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,...

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 incl...

UCC is a good college with experienced lecturers. They give equal importance to sports and academy

Tips: Apply for a government scholarship if possible. There is a huge culture change once you come here. Food preferences would be difficult. You should get used to the English accent. Should be prepared for climate change. Accommodation might be expensive to find. Choose the modules according to your preferences

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, gi...

UCC: A transformative experience.

Tips: Before joining, students should know that the college offers a supportive learning environment but requires time management due to the academic workload. I experienced a cultural shift, especially adjusting to diverse perspectives and independent living but the transition was smooth. Student life is great as it offers a great balance of academics and fun. My day is filled with classes, group work, and time spent with friends. I enjoy the sense of community the most.

Thorough evaluation and thought must be given before you commit to the course.

Tips: The course was quite stressful and didn't have a lot of options including some hidden conditions such as only qualifying for your full master's degree on scoring a 60 above on average. The course isn't designed for fresh graduates. You are in a much better position if you approach this after at least 5 years of experience.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were pretty approachable but there are a few who weren't. Overall staff were pretty accessible. But most of them do not entertain or support questions / provide sup...

The academics is stressful with more assignments and exams.

Tips: There were many Indians in my course, so I didn't feel much of a cultural shift. I received a basic scholarship from my college of around 2000 Euros which every student will get but didn't get the full scholarship that I expected. Additionally, the college doesn't provide placements, so I had to look for one off-campus. Overall, I'm not completely satisfied with my experience at UCC.

The university has a wonderful, warm and excellent college atmosphere.

Tips: It was a cultural shock for me when I came here but as it's being said slowly and gradually you start loving it. Becoming independent and decision-making is the best thing that happened to me after coming here. I am very much satisfied with the work culture. I got a scholarship of 2000 Euros.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): You can avail the citizenship in 5 years after being a regular taxpayer and it depends if I want to avail that opportunity as I am here for 3 years and 2 years doing the job. It also depends on the company ...

Don't come here to waste your money.

Tips: University doesn't help at all in internships or jobs. You have to study yourself as there is little guidance from the teacher and sometimes they also don't have any knowledge of the subject, just reading the slides and explaining it to us. We can also do that sitting at our home.

A friendly university with good and helpful people.

Tips: Please arrange for accommodation before arriving. If you cannot, please book student accommodation or a hostel for your initial few days so that you don't struggle for shelter. People in Ireland and at UCC in particular are very friendly and I would recommend interacting with locals. As in every other country, locals will respect you more if you do not impose your culture on them but rather share and learn the local culture too.

My journey has been really fruitful with new experiences and challenges.

Tips: I really like UCC as an university there are a lot of social events organised by UCC and there a lot of sports which you can try. The library is really nice. The major challenge I faced was cooking. I am really satisfied with the university but disappoint with the course structure of Business Analytics.

Students can get scholarships based on their Bachelors grade. Overall I am very satisfied with the university, the course structure, teaching and opportunities.

Below average and overly expensive

Tips: Significant cultural shifts, methods of studying and assignments vary a lot from the Indian system. Internships and Job opportunities and even part-time work are challenging to obtain especially for non-European nationals. The course is redundant and repetitive.

Likes (Safety): The city and campus are safe both during the day and night, with no major incidents taking place. The general population is accepting with no serious discrimination taking place. Streets are safe to walk in at night, and the Garda (Polic...

Average University - Don't expect much

Tips: The university is average, facilities are good. The course is generic, won't help with job preparation. Life is not that fast-paced here, job opportunities are fewer, housing crisis is true in Dublin and Cork. The job market is not fresher-friendly.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): It's easy to get PR here compared to the US / Canada. You just need to work for 2 years on a Critical skills permit job to get Stamp 4 (PR) here. Citizenship is the next step, it's achievable. But it is a choice of do you really want to settle here as...

Quality enhancement at UCC

Tips: Studying abroad in University college Cork was the best decision I took back while I was in India. The campus is beautiful and the classes are competitive but they can be managed. People here are very warm and welcoming in nature. The city is very safe and is very modern. I highly recommend this city and university to fellow Indian students. Not only academics you'll get to learn a lot about Irish Culture and I believe that it is what diversifies you.
