It was very good course with well balanced and divided the program in a good way.
Tips: It is important to know about the college and the course being offered. You should also be aware of all the circumstances, like culture, food, and weather. Knowing these will really help you adjust to the country where you want to complete your Master's. It is also important to attend the college and learn the concepts, as the exams will not be easy, and it's all concept-oriented.

My experience in Ucc ,may be different for other students
Tips: The way of teaching in India and abroad is very different; don't expect teachers to give you notes and cover the whole syllabus; we definitely have to study a few topics on our own. So we need to change the way we study and be willing to start your new journey, as you will know what true auditing means.
Likes (Part time work): Landing a part-time gig in cities like Cork or Dublin is honestly pretty easy and the money is enough to cover your monthly expenses. But seriously just do your 20 hours and do not lose sight of the actual goal which is landing a full-time job. A lot of Indian students out here end up overworking themselves in part-time roles and completely lose focus on landing actual full-time careers.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Since we had a lot of assignments, we had to learn a few of the topics ourselves, and we would be given a lot of syllabus to be covered by ourselves. Also, my course was just one year, so the syllabus was huge, but I liked the project we did, as it addressed real-time issues.

A practical learning experience with strong support but competitive opportunities.
Tips: Before joining, students should know that the course is quite intensive and requires consistent effort. Being proactive is very important, especially in networking, attending events and applying early for jobs or internships. For non-EU students, the job market can be competitive, so planning really helps. At the same time, UCC offers good support through the Careers team, student services and various clubs that help you feel settled and supported. My transition was a bit challenging at first, mainly adapting to a new academic style that is more independent and discussion-based. There was also a cultural shift in communication, but over time, it became easier by engaging with different people and getting involved in activities. While applying, you may receive a scholarship based on your previous academic performance, which is usually deducted from the tuition fees. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience. The course is practical and industry focused, and Ireland provides good exposure. However, securing internships or jobs, especially as a non EU student, requires extra effort and persistence.
Likes (Safety): I have generally felt safe both on campus and in the city. Apart from campus security, there are various supports and clubs within the university that make you feel safe and supported in any situation. The university also provides student services and guidance if any issues arise, and the overall environment is friendly and respectful. I haven’t had any negative experiences in the city and day-to-day life has felt comfortable and secure.
Dislikes (Internships): It’s extremely hard for non EU students to get an internship after this course. However, the UCC Careers team provides strong support through workshops, CV reviews and career fairs. The guidance available is helpful but securing an internship still requires a lot of independent effort and early applications. There are relevant opportunities in the field competition is high and many roles have visa or experience-related constraints.

One of the best universities with excellent staff in the country.
Tips: Be open to change. Learning here is fun and completely different from the Indian style. All the staff are the best and will go out of their way to help you with academics. I am very satisfied with my university and I did get the basic scholarship that I was eligible for. Culturally people here are very polite and thankful.

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.
