Diverse, approachable, and success
Tips: Every student must be confident and not have social anxiety before coming to your master's program because networking is the first step and a primary part of getting connected in terms of jobs, academics, or anything else. Try not to be afraid of failures, as multiple failures will occur on the first day itself, and that’s how you start to learn.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of faculty is enormously high at UCD. Their professionalism is above average. Average they’re teaching methodologies are unique, and they are also diverse in terms of nationality, very friendly and approachable, even for internships and teaching assistant jobs.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Try to prefer cooking for yourself, as Indian food rates and restaurants cost more than what a student can afford. Getting Indian groceries like basic tomatoes and onions is more affordable. Also, the food quality is higher in general, so students can stay healthy and eat well.

.........................
Tips: You have to walk a lot, public transport may just drop you 15- 20 minutes away from your destination. I received a 40% academic excellence scholarship due to my merits in my bachelor's degree. I'm very satisfied living in Ireland and studying engineering management at UCD.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of options in restaurants and in grocery stores to eat as you do at home in your country. Eating outside is very expensive, and cooking yourself is much more feasible. Groceries are about 1/10th the cost of eating out or ordering in.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are limited part-time jobs on campus due to the sheer number of students on campus. Part-time work is manageable alongside studies. Part-time work pays enough to pay rent and bills and even save if you're lucky enough. You get paid around 900-1200 on a student visa, but most employers will give you over 20 hours if requested for it, paying you more.

MSc / PhD in Mathematics & Statistics - Research - Batch of 2027

UCD, where brilliance meet opportunities
Tips: The university has a very nice academic environment along with fine opportunities, but the fees are a bit high comparatively. So it's better to look through the fellowship/scholarship options and secure one if possible. Also, Dublin weather is not so nice most of the year; it's mostly cloudy and rainy without sun, so be prepared.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): It's easy to get permanent residence after 5 years. The tax regulations are very beneficial. The housing costs are a bit high but manageable. Also the people are nice. The city is multicultural, with a variety of Indian stores where you can get your everyday essentials and cook food to suit your home tastes.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The bus service is not that reliable. It's better to have a bicycle, which you can get at a discount price from the university. The tram/Luas system is very reliable, and also there is a train line along the coast with nice views. The train is very regular.

ONLY TRUTH AND NO BS!
Tips: There is absolutely a cultural shift, but you need to always keep in mind that you cannot afford to be lazy but always be working. For both, a career and money for sustenance are important. - I did not get a scholarship; I applied, though! - I am satisfied enough, as in 4 out of 5, because I am loving the country.
Likes (Public transportation): Good buses and LUAS. Everything is well connected and easily accessible. Buses, the Dart, and the LUAS are the most used ones to travel within the city. Even if there are no direct buses, you get the connecting ones almost on time. I had a few friends who used to take connecting routes. Most visited places are connected nicely, and major routes are active frequently.
Dislikes (Internships): I did not see any big companies coming in for internships. No doubt the faculty did help us in making our CVs and organizing events, but more exposure and hiring could have been pushed to create an on-campus opportunity to grab an internship. - Yes, there are, but you need to find them by being active on job postings on their website or LinkedIn.

Amazing wonderful Journey
Tips: Before coming to UCD, take time to review your module outlines and syllabus closely. Focus on how the academic theory connects to practical business applications in Ireland, because bridging that gap early makes a huge difference in discussions and assignments. I didn't receive any scholarship funding, so studying at UCD was a significant out-of-pocket investment. That said, UCD’s reputation in the Irish job market is top-tier and opens doors with recruiters. The workload can get intense fast, so my biggest practical tip is to hit assignment deadlines early rather than scrambling at the last minute—continuous assessment marks build up quickly here.
