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.

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.

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.

The University College Cork provides an exciting and enriching experience.
Tips: Before you join this college, you should make sure that you have the prerequisites for the course you are applying to. You should also network on LinkedIn and connect with professors and the Indian Alumni community to get an understanding of life there. Finally, you should prepare a rough version of your resume according to their standards before you go.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself, and I was able to find all the ingredients I needed at the local stores. There is a large Indian community in Cork, and there are many Indian restaurants and stores that serve a wide variety of Indian cuisines. If you prepare beforehand, food should not be a concern.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs depend entirely on the skill set the candidate possesses and networking done in the due course of time. Students should talk to the university staff and people pursuing other advanced courses in the college. Participate in career fairs and meet new people every day to learn more.

University and course review.
Tips: First of all, I don't know how to do cooking. I have managed to do it somehow and yes, we have to manage a lot of things on our own. We can get a normal University scholarship here. I am satisfied with the learnings from people belong to different backgrounds. Course's syllabus is industry relevant. There are so many things which we learn when we move abroad. I personally got to learn so many things about food and culture in Ireland.
Likes (Student Life): It depends on the which day of the week and when does the class begins. I typically start my day going to college library and then to classes. There are lots of cultural events being organised in the college, as well as in the city. In the month of September, there is a cultural night and also every year in Cork city, there is a Jazz festival wherein all the music artists come. If we talk about clubs and communities, lots of clubs and students from different nationalities are a part of them including sports and consulting. And of course there is an Indian society as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There any many Indian food outlets in the city. I prefer cooking instead of going out as it is cheaper and convenient. I prefer going to grocery store and do grocery shopping for a week and then cook which can be a time-consuming thing, but it saves a lot of expenses.

Cork is a Welcoming City and UCC is the heart of Cork.
Tips: I would highly recommend gaining work experience before coming to this country. There was a cultural shift when I landed here but now, we are getting used to it. I got a scholarship of 1000 Euros because of the grades and Work Experience that I had. I'm very satisfied with the overall experience.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The process is simple if we have landed in a Job and if we work for 4-6 years. It then becomes sure that we will be getting the PR easily in Ireland. I would like to be the president of this country, given that I land up a Job and stay employed for 4-6 years.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I live in Cork and the Indian food options are very limited as we have one restaurant in the city and one more in the outskirts of Cork. So, it's quite difficult to have Indian food. A Biryani would be costing 15-20 Euros (approximately 1400-2000 INR). I prefer cooking myself as I cook lots of dishes.
