MSc in Finance (Investment & Asset Management) - Batch of 2024

It is a very good university and the course should be chosen wisely.
Tips: Bringing in substantial professional experience is a significant advantage, as it allows you to contribute meaningfully from day one. The environment here is incredibly welcoming, with friendly colleagues who foster collaboration and a sense of community. Overall, I am fully satisfied with the course, university and the country.
Likes (Student Life): There are numerous clubs for students to explore and engage with, catering to a wide range of interests. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive. Sports enthusiasts and art lovers alike will find plenty of opportunities to join groups that match their passion.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are rarely available and challenging to secure without strong referrals, often proving difficult even with them. Unfortunately, the college does not provide much assistance in this process, leaving students to rely heavily on personal networks and persistence.

UCC is a great university to pursue post graduate degree in.
Tips: The university offers various courses. Find the ones that are actually in demand in the country that align with your ambitions in your career and enrol. The consultant often tells you a particular course is high in demand, so do your research and get in. The country is very safe for women on public transport and the university campus was very welcoming. The city and people are friendly and welcoming. The Garda or police are helpful to foreigners as well. It is a nice country but competitive too. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experience here.

The academics is stressful with more assignments and exams.
Tips: There were many Indians in my course, so I didn't feel much of a cultural shift. I received a basic scholarship from my college of around 2000 Euros which every student will get but didn't get the full scholarship that I expected. Additionally, the college doesn't provide placements, so I had to look for one off-campus. Overall, I'm not completely satisfied with my experience at UCC.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook for myself, and there was an Asian shop near my home where I could buy lentils and other ingredients. The price of ingredients varied depending on the product. For example, a 10kg bag of rice costs 28 Euros, and 500 grams of toor dal costs about 3 Euros. Vegetables were quite expensive compared to India, 300 grams of ladies' fingers cost about 3 Euros.
Dislikes (Internships): I didn't participate in an internship during my course of study because my course didn't have an internship program. Additionally, our professors advised us not to seek internships or part-time employment during our studies. As a result, I didn't receive any guidance from the college about internships. I'm not sure if there are any internships available that are relevant to my field of study.

University College Cork provides scholarships based on individual academic performance.
Tips: The culture shift is huge in terms of work culture, but it's quite easygoing with a lot of self-development time. The university provides scholarships based on individual academic performance, and I received one based on my class 10 and 12 performance, as well as my bachelor's degree.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement in Ireland is an easy option, as it takes just 5-6 years to get permanent residency. Although I haven't given any thought to permanent immigration, it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay here for 5-10 years and then consider other options.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not many proper Indian restaurants to choose from. The pricing depends on the restaurant's location. The pricing is on a bit higher side with one main dish costing around 17-18 Euros. The restaurant isn't up to the mark as per Indian taste. Cooking yourself can be a better option.

Thorough evaluation and thought must be given before you commit to the course.
Tips: The course was quite stressful and didn't have a lot of options including some hidden conditions such as only qualifying for your full master's degree on scoring a 60 above on average. The course isn't designed for fresh graduates. You are in a much better position if you approach this after at least 5 years of experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were pretty approachable but there are a few who weren't. Overall staff were pretty accessible. But most of them do not entertain or support questions / provide support post examinations. Make sure you have a clear path after graduation to ensure a stress-free transition from student life to graduate life.
Dislikes (Indian Food): A lot of options are available but they do end up being quite pricey for a meal. Indian food is quite hard to find in Cork but it is available but slightly pricey so it is better to buy groceries and have homemade meals. Also, avail of student discounts wherever possible and claim free memberships from larger stores to help save some extra cash.
