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.

There are plenty of great Indian food places in Cork city.
Tips: The course duration is very short and you can't have every experience during those few months. If you can put your head down for the first two semesters, it's smooth sailing forward. Don't worry about part time job, partying or repaying your loan during the college term. You can do that very easily if you complete your college properly.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of great Indian food places in Cork city. Very authentic South Indian and North Indian region specific restaurants are available. We can also get all the ingredients we want here at very similar prices. So do not carry basics like price and daal from India. Use that luggage space for something else.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships for Master's are not really a thing in Ireland. Most Irish kids do their Internships during their final year in high school and a few during under graduation. What is common is working for the company you do your project with. Those technical facts as an internship for Master's.

The university is really friendly and helpful for students.
Tips: I became more disciplined and able to manage time well. There are cultural shifts but only positive. Got a 2000 scholarship from the university on the basis of work experience and my undergrad score. I am totally satisfied with my university; I got to learn a lot in finance. They teach us the things that we do and need in the real world, not just unnecessary theories as they do in India.
Likes (Student Life): The university campus is really big and beautiful. It is so green and peaceful. We also have sports facilities in the university. Gym, swimming, football, basketball, squash, etc. I have 3-4 days of classes per week. One class is 2 hours each, and I have a total of 6-7 classes in one week, which is quite manageable. There are events at every festival, recruitment event, and social event. I have joined the commerce club and the volleyball club.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Here we have less options for food as compared to India, also eating outside in India was feasible. Here it's too expensive. At least 6-10 a meal. There are some Indian restaurants in the city as well. I cook myself most of the time, because it is more affordable and healthy at the same time. Eating outside is not at all an affordable option but sometimes on weekends, I eat outside.

Budget friendly and safe option for freshers.
Tips: 3 years plus experience is must as job market is getting difficult in 2025.
2,000-3,000 euros is enough for the expenditure as you can manage expenses through part time as living costs here are less than dublin. Choose your university wisely as it can be a game changer for you based on your experience in your field.

Really good experience studying at UCC.
Tips: The course is fast-paced and has a lot of projects so managing time is crucial. After coming here it took time for me to adjust but the people in college, the teaching staff and everyone are really helpful and kind so it gets easier. I am happy with the course and the university. It's been a good experience so far.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in the area is convenient, reliable and well connected to the campus. The frequency of bus is good and it's easy to commute to and from university. The transportation system makes it accessible for students who don't have personal vehicles and the routes cover most areas where students live.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time job opportunities are extremely competitive and difficult to secure. Each vacancy typically receives 100-200 applications, which means students often face long waiting periods before finding employment. The high competition makes it challenging for students who need to work while studying to support themselves financially.
