My experience and the life in ireland
Tips: Hi, I am Loheswari. I did my master's at the National College of Ireland in 2024. It was one of the best experiences, and I had the opportunity to meet new people and new culture, there was a mix of many cultures where I got the chance to explore. Yeah, I got a scholarship of 4000 euros for the English exam and bachelor's degree. Yes, I am very satisfied with the course and staff.
Likes (Safety): Hi, I am Loheswari Solaisamy Alagarsamy Nagarajan i did my masters in national college of Ireland from 2024 to 2025. I did a master's degree in masters in data analytics. I landed in Sept 2024 without money, the bus driver was so kind. He boarded me on the bus, even after 11 pm. After work, I used to walk on the road to reach home.
Dislikes (Part time work): Hi, I am Loheswari. I did my master's at National College of Ireland from 2024 to 2025. I did an MSc Data Analyst course, and I was searching for part-time work in many places. If you have many connections and referrals, we can get a part-time job. After 9 months, I got a job as a deli assistant.

If you’re priority is good salary and less fees rather than good college life choose NCI
Tips: NCI is not for freshers, if you have 2+ years of experience, then you'll get the best ROI possible. Be practical about choosing your course and be prepared for a very tough year, but things get better after that. There are better colleges in Ireland, but NCI provides the same opportunities in very less feels.
Likes (Part time work): You can easily get part time and the minimum wage here is enough to survive and save. The government allows 20 hours a week, which gives you enough time and money to study and live comfortably. Mostly, students opt for part-time work and can navigate through multiple options.
Dislikes (Internships): The internships in Ireland are time-consuming and do not compensate you for the time you put in. Part-time work is a better option in Ireland. If money is not a problem, then internships are good here. You will get good options, and they help in scoring a job later on.

A Good Cyber Security Experience in Dublin
Tips: Studying at NCI has been a positive experience, but students need to prepare themselves for the transition to entering a new country with a new academic lifestyle. The city of Dublin is very multicultural and welcoming, but the cost of living in this city is very high, and particularly housing costs are quite high, hence, it is necessary for students to have adequate money and a budget plan. The M.Sc. Cyber Security program is an independent study program and requires the student to have continuous learning and submit assignments outside classroom hours. Students need to keep realistic expectations for part-time employment and post-study job opportunities, as they will take some time to find.
Likes (Indian Food): All sorts of places to eat and different foods can be found. But the problem is that they cost a lot, and it seems to me that not everything about their quality and taste is worth such prices. I advise you to cook for yourself if you have the opportunity.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current situation is very tough when it comes to finding part-time jobs in Ireland. For most students, it can take around 6-7 months to land a part-time job. For full-time opportunities, until you receive Stamp 1G (post-study visa), job applications can keep getting rejected because of work permission requirements. Even after getting Stamp 1G, finding a full-time job is not easy. It can take another 6-12 months or more, depending on various factors such as the job market, experience, skills, and the role. This situation applies to both experienced students and fresh graduates. Regarding job roles, there are graduates/entry level opportunities available across companies for freshers, while experienced students generally need to identify and apply for opportunities that match their existing experience and skills. Ultimately, the post-study job search depends heavily on Stamp 1G, your profile, experience, skills, the job market, and other individual factors.

Life at NUIG & Ireland, Galway
Tips: Keep your legal documents handy, do not take a lot of clothes from India just carry lots of masala and indian food (Lodoo, quick meal). Research everything about transport and euro conversion. Smoking is Expensive (18 $ a packet). Take all your loans in Account, sometimes it takes a month to transfer INR to Euro.
Likes (Safety): It's safe in Ireland. People don't bother you until they are drunk or have bad intentions. Also, Garda is helpful here. If you have indulged in anything on the road. Quickly report that to the Garda, they will help you. Also, you SEE a lot of scams in Europe, like 45 $/H deals. Stay away from them. QUICK MONEY IS A SCAM IN EUROPE!
Dislikes (Internships): You are on your own when it comes to searching for a job. Campus can only review your resume and ask you to apply for some mostly irrelevant jobs. Which can chatGPT or Claude can do in 10 min. After graduation, you are on your own with the job hunt. You need to focus on building connections to take a job.

A Good Learning Experience with Great Exposure
Tips: Before joining, students should be prepared for a more independent learningn style and should make use of the resources and support available from the college. Moving to ireland was a big change for me, especially adjusting to a new culture, weather and way of learning, but I gradually became comfortable and adapted to the lifestyle. I received a scholarship towards my tuition fees, which helped reduce the overall financial burden. Overall, I am satisfied with my university and course, especially because it gave me good exposure to cloud computing and helped me develop skills relevant to my career. I also enjoyed living in Ireland and experiencing a different culture.
Likes (Indian Food): Since there are many Indian cuisine choices that range from South Indian, North Indian, vegetarian, or non-vegetarian eateries. The prices depend on what type of eatery, which ranges from 15-25 Euros per individual. In my case, I mostly like to prepare my meals at home since it is cheaper, healthy, and gives me the chance of eating what I am familiar with. At other times, I also like to eat out when I want to try different types of cuisine.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I have awarded this question 3 marks because, although there are chances to settle permanently in Ireland, permanent migration is surely not an easy task. I believe that there are good chances that I will be able to settle down permanently in this country because I am building my career in this country after studying and working here. If I get such a chance, I would prefer to settle permanently in Ireland.

Diverse place, mixed quality.
Tips: Try to be experienced and well skilled in the subjects before starting a master's, as students have managed a lot of things once they arrive in Dublin. Be a quick learner and be aware of the skills that are crucial for the Irish job market. Do not try to outsource your assignments.
Likes (Public transportation): I gave transport 5/5 because NCI's location in the IFSC is unbeatable for commuting. The Red Line LUAS drops you off literally right at the doorstep at Mayor Square, so getting to lectures from anywhere in Dublin is completely stress-free. On top of that, Connolly Station is just a short 10-minute walk away if you're taking the DART or regional Irish Rail trains, and tapping with a student Leap Card keeps your daily fare capped and cheap.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The curriculum is well structured, but students have to rely more on self-preparation. Concepts are often introduced well, but regular practice is required to become skilled and job-ready. NCI’s career team is really helpful in providing mentorship regarding the job hunt even after finishing a master's.
