Offered by University College Dublin
3.1
Great environment to study and grow.
Tips: Courses can get a bit heavy. Regular study is required. It can also get difficult managing both studies and part time. Make sure you balance both. Overall it's a welcoming university. There's a lot of support available on campus whether it is about studies, mental health, etc.

MEngSc Engineering Management - Batch of 2026
Offered by University College Dublin

A powerful launchpad for driven students.
Tips: UCD is a strong, well respected university with excellent facilities and industry exposure but students should be aware that Ireland has a high cost of living and part time jobs are not guaranteed. The transition was challenging at first, as people are more reserved but it helped me grow in confidence and independence over time. I received a 10000 euro merit based scholarship based on my academic profile. I am very satisfied with UCD, my course and Ireland, as the programme is practical and career oriented and the country offers a safe environment and strong job opportunities.
Likes (Public transportation): UCD is very well connected to the rest of Dublin by multiple bus routes that run frequently throughout the day, making it easy to reach the city centre. Buses are reliable and affordable with a Student Leap card. This covers almost all parts of the city.
Dislikes (Internships): UCD offers good support through career fair, CV help, and employer events. The internships are highly relevant to engineering management and attract top companies. However, competition is high and there is no direct placement system, which makes the student responsible entirely for the job application MS.

Quality education with global exposure.
Tips: Students should be prepared for independent learning and a demanding academic pace. The transition was smooth, though the open, discussion-based culture was a shift. I did not avail a scholarship, but UCD offers merit-based awards of around 3,000-10,000. I am satisfied with UCD, my course and Ireland.

LLM Intellectual Property & Information Technology - Batch of 2026
Offered by University College Dublin
4.4
Student friendly and value for money.
Tips: There are a lot of Indian students here so it feels like home. I got an international Student Scholarship of 4500 and I am very much satisfied with the course since the ratio of course fee and the Job salaries is on the higher side. Beware of the visa situation that your course offers.
Likes (Student Life): You have access to a lot of facilities and students from various backgrounds. I generally love going to libraries and the Student Centre which is in the Village. I participate in a lot of society events, ranging from Filmsoc to dramasoc, lawsoc, literary soc, and PolSOC.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): If you are in a course that comes under a critical skill, you will get a job very easily such as in Engineering or medicine. The package range is between 35,000 and 60,000 for freshmen. There are lots of tech and pharma companies in the Dublin tech hub of the EU and you can get a decent job from an associate role to any managerial role depending on your qualifications.

A great learning experience.
Tips: The buses in Dublin frequently face delays including hours of delay, cancellations and route changes that aren't well announced. My university being away from the tram station, the only option to commute is Buses. It takes me 70-80 minutes to travel to university for a distance of 7 km. The faculty are well experienced and have expertise in the subjects they teach, follow academic rules and guide students beyond academics. The teaching methodology, although varying from faculty to faculty, has always been a good experience for me. The faculty are from diverse nationalities, though the majority are Irish. There is no such concept of placement cell here, rather nowhere in Ireland, the jobs post studies have to be found only through my own effort. UCD do have a career support cell, but their help is limited to CV polish or other interview preparation sessions and organizing career fair. The on campus accommodation at university is more costly than off campus, but are very safe.
