A subtle trampoline for growth.
Tips: I experienced a great cultural shift after coming here. We all have a concrete plan before but landing here nullifies all our expectations and plans. You will 100% come across a path that you didn't plan but is best for your growth. It will take time to assimilate into a new way of life, but sooner or later, you will enjoy it. I didn't get any scholarship. University, course and country, all three are great for me, fully satisfied.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is great at welcoming international students, they organise inclusion events specially to have us international students feel at home. You can easily approach any faculty member regardless of their hierarchy. Teaching methodology is quite different compared to India. After a month or two you will grasp the process. There are lecturers from all across the globe.
Dislikes (Internships): Here in Ireland, it's not like India, where companies will come after. The faculty will provide you with the best tools they can but it's up to our efforts to go after an internship opportunity, so the biggest hurdle for this is you being on a student visa. Companies want to invest their time in people they can train for the long term, and with Visa requirements, there is uncertainty from our side.

You get to experience a lot of things, like new friends, new ethnic exposure, mentors, etc.
Tips: Network with people.
Participate in the clubs and other activities.
Join the volunteering stuff.
Come out of the comfort zone and be independent. Try to make friends with people from other countries you will get a good exposure. Don't be in an Indian group all the time, be self dependent and look for better options.
Try to look for accommodation on Facebook.
Bring part time CV and give it to as many shops as you can.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is amazing and super helpful.
Teaching is mainly like an open schooling so you have to make notes by yourself as they won't give any notes.
Assignments are strict so don't try to copy from the AI, otherwise you will fail in that subject.
Dislikes (Part time work): It's a bit difficult to get part time unless you go alone with a CV and give it to all the shops
On campus part time is very competitive but not impossible so keep applying from the college website all the time for the mentor or assistant roles.
14.15/hour is the current payment.

A really fun, supportive and understanding place to be in.
Tips: It's a lot of work. It would be better if students try to get an overview of the coursework. Do not think that you are gonna get the job the month after finishing college, it takes time so be ready and patient. Build LinkedIn connections and start reaching out to them, ask them if they can refer you and keep the connection. When you can start applying, you'll have a set of connections and you'll have a higher chance of getting a job.
Likes (Value for money): The university is really good. The professors take their job very seriously and the assignments are not too theoretical it's more practical, you could use those assignments as a topic during interviews and the university itself is very beautiful and really big.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Finance as a domain has a lot of scope in Ireland. There are a lot of job opportunities in Edge funds, private Equity and Quantitative finance. However it's important that you have some experience before Master's for you to get a job. It's really hard to get a job as a fresher and it does take a lot of time for the application process so expect to have patience.

Internships were not part of my course.
Tips: The education method is different. Nothing here is spoon feeding. Always prepare before classes.
I did not get any scholarship even though I applied for it. Nobody really received it this year.
I'm satisfied enough, but I could've been happier if I were not antisocial.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Very approachable and friendly faculty. Different teaching method from India. Updated modules/ subjects.
They don't ask you to take notes for everything. Everything is up to us. Come to class or not. But they are very friendly. We could ask them anything, they are very helpful.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships were not part of my course. It was not mandatory to do an internship during the course.
But I did remote internships without pay related to my field, Data science. However, that was of no use. Getting paid internships is difficult. There are other courses in University, where internships are part of the course.

Good academics and college life.
Tips: You'll get fit in very quickly if you are inclusive of different people and their ideas and scholarships are available but are mainly given to students with good work experience and SOP. Also give good consideration to choosing the right counsellor and applying early helps too.
Likes (Student Life): Commuting to attending college classes, cooking and doing assignments and group activities will take a major portion of your time.
The quality of students you have here and the professors you get. Also the college life is great, you have your own college pub and bar, lots of fun activities and clubs, it's exactly how we see in movies but you're actually living it.
Dislikes (Part time work): Since it's a small countryside and Maynooth is a student town, there is a huge competition for part time roles. Also commuting to Dublin for part time is not feasible as the journey takes around an hour or more. The average hourly pay here in Ireland for the year 2026 is 13.5/hr and you can do up to 20 hours a week while your college classes are going on, you can work extra hours during December or during semester break.
