Good city but is very expensive.
Tips: The MMML course asks for strong maths and coding skills and a clear weekly study routine. Expect a discussion led classroom, first name interactions with lecturers, and higher living costs than most of the cities. Scholarships can ease tuition fees significantly.

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.

4.1
Always have some research and preparation before coming.
Tips: Please check the course modules on the university official website. It's beneficial if you come with some work experience in Ireland/Europe. The courses mandatory modules are more focused on statistics and core data Science. So choose this university only if you want to go deep into core subject and have some preparation before coming, as the lecturers won't teach everything from scratch since it's Masters.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is great, there are many events happen throughout the year, college has great sports arena, which includes gym, swimming pool and many sports grounds. They also provide training for multiple sports, as well as swimming and gym training. There are many communities which organise a variety of events.
Dislikes (Internships): You have to find the internship yourself for the last semester, otherwise dissertation is the option. Hardly anyone gets an internship in the last semester, also as a non EU member, it becomes more difficult. For post degree completion internships, many companies do offer graduate roles where the first few months are for training.

The faculty are helpful and the campus is diverse and vibrant.
Tips: Students should be prepared for the weather, it can rain anytime and it's cold and damp. Staying away from home can be depressing in this weather but there is a strong presence of the Indian community on both campus and the city so participating in social events helps a lot. You will be able to manage the academics, there is no pressure. Managing part-time, accommodation and personal life can be challenging. The accommodation crisis in Ireland is real so be prepared for challenges. It's easier to get a job sooner than decent accommodation at a reasonable price. The campus is huge and beautiful. You can enjoy the world-class facilities and architecture. My academic experience was very good and I am happy with it. I was busy with part-time work and other personal commitments. I would have liked to enjoy the facilities and campus more often. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): Safety is a major concern for students and Cork City is committed to the well-being and safety of foreign nationals, especially students. I have never felt unsafe at any time of the day or night during my course. Public transportation, connectivity and street are well-lit for the public.
Dislikes (Value for money): It's an expensive course which costs around 17000 euros for a year. For a European student, the cost is less than half. The salary of a graduate role or an experienced professional has decreased drastically in the last few years and when compared to the cost of education for a year which is somewhere near 25000+ euros is not exactly glamorous. Students need to be very strategic in their decisions to make this a profitable investment.

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.
