It is not very easy to land a paid internship during the course of your studies.

Tips: People need to research more on the pros and cons of studying abroad before they jump to conclusions. You need to research the weather if the conditions would suit you, the job market, part-time opportunities, the rating of the course, and suggestions from alumni or your alma mater. A basic knowledge about all these would make you take an informed decision led by facts and data, which would make you take a better decision and ease the progression into your university and jobs later on. Please take time and get to know where, why and what you're doing in the future. Do not assume things and jump to conclusions.

Likes (Indian Food): Food is not a problem at all, you have all the Indian stores and restaurants which have similar food compared to India. Eating out may be expensive. So either get your masalas and basics from India and cook at home or get them here. So there are a lot of local options aswell. So, I think it is very easy to make your own food here.

Dislikes (Internships): It is not very easy to land a paid internship during the course of your studies. You need prior experience to land a job here. Any student must consider having 2 to 3 years of experience before planning to study here. Relevant internships are even harder to find as there is a lack of opportunities for freshers and not many companies offer them.

MSc (Regenerative Medicine) - Batch of 2024

4.1

A fun and academic university.

Tips: Honestly, you’ve really got to look at the market first and just pick a course that’s actually in demand right now. I’d also say definitely get stuck into the college clubs and all that—it’s actually worth the effort and you end up learning way more than you’d think. If you ever feel stuck or anything, just give the international office a shout. They’re honestly great and happy to help with literally whatever you need. I’m really glad I made the move, the course and the whole vibe here have been solid.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Ireland is a peaceful country and it's safe. I have never heard of a case in Galway where discrimination has come or someone has faced that. Even house owners are cooperative and take people from different races for accommodation. And in case someone faces that, the university has a special board that looks into the matter. So I would love to settle here.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships are hard to get and you have to manually search for them. Even for the graduate programme try to get after January as working timings are not flexible and it is hard to maintain both at the same time. Students generally end up with part-time as internships are hard to get, as companies are seeking candidates who have a stamp 1G or can do full time or have flexible working time.

MSc in International Accounting and Analytics - Pathway B - Batch of 2025

4.6

Definitely worth joining this college.

Tips: Be ready to miss your family and friends. However you can transform your life, meet new friends, habituate to a new culture and weather. I loved my university life and course. I didn't get any scholarship but people in other courses got scholarships. Course duration should be more than 12 months to get a scholarship.

Likes (Safety): I've never faced any issues to date in Ireland. Apart from campus security, the University of Galway provides emergency call points, good lighting, ID card access to buildings, and wellbeing support services. Galway is a friendly city and I mostly felt safe, though busy areas at night can sometimes feel uncomfortable because of a few junkies.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Limited Indian restaurants and can't expect taste like India. You can feel expensive if you are a student. But once or twice a month you can go. We can also find Indian grocery stores but a bit expensive. We can get all types of vegetables. Students can try part time jobs in these restaurants.

MSc in Computer Science (Data Analytics) - Batch of 2022

3.7

Best place to gain domain knowledge and the industry.

Tips: There was a culture shift. The way of teaching is very different from India here. It is more of practical oriented here. Though I didn’t avail the scholarship, I did the teaching assistantship at university which was a very good learning experience.

Dislikes (Internships): There is not much support from the career center for internships as that of full time job. Availability of the role and market at that time. For students I would suggest coming here with some amount of work experience. Career Cell should conduct more guidance events.
