Why I Chose Ireland
What you need to know before you apply…

JASON O’CONNOR
MSc Applied Science (Environmental Science), University College Dublin
The thinking behind coming to study in Ireland was that in order to get a job in Ireland, one would need some sort of Irish qualification. UCD has modern, world-class facilities. This degree is definitely setting me up for my future career. As part of my degree I have to secure an internship and I have one lined up for the second half of this year, working as a data analyst.
Be aware that it’s expensive over here. The cost of my Master’s degree at UCT was R52 000 in 2019. As an international student my Master’s degree here is costing me €15 500 (R 294 500) after my €5 000 bursary discount. The average monthly rent within a 2km radius of UCD is €900.
