments. Make sure they're all original and no plagiarism. The school takes that stuff super seriously, and it could even lead to visa problems.

MSc in Finance - Batch of 2026
3.6
Well designed to cater educational needs.
Tips: The accent was a bit challenging initially, but I eventually got used to it. I received a scholarship of 2000 euros, awarded based on my academic performance. I am satisfied with the university; it's fun and offers a good balance between part-time work and studies. The only downside is the weather.
Likes (Public transportation): It's all well-connected and well-designed, with most places offering 24/7 services. Students benefit from cheaper transportation, paying just 1 euro for a 90-minute bus ride. While Ireland also has good rail and Luas systems, the bus provides reliable 24/7 service.
Dislikes (Safety): Safety is everyone's utmost priority, but recently, Indians have faced issues with teenagers, including bullying, theft, and fights. Garda is not readily available, and some loopholes favour teenagers, which are being exploited. Medical services are also not up to par.

A learning and insightful experience.
Tips: I cannot deny that there were no cultural shifts, of course, it is very different here from what we had back home, but a good experience. Of course, jobs and markets, everything is bad currently, not very pleasing, but living through it. Except that I loved the experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members were really good and approachable, and their classes were helpful. We were given support whenever required. We also had tutorials which gave us additional support along with the regular classes, which made it easier for us to cope with the subjects.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job opportunities are not many, and the market is actually very bad here now; not much available for us. And since the cost of living is high, it is difficult to manage. For the people who graduated also finding a job is being a task here; it might not be the right time to move here.

DCU is good for studies, Ireland is bad for job market.
Tips: It is not as easy as it looks. The struggle is real. Don't come here if you have a table job in India. It takes time to find a job, even a part-time one. There's a lot of competition in Dublin City University for jobs and internships because it's very popular with Indian graduates of this Master's program. Everywhere you look, you will see Indian students working part-time jobs.
Likes (Safety): There are no issues at all, so don't worry about that. It is safe enough to travel in public transport near the Dublin City University campus. There are also bars open until 12 am, and they are friendly too. There are also so many events that happen on campus, which are open to students, like movie nights.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is awful, with only a few good companies available. You will be competing against a lot of people for the small number of jobs, because DCU does not have the capability to send students to many available jobs. Many of the positions are filled by EU citizens and do not allow other job-seekers from other nations. Also, the visa problem is bad. There is a skills problem as well. My Indian experience and skills are not being recognised here, which makes me sad. They don't matter. To add to this problem, there are no placement options at DCU. Internships are also very hard to find. The reference scheme isn’t working either.

The campus is friendly and diverse, which can be comforting for students.
Tips: Students should be aware that magic doesn't happen automatically; you have to show up for it. In order to get the best education at the university, students have to show up and pay attention to classes, be interactive and engaging. The campus is friendly and diverse, which can be comforting and supportive for students. They should get used to studying independently and not relying on teachers to always be available. The faculty are there for you if you need help, but there is not a whole lot of hand-holding. Also, they should know that when people say "cheers," it means "thanks," which can save some embarrassment. Lastly, the weather is an emotional experience. Don't get discouraged if it isn't great every day.
