Well rounded experience with excellent teaching quality.
Tips: The university and personal life were amazing, making friends felt easy, and exploring the beautiful country. There was not much cultural shift. I availed a scholarship of 2000 euros because of my undergraduate results. If someone had already done economics, the course was not so difficult according to Indian standards.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty under my department and course were really helpful and knowledgeable in their own field. They were easily approachable, friendly and had a great way of teaching, making every student connected through group projects and class meetings. The diversity was not so large, all subject teachers were Irish except one, who was Chinese.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): After completing a Master's degree, generally the job package is offered between 28,000-35,000 euros if you are a fresher or have 1-2 years of experience. The international companies are ready to give a sponsor visa but the competition is really high. The local and small scale companies do not consider giving sponsorship.

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.

MSc in Data Science and Analytics - Batch of 2026
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.

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.
