Master of Sciences (Cellular Manufacturing and Therapy) - Batch of 2019
Offered by University of Galway
4.7
A globally recognized university with industry focused education and strong career support.
Tips: Students planning to join NUIG should know that the curriculum is rigorous and industry-relevant, especially STEM courses like biopharma and cell therapy. After arriving in Ireland, I did experience a cultural shock - people are very polite, time-conscious and value personal space. I did not avail of any scholarship personally, but several merit-based scholarships are offered by the Irish government. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the university, course and country.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Ireland provides one of the most transparent and supportive pathways for international students to settle permanently. After graduation, you can get a stamp 1G visa, which offers a 2-year post-study work period, which gives you ample time to secure a full-time job. Once you hold a valid work permit and complete 5 years of legal residence, you become eligible for step 4, which gives you residence rights. Given a chance, I would absolutely like to permanently immigrate to Ireland.
Dislikes (Public transportation): NUIG is centrally located, so it’s easy to walk or bike rather than rely on buses. Although Galway is compact and student friendly, the limited transport network and consistent schedules make it less convenient for daily computing beyond city center.

A top Irish university for sustainability and student life.
Tips: Yes, everyone moving to a different country with a different culture will always have that shift/shock. There are a few scholarships, but they are tough to secure. It is the top university in all of Ireland for sustainability and the best in extracurricular activities. Guidance is limited, and most of them are self-sourced. Finding an internship for people with experience is a bit of hard luck, and most of them are unpaid. If your course helps you fetch an internship, it's great or try finding a job as it is the best option. The professors are highly qualified, supportive and easily approachable. The teaching blends theory with real-world cases, and the sessions are highly interactive. The department is also diverse, with faculty members from different nations and industry backgrounds available.

The University of Galway is amazing and the campus is well connected.
Tips: The university is great, the people are very polite and helpful, and the course is amazing. My only concern is that the job market is performing poorly, and I'm worried about getting a job after graduation. I didn't apply for any scholarships because I applied very late. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience at the University of Galway.
Likes (Safety): CCTV cameras are provided at many locations on campus. There is also a dedicated campus security team and emergency contact services. The university also organizes workshops on personal safety and security both on and off campus and the protocols to be followed in each situation.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The University of Galway campus is well connected by bus routes that stop at many locations. The nearest major attraction is Eyre Square, which is easily accessible by bus or a 2.5-kilometer walk. Public transportation is affordable but not very reliable.

Life in university of Galway: Blend of fun, culture & academics.
Tips: I think once you come here, it transforms you and makes you more independent. I have transitioned into a different person, I can definitely do it all by myself, things that I used to depend on my parents for. A cultural shift would be how everyone is so relaxed over here. The classroom environment is less formal and very friendly compared to back in India. Work-life balance is strongly encouraged, and they take their weekends very seriously. Something not common back in India. I had applied for a scholarship but did not get one. You can apply for a merit-based scholarship at NUIG or from the Government of Ireland for a scholarship. I am very satisfied with the university and life in Galway. Although I expected the course to be more technical, my feelings about that are mixed.
Likes (Student Life): What I've enjoyed most here is the huge riverside campus. Taking a break from lectures and sitting by the river, sipping my favourite coffee: that's how my days usually go. There's plenty of space to explore. There are a lot of cozy places to study if I don't have the space to do so at home. There's a giant library! It's a bookworm's dream come true. Plus, there are tons of clubs and societies for every interest: art, teaching, sports from swimming to archery, and more. If you were a 2020 grad like me and felt like you missed out on college life because of COVID, you'll find it enjoyable here. The campus is lively with events, hackathons, workshops, DJ nights, and more. The Indian Society is always there to host festivals, which makes it less easy for me to feel homesick.
Dislikes (Indian Food): One thing you will miss the most is food. Especially if you are a vegetarian, it's gonna be tough. There are very limited veg options, especially Indian food options, in cities like Galway. However, there are Indian restaurants like Kashmir, Tulsi, Spice India, etc. The variety is restricted, and food can be quite expensive for regular student budgets. Most of the dishes are adjusted to suit a more Western taste palate, so they don't really feel authentic. I prefer to cook at home if I want to have Indian food.

It is a good experience in getting to know the European culture.
Tips: Before coming to Ireland, students should be prepared for its weather conditions, which are not the same as in Asia. They should be prepared for the different culture here, which is not the same as in India. Students should do a lot of research on their own before coming to Ireland so they are well prepared to adjust to living here, as things are not the same as in India. One of the most important things to keep in mind if you are studying abroad is your safety. At the University of Galway, you don’t have to worry too much. The college is entirely safe for students, and it’s safe for women who are travelling alone, even late at night. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): I am struggling with internships, and there are visa restrictions imposed on students here. Once you complete your course, you’re eligible for Stamp 1, and after that, you can apply for a job and get something secure.
