The Student Perspective

Ifeyinwa is an international student from Nigeria who studied the MSc in Digital Marketing, graduating in 2024. In the below blog she tells us about her journey from Lagos to DCU and what it was like transitioning to life in Dublin. 

"Four months into my Irish adventure, I can confidently say that I am content with my decision. Of course, I miss the familiar faces and flavours of home, but technology keeps me connected. In the meantime, I am relishing the opportunity to carve out a new life for myself – making friends, learning new ways, and embracing the rich tapestry of experiences that Dublin has to offer."

In the below blog Karly Korte an international student from the United States tells us about her journey from Industry back to Education to study the MSc in Science and Health Communication here at DCU. 

"I even surprised myself with how quickly I was able to make friends in Dublin. There are loads of people within the university and outside of it in the city who are in a similar situation- deciding to uproot themselves abroad to pursue opportunities. Within barely any time at all Dublin and DCU felt like home."

In this blog, Neha Gupta an international student studying the MSc in Computing gives an insight into what an Indian Student's life is like at DCU.

"Honestly, there's always something happening around DCU. You can't walk through the campus without stumbling into some event or another, especially around the U building. It's the hub of student life here. There are loads of student-run services too, so it's hard to get bored. Instead, you find yourself getting involved in something new every few days."

"Another highlight of DCU is the diversity of its student body. I've met students from all over the world since I joined the International Society. We celebrate each other's cultures, share tales about our home countries, and even organise group trips around Ireland. My experience has been enhanced and Dublin has become more like home because of this sense of community."
