• Since my course was a research based one, my batch mates including me are looking for PhD options, 5 of whom has secured a position within 6 months of the course.
• The average salary as a PhD student is 2200 euros per month. On top of that we get to benefit from all the student offers available in Ireland.In order to secure a PhD, we need to keep checking websites such as FENS and FINDAPHD to look for advertised positions. Additionally, we also check openings in our desires labs or personally email to our desired mentors to enquire for a position.
• Once we receive an optimal response we design a research project with the supervisor and apply for a funding which takes time upto a year to be accepted. Once the project is funded we can start the PhD till 3-5 years. 

• I found my student accommodation via WhatsApp groups and Facebook groups for students in Ireland.
• My student accommodation was 1250 euros per month and later I had changed my accommodation to a rented house, which was 700 euros. I stayed in single rooms both times. Finding accommodations is hard in Ireland. We need to be very vigilant of any scams as well. I would recommend finding legitimate WhatsApp groups and asking a friend to visit the property before finalising anything.
• It is better if accommodation is near the college but Dublin is very good in transportation, so anywhere within a 30 min radius of the college is a good option. Indian students are spread throughout the city, but mostly they stay on the southern side as it is considered much safer.

• I would say at least 60% of students get jobs within 6 months of completing their course. This is what I know from my seniors.

• My monthly rent was around 550 € (a total of 2200 € for 1 Bhk) with the water bill included. However, electricity was charged extra as per use and came to around 50 € per person.
• Challenges: Suitable apartments are difficult to find and more delays lead to an increased amount in student accommodation. In my case, I had to pay extra brokerage to secure my apartment apart from the deposit.
• My recommendation would be students should look out as early as possible; however, do not fall for a scam and verify the landlord, real estate agent or any responsible person for the deal.
• My apartment was 3 km away from the college campus. Most Indians choose student accommodation, which is situated near universities in most cases.

  • PTSB
  • Three
  • Major companies that hire graduates from your program

• I mainly used an app called Daft, which is meant for rental apartments in Ireland, but I was lucky enough to find my accommodation through whatsapp groups. I would say whatsapp groups are the best way to get directly in contact with owners and landlords.
• 550 per month was the monthly rent for my accommodation, including Wi-Fi and electricity .
• It just took a lot of time and constant effort to find accommodation since I decided to go for a shared apartment since it would be way cheaper than a student accommodation.
• I would say trying to find a shared apartment would be a better idea since you would be paying a lot less compared to a student accommodation, which would be around 1100 euros per month.
• My accommodation is 20 kms from college; it takes me 35 to 40 minutes to go by train, but by car it is 20 minutes.

• I found accommodation via friends who were already in Dublin. One of my friend was leaving dublin for India and I took over the lease agreement from him.
• Monthly rent for 2 people:- 1400 euros all facilities like dishwashers, fridge, TV, washing machine, heater were included.
• recommendations for future students:- Start finding accommodation early as there is a lot of crisis in finding accommodations, keep an eye out on scams which take place in rental properties. Also it's better if you can find contacts who can view properties for you in Dublin as that is the best way.
• My accommodation is 25 mins walk from college but the rent is a bit on the higher side.
   

• Currently no students from our batch have secured jobs, so this question is hard to answer. 
• Although students are able to get interviews at companies like Amazon and Google, no offers are being sent out yet, possible due to bad market conditions. 
• Students usually find jobs themselves online. There is no placement system in place. Although there are job fairs, these fairs are usually more targeted towards Undergraduate and EU students.

• I opted for Off campus accommodation

• I found it using online whatsapp groups and daft.ie website.

  Monthly rent is 850 €

• Facilities included:

  Kitchen (Including Microwave and Toaster)
  Washing Machine

• Challenges Faced were that there is high demand and low availability, accommodation would often get booked before you could get to confirm it.
• I would recommend future students to look for accommodation through friends/family already living in Dublin.
• My accommodation is around 4Kms away from campus.
• There is no specific locality commonly used by Indian students, Although Dublin 8 is a popular location for Trinity Students to stay.

I regularly visited off and on-campus companies' job fairs to keep myself updated on the market and to reach out directly to the companies to know the hiring process. A few, not a lot of students got placed through this process. Most of the students got jobs after finishing up college as they were mostly applying for experience roles. For graduate roles the median salary was 30K.

I chose this university as having good experience in an Insurance company back in India, I wanted to pursue my further education in the Risk Management field. Trinity was the best one to study in Ireland. Overall experience was positive, the college is very international with good infrastructure and facilities on campus. Good overall support was available to students for any problems faced during the course.

The post study placements are dependent on you and not the university. There is no concept of campus placements here. University will provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary but to use the knowledge and send out applications to find a job is dependent on the student. University does encourage and will help you if you want to continue and get a PhD.

I chose this college as Trinity ranks among the top 100 universities in the world and is the top Irish university. I've had an excellent time here and I'd definitely recommend Trinity for masters.
