MSc in Marketing - Batch of 2026

Research thoroughly before joining.

Tips: Know wisely, be prepared, and do not think about figuring out later; always have a backup. I did not avail myself of the scholarships but keep an eye out for those. Transition was smooth, depending on the people you find. Be curious, be gentle, be kind and always treat others with respect.

Likes (Part time work): The average payout is the minimum wage recently; it is pretty straightforward to be honest. UCD has many on-campus opportunities but the competition is tough, so be prepared. Even off-campus is not bad at all. The way to manage your work is to have a talk with your managers so that they know your availability, which will make it a little easier. Honesty is work, so do not take things too seriously but be responsible always. Also you can find work on the next day or maybe in 5 months so that is the luck factor.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Depends on the jobs you can find to sponsor. I always stress two things: your luck and experience so if you find one it is great. Always help everyone, no matter who or what race they are from. Be active, respect the community, and be proud of your hard work.

MSc Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) - Batch of 2023

3.1

Higher fees and numerous modules in CSNL.

Tips: If you have skills, you can join any college and get a good job. This is a safe option and the only one as far as I know, that gives internship modules in the 3rd sem. TCD is more academically oriented. UCD is one of the most expensive options, but the CSNL has a lot of modules.

Likes (Student Life): It offers a lively, supportive and inclusive environment. The library is good, they have cafes, lots of buildings, a huge campus. They arrange cultural fests like Diwali and Halloween. Excellent campus, lots of options to enrol in extracurricular activities like gym, swimming, sports, etc.

Dislikes (Indian Food): 1 veg option may be available in every restaurant, and vegan restaurants are not good. Taste is below average, and the high cost of living. I strongly prefer cooking my own vegetarian meals, but grocery shopping prices have been gradually increasing. Some restaurants offer cheaper takeaway and cash discounts.

Global learning experience at UCD.

Tips: Students should know and get prepared for the independent life cycle, cultural shift and much more, be open and you will adapt. Just give some time to Dublin. I got a full scholarship as my marks were above 95 in 12th grade. I am completely satisfied with UCD and I also have a full-time job now.

Likes (Value for money): Student life is vibrant and balanced. A normal day is lectures, practicals, events and food, spending time with friends; you get to meet students from all over the world. There are countless activities and sports on campus. Something for everyone so be open to everything.

Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty at UCD is highly approachable and supportive, professors are always open to questions and always challenge us to think out of the box, we have faculty from almost all the nation, the teaching way is a very practical approach. Assignments are also pretty smooth.

A rewarding and globally enriching experience with strong academic and real world exposure.

Tips: International students should be prepared for an independent learning environment, a diverse campus and a high cost of living in Dublin. The transition is smooth though there will be a cultural shift of informal communication, emphasis on critical thinking and a more balanced lifestyle. Overall the experience is very rewarding with strong academic exposure and good career opportunities.

Likes (Internships): UCD provides a lot of on campus activities and they offer a lot of clubs to for students to join and engage themselves in extracurricular activities. There is a range of clubs to join based on everyone's interests. The clubs regularly keep events and activities for the engagement of the students.

It is a really good option for those who want a multidisciplinary experience.

Tips: You will be quite busy due to assignments and exams but if you manage your time properly, you will have a lot of time for yourself. There is a housing crisis going on so start searching for accommodation as soon as possible. Due to current attacks on Indian students, you must be prepared to face some racism also as it is quite common in city centre area.

Likes (Student Life): Student life here at UCD is quite good. I have joined a few clubs like dancing and the international students society which also takes us on several trips. Our college organised several events such as a job fair to help us connect with different companies and their recruiters.

Dislikes (Internships): Getting an internship in my field is difficult even when you have experience. And international student companies usually prefer candidates who don't need sponsorship and are permitted to work full time. Initially, stamp2 people are permitted to work only 20 hours.

A rewarding academic experience at UCD Smurfit, Dublin, Ireland.

Tips: Before joining students should be aware that Dublin has high cost of living especially for accommodation so planning finance in advance is very important. It is also good to start looking for housing early and be mentally prepared for a competitive part time job market understanding your course structure and being ready for independent learning will help. People are friendly and welcoming and being part of student communities really helps in setting in. I did not avail any scholarships but UCD does offer merit based scholarships for international students these are usually applied for during the admission process and can provide partial fee waivers depending on your profile. Overall I'm quite satisfied with my university course and life in Ireland the academic experience exposure and quality of life have been very good making it a valuable international experience.

Likes (Public transportation): I rated public transportation as 5 because it is reliable well connected and makes computing around Dublin quite easy. The University College Dublin Smurfit campus is well liked to the city center and surrounding areas through Dublin bus routes and nearby access to luas and D-ART services Most student use buses regularly which run frequently and connect UCD to key locations like the City center Dundrum and other residential areas Public transport is also quite affordable with the student leap card offering discounted fares. Overall it is convenient accessible and efficient for daily travel.

Dislikes (Part time work): I went with a two for part-time work mostly because trying to land a job in Dublin is honestly such a grind at first. UCD doesn’t really have many roles on campus, and the ones they do have are impossible to get, so basically everyone ends up working in retail or at some random cafe. While you can technically do 20 hours a week, trying to balance that with a heavy course load is a lot tougher than it sounds. The pay is usually around 14 to 16 euros an hour, which is alright for groceries and stuff, but it definitely doesn't touch the actual cost of living here.
