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.

Don't come to Ireland if you're looking for jobs or permanent residency.
Tips: Be open about studies, food, weather and culture. Mixed culture environment. It is different from India. I got a 2,000 scholarship. It depends on grades. At university, you have loads of stuff to do, different societies, and events. The course especially related to placements are very bad. They don't help unless they know you exist. Not worth 15-30 lakhs INR. For cultural experience country is very nice and the people are nice. There's racism in some parts of the country. The weather is very bad.
Likes (Safety): Very safe for women, at least in Cork. You can go out late at night. Wear whatever you want no one's going to judge or harm you in any way. For other cities there's racism sometimes. And some parts of the city are not safe. There's stabbing and loads of things are going on in the name of racism. But Cork is safe.
Dislikes (Internships): There will be no university placements when you apply for the course. 3/10 help from faculties with the jobs. If they know you exist they might refer you somewhere. Specific attention is given to food science and it's easy for them to get a job compared to other courses. Don't apply for finance or data science or data analytics courses, there won't be any international exposure, you'll just find Indians.

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.

Challenging but rewarding if you are focused.
Tips: It's a hard life, get prepared to work hard and there will be no shortcuts and life here is different, where you need perseverance and time management to plan things and survive the nature of this country. Also discipline is a bit important as every small mistake somehow affects.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is vibrant and fulfilling if you're dedicated. There are plenty of clubs, cultural events and academic seminars throughout the year. I loved the balance of study and social life especially how international students are encouraged to participate.
Dislikes (Safety): There were isolated incidents of racial slurs near the campus, especially during late hours. Campus security is decent but the surroundings can feel unsafe for international students walking alone, especially at night. Also, it is very bad.
