MSc in Management Consultancy - Batch of 2024

On-campus paid part-time jobs are very limited and competitive.
Tips: There will be a significant cultural shift for those coming from India; from the weather to the people and food, everything is quite different and new in a positive way. UCD offers numerous scholarships, and students can apply through the online portals; I know many students who got them.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Public transportation in Dublin is good, with numerous buses serving the campus. A nearby D-ART station also makes the long commute easier for students. The campus is well-connected, and students can obtain a student Leap card valid for all public transport, costing just 1 euro for a single journey.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus paid part-time jobs are very limited and competitive. Most students, around 90% find jobs off-campus in retail, grocery stores, schools, etc. With this course, a 20-hour part-time job is manageable, with an average payout ranging from 12e to 15e.

The college offers a perfect mix of academics and community.
Tips: Students should know that the college offers strong academic support and faculty members. So being open to participation really enhances the experiences. My transition here involved adapting to their teaching methods and independent learning. Overall, I feel satisfied with the university and the programme I chose.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The college offers a perfect mix of academics and community. A typical day involves classes, discussion and then relaxing with friends in the library. What I enjoy most is the friendly, multicultural environment where you meet people from different parts of the world.
Dislikes (Value for money): The faculty blend academic expertise with industry knowledge, making every session meaningful. They are approachable and encourage open dialogue, which makes learning engaging beyond lectures. What stands out in their methodology is the balance between conceptual clarity and practical exposure through group projects, case studies, and guest lectures.

Excellent college but average course.
Tips: Personally, I did not suffer culture shock since I had already studied in the UK before joining UCD. The University is good and the professors are friendly. I do think that the MSc program in Supply Chain Management leans too heavily on the theoretical and that it would have been much better if UCD had offered summer internships instead of the project that we got in the third trimester. There are various events and seminars on-campus so try to participate in it and build connections. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

Diverse university and fun student life.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that it offers a supportive and diverse learning environment. The transition was smooth, although I experienced a cultural shift in teaching methods and campus interactions, which helped me personally and academically.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is highly knowledgeable and supportive. The faculty in my department are very accessible, always open to clarifying doubts and encouraging one-on-one discussions. Their teaching methodology is unique, as it combines practical case studies.
Dislikes (Public transportation): While the campus is reasonably connected to the city, there are some limitations. Buses and trains are available but schedules can be consistent and certain are require multiple transfers. Public transport moderate affordable but speak hours can be crowded.

The faculty are extremely warm, approachable, and adaptable to assessments and teaching methods.
Tips: Moving to Dublin can be expensive, and a part-time job is often necessary for financial comfort, especially if you don't want to rely on your parents. Be aware that the Western academic structure is somewhat different, emphasizing research and independent study and exploration.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty in my department are extremely warm, approachable, and adaptable to assessments and teaching methods. They provide one-on-one support when needed and are responsive to feedback. They are also very helpful and kind.
Dislikes (Value for money): While the university facilities are generally good, I found that towards the end of the year, many things were lacking, particularly when it came to booking and using lab rooms, which should be departmental responsibilities. Sports and food facilities are good, but there are many issues within the departments, and you wonder where the money goes.
