MSc in International Business - Batch of 2024

PlacementsInfrastructureFacultyCrowd & Campus LifeValue for Money
NCI is fun loving and adventurous
Tips: Before joining the college, here are some key aspects to consider: College reputation and ranking also play a vital role in ending up with opportunities for jobs. On-campus facilities, libraries, sports, and other extracurricular activities are nice. Faculty and support services are provided because it's going to get overwhelming at the beginning until you get a hang of it and it is important to have proper guidance. Financial consideration is a must.
Likes (Value for money): College has a lot of extracurricular activities and webinars. Professors are interactive and it's worth paying the amount for a one year course. There are multiple reasons why Ireland and especially NCI is a good option. It is the cheapest and worth paying amongst other colleges compared and you have equal opportunities.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It's a little expensive to eat outside. You'd rather cook at home. Cheaper and tastes good. Groceries will take a toll on your expenses so you might as well manage your expenses according. Although you have very limited options for food outside. It is advisable to have good grocery options to cook for yourself. There are multiple Asian stores to shop at and at affordable prices and a good tip would be to buy groceries weekly rather than buying anything at all.

Happy that I chose N.C.I Ireland
Tips: I would say the college is really very welcoming. There are people from many country origins and the vibe here is completely different. Academics wise the syllabus they have are up to date and professors are best at what they teach. You can expect many Indians here and you feel more like you are in your country. I didn't saw any cultural shift as such but you must be ready for weather shift anytime. In my case, I received a scholarship from college based on a merit of 4000 euros. A minimum 2000 euros scholarship would be provided for all in my understanding. I am very much satisfied with the institute, course and country I have chosen.

MSc in Entrepreneurship - Batch of 2024

PlacementsInfrastructureFacultyCrowd & Campus LifeValue for Money
Indian students are majority in number for some courses.
Tips: The classes are quite fast and students need to do a lot of assignments and you need to be aware of their teaching patterns. Mostly the concept will be discussed in the classes and you need to apply the learnt concept in your assignment. Overall the experience was good. PS: If you are looking for an international environment please be mentally prepared since there are certain courses in NCI where a majority of the students are Indians
Likes (Safety): Even though the campus looks like an office building the environment is friendly and the staff are easy to approach. Racial discrimination is not there and there are a lot of societies and student unions to discuss the problems or difficulties you are facing as an international student.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It's been two months since I started the course and I have not landed in any jobs yet so I cannot say how good it is.

My experiences with National College of Ireland was satisfying.
Tips: As I studied in 2021, my college was completely online. And if I talk about the cultural shift then NCI has got all the traditional clubs in it all over the world and they respect and celebrate all the traditional events. I have got a 20% scholarship, it completely depends on the score you secured in graduation and your English exam test. I can give 5-star rating to my college and country.
Likes (Value for money): NCI has excellent quality of education and faculty with good and advanced labs and good volumes of books in the library which are accessible. And the continuous assignments give lots of challenges to solve and get many things to learn which makes the college value for money.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post study jobs are low because of the Visa status, no company will be ready to sponsor until you get a valid work permit. For example, if you come here you will be initially on a student visa so officially you are only allowed to work for 20 hours, so no company will be able to sponsor you unless or until we get our valid stamp.

The college is very good and the lecturers are very helpful.
Tips: The education system is pretty different when compared to india. Here we usually get a lot of hands on experience like doing assignments on the ongoing industry trends. I got an merit based scholarship which is of 4000 euros. I would like to rate 8 out of 10 for the university, course and teh country.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many indian restaurants in the city including south indian, north indian and many more. All kinds of indian groceries including masala's are easily available at very affordable prices. There are many indian stores available all over the city.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are very difficult for the non EU students because many of the companies prefer stamp 1G. And as I have seen there are very less opportunities for the internships and it is very hard as the competition is very high for management opportunities.
