MRes in Biochemistry and Biosciences - Batch of 2026
4.4
A research driven and enriching academic journey at UCC.
Tips: Students planning to join (UCC) should know that it is a research-intensive university with a strong academic focus especially in life sciences, biotechnology and biomedical research. The Biochemistry and Biosciences programs are rigorous and research-oriented so students should be prepared for independent learning, critical thinking and laboratory work. I did not receive a scholarship but UCC offers several merit-based and international student scholarships. These typically require strong academic records and are awarded automatically or through a separate application process. Some scholarships offer partial tuition fee waivers ranging from 2,000–5,000. I am highly satisfied with my experience at UCC. The university offers strong academic support, modern laboratory facilities and exposure to advanced research methodologies. The Biochemistry and Biosciences program is well-structured and aligns well with current industry and research demands. Ireland as a country is safe, student-friendly and research-driven, particularly in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical sciences. Cork, being a student city, has a welcoming atmosphere and good quality of life.

We have really nice campus.
Tips: You should be really good at English. Please check if you can get any scholarship. Your tuition fees will be reduced. I am very satisfied with my university. Our course is great. As we all know, Cork does not have great weather. You should consider that.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teachers are really good at their job. Some might show racism. It happens rarely. They are really supportive. Helps you with your doubts. Communicate very openly and friendly. About diversity in terms of nationality is okay. Not that diverse.
Dislikes (Student Life): Our classes are at 9 am and then sometimes around 5-6 pm. Around 12- 2, we have a lunch break. We don't have college every day. It's like 3-4 times every week. We have many clubs. You should join them and learn some new things you are interested in.

Good facilities and amenities.
Tips: The environment, people and teachers are very nice and supportive. The facilities that the college provides like the library, gym, arena, sports complex and cultural halls for various students, are awesome. I would recommend everyone to take admission in this college. I'm very satisfied with my course and college. Good experiences.

Planned risks for your dreams.
Tips: Take a minute to really understand what you want for your future. Does the course you are having on your kind bring you any closer to the career that you have in your mind. Is it giving you a boost for the career path you are on. Don't solely take a course because the masses refer to it. Even a course that is not that popular but aligns with your history would definitely be a game changer. A course that's totally unrelated to what you did for your Bachelors or your professions won't get you a job in that stream without relevant experience. Do a proper and detailed check before learning in. Because financially, this would take some time for you to recover and get back on track.
Likes (Part time work): UCC supports part time. They even provide you with part time tutoring opportunities, with very good pay. Also there are good part time opportunities overall. Will have to struggle initially, but with time things will shape really great. Everyone I know got part time. You will get seasonal opportunities and if you play your cards right, that's a permanent position.
Dislikes (Internships): There won't be any support for internships from the university for the specific Masters course. If you find one, they can recommend you. During our induction, they clearly mentioned that they won't support internships or even part times considering the academic loads we have for this course. But it's not that heavy and we can balance it with part times to a good extent. Prepare early and aim for on time scheduled work for efficiency. It's not going to be easy, but things will work out in the end.

There are plenty of great Indian food places in Cork city.
Tips: The course duration is very short and you can't have every experience during those few months. If you can put your head down for the first two semesters, it's smooth sailing forward. Don't worry about part time job, partying or repaying your loan during the college term. You can do that very easily if you complete your college properly.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of great Indian food places in Cork city. Very authentic South Indian and North Indian region specific restaurants are available. We can also get all the ingredients we want here at very similar prices. So do not carry basics like price and daal from India. Use that luggage space for something else.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships for Master's are not really a thing in Ireland. Most Irish kids do their Internships during their final year in high school and a few during under graduation. What is common is working for the company you do your project with. Those technical facts as an internship for Master's.

The university is really friendly and helpful for students.
Tips: I became more disciplined and able to manage time well. There are cultural shifts but only positive. Got a 2000 scholarship from the university on the basis of work experience and my undergrad score. I am totally satisfied with my university; I got to learn a lot in finance. They teach us the things that we do and need in the real world, not just unnecessary theories as they do in India.
Likes (Student Life): The university campus is really big and beautiful. It is so green and peaceful. We also have sports facilities in the university. Gym, swimming, football, basketball, squash, etc. I have 3-4 days of classes per week. One class is 2 hours each, and I have a total of 6-7 classes in one week, which is quite manageable. There are events at every festival, recruitment event, and social event. I have joined the commerce club and the volleyball club.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Here we have less options for food as compared to India, also eating outside in India was feasible. Here it's too expensive. At least 6-10 a meal. There are some Indian restaurants in the city as well. I cook myself most of the time, because it is more affordable and healthy at the same time. Eating outside is not at all an affordable option but sometimes on weekends, I eat outside.
