Very few companies offer sponsorship.
Tips: Rent is high, you might end up paying more, so you need to have your savings.
Getting part time is not easy; it might be more difficult than internships, unless you network properly.
Studies are not at all easy; there were many who failed in our batch because they could not handle both part-time work and studies. You need to invest some time in studying.
Likes (Internships): I had to search for internships on my own; the college didn't help me exclusively, other than arranging career fairs that inform you about companies, but don't help you as such. I had to apply almost every day for internships, and I landed one because I had prior work experience. It would have been way harder if I were a fresher.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies offer sponsorship. All kinds of software jobs are available. Packages offered depend on experience, company, and also the job role. A junior can get anywhere between 30000 euros and 60000 euros, but visa sponsorship is less. The competition is high for each role as there are many talented professionals.

A research driven and enriching academic journey at UCC.
Tips: Students planning to join (UCC) should know that it is a research-intensive university with a strong academic focus especially in life sciences, biotechnology and biomedical research. The Biochemistry and Biosciences programs are rigorous and research-oriented so students should be prepared for independent learning, critical thinking and laboratory work.
I did not receive a scholarship but UCC offers several merit-based and international student scholarships. These typically require strong academic records and are awarded automatically or through a separate application process. Some scholarships offer partial tuition fee waivers ranging from 2,000–5,000.
I am highly satisfied with my experience at UCC. The university offers strong academic support, modern laboratory facilities and exposure to advanced research methodologies. The Biochemistry and Biosciences program is well-structured and aligns well with current industry and research demands.
Ireland as a country is safe, student-friendly and research-driven, particularly in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical sciences. Cork, being a student city, has a welcoming atmosphere and good quality of life.

We have really nice campus.
Tips: You should be really good at English. Please check if you can get any scholarship. Your tuition fees will be reduced. I am very satisfied with my university. Our course is great. As we all know, Cork does not have great weather. You should consider that.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teachers are really good at their job. Some might show racism. It happens rarely. They are really supportive. Helps you with your doubts. Communicate very openly and friendly. About diversity in terms of nationality is okay. Not that diverse.
Dislikes (Student Life): Our classes are at 9 am and then sometimes around 5-6 pm. Around 12- 2, we have a lunch break. We don't have college every day. It's like 3-4 times every week. We have many clubs. You should join them and learn some new things you are interested in.

Planned risks for your dreams.
Tips: Take a minute to really understand what you want for your future. Does the course you are having on your kind bring you any closer to the career that you have in your mind. Is it giving you a boost for the career path you are on. Don't solely take a course because the masses refer to it. Even a course that is not that popular but aligns with your history would definitely be a game changer. A course that's totally unrelated to what you did for your Bachelors or your professions won't get you a job in that stream without relevant experience. Do a proper and detailed check before learning in. Because financially, this would take some time for you to recover and get back on track.
Likes (Part time work): UCC supports part time. They even provide you with part time tutoring opportunities, with very good pay. Also there are good part time opportunities overall. Will have to struggle initially, but with time things will shape really great. Everyone I know got part time. You will get seasonal opportunities and if you play your cards right, that's a permanent position.
Dislikes (Internships): There won't be any support for internships from the university for the specific Masters course. If you find one, they can recommend you. During our induction, they clearly mentioned that they won't support internships or even part times considering the academic loads we have for this course. But it's not that heavy and we can balance it with part times to a good extent. Prepare early and aim for on time scheduled work for efficiency. It's not going to be easy, but things will work out in the end.
