MSc in Project Management - Batch of 2026
4.1
Great opportunities and growth.
Tips: I haven’t availed any scholarship. I'm working part time. It's going to be hard but you've got to keep working plus learning even if your economic condition in India is between average and rich. The university work gets really piled up, too much work in too less time.
Likes (Safety): I dont know about living in the city yet I live at university so I feel safe all the time. The campus is huge and you almost get everything on campus you dont have to go anywhere else. But I've been around and buses and all the hot areas have heavy security.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are more Pakistani restaurants than Indian restaurants; moreover, the prices are skyrocketing. Food doesn’t taste as it used to in India. Some places like Andra Bhavan are really good for the taste but the prices aren’t for students its too high.

It’s a very good experience to learn and grow, meeting people from different origins and cultures.
Tips: I did not get any scholarship. It was quite hard at first because of the weather conditions and the food but after a few months, you start to enjoy it. I'm very satisfied. It has been an amazing experience as you get to explore new areas and new people. Feel free to reach out to faculty. They are supportive and understanding.

MSc Finance - Batch of 2026
3.5
A demanding but valuable masters at UCD.
Tips: Before joining UCD, students should be prepared for a rigorous and fast-paced academic environment, especially in my course, which involves heavy coursework in quantitative subjects and coding. While scholarships are competitive and based on academic merit. I am very happy with UCD and the quality of education, and the exposure Ireland offers in terms of career opportunities and a welcoming international student culture.
Likes (Part time work): I rated part time work as 5 because there are many opportunities both on campus and off campus. The working hours are generally flexible and manageable. On average, part-time jobs pay around 11-13 euros per hour, which is helpful for covering basic living expenses.
Dislikes (Safety): I rated safety as 2 because there are limited patrols and emergency facilities in some areas of the city, and I have experienced situations where public transport and street felt unsafe after dark. Although I have not faced any major incident personally, I believe better lighting and more police visibility would help students feel more secure.

Great academics, but start your housing search early.
Tips: Before joining, be aware that the housing market is very dangerous so secure your accommodation whichever you get. The transition was smooth because people are friendly here though the weather is bad. I received a scholarship which helped reduce my fees. Overall it is not worth coming to Ireland.

2.3
Very uneconomical as it has poor value for money.
Tips: Be prepared to find jobs on your own; university only helps tailor your resume. You may face racism issues from your professors too. The transition was more difficult than expected. It takes time for you to adjust academically. Support services exist but they are often slow.
Likes (Student Life): On campus facilities are bad. One of the biggest issues is the cost of living. Rent is absolutely on the higher side. The following was my personal experience: I went to a restaurant, where they have a student discount. But later I realised that the food which they were offering was less than a normal meal.
Dislikes (Internships): Low exposure as internship opportunities are not facilitated by the university. Career services provide generic advice but there are no direct placements or internships. Students are expected to find a job on their own and hunt for an internship on their own.

Pretty hectic courses.
Tips: The culture is very different from my home country. The course is pretty hectic to manage alongside part-time and household chores. The course content is good but fast-paced, as it is a one-year course. Jobs and internships are pretty scarce and employers expect some background experience before joining them even as an intern. Recommended to gain some work experience before pursuing a masters here.
