The education here is nothing short of exceptional; the dedicated staff not only encourages critical thinking but also fosters genuine growth in every student.

I am doing a part time evening master here and I'd highly recommend it. The infrastructure is great, the campus is very well located (near the DART and Luas stops and 15 minutes on foot from O'Connel Street) and most of the lectures and lecturers are great as well. However, there are some points I wish they could improve to help part-time students to keep going with their studies: calendars should be released earlier - part time evening students usually have full time jobs and anything out of the original planned schedule needs to be organised in advanced; the library could open on Sundays as well - sometimes that's the only day in the week we actually have some time to study as part-timers; most exams I've had so far asked us to memorise quotes and itens rather than to use critical thinking - which I found very weird for a level 9 course. In general, I really like the college and from what I heard about other institutions in Dublin, they are very organised but if you're thinking about applying for a part time evening course consider that your needs as a part-timer won't always be considered.

Just started my Masters there and I'm still amazed with all support received at NCI. They really take the learning process and career seriously. Super recommended!

I just finished year one of the part-time Masters in Marketing at NCI, I am really impressed with the lectures and course modules/structures compared to other colleges I have previously attended. It makes a huge difference to have lectures with so much industry experience. The class sizes are great and the college itself accommodates part-times students so well. Location is very central, plus it has a car park. Really couldn't ask for much more, looking forward to my second year.

As a master student, NCI definitely helped me to realise my potential and presented with abundant opportunities. We had fantastic professors for most of the subjects in data analytics and course structure is exhaustive with new developments in data analytics. International office and other student services are very supportive. Especially Sheila - international office administrator - been great help and was great help since I joined nci. Career services are excellent and I always got to know about all the opportunities relevant to my skills and course. Helen - career office administrator knew most of the students personally and always encouraged them to apply for various posts. Now I am not the brightest and most talented student out there but I was able to land up with my dream job. Personally, i think my decisions to do masters from Ireland in data analytics is paid off very well. I am writing this review to help my friends from india who are worried about college reputation and opportunities. NCI is amazing institute with wonderful people.

I found the whole NCI experience rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable. The course content was very good and the majority of lecturers were first class. The NCI environment is also a great place to study and learn. I would definitely recommend the MSc in Marketing as a way of furthering your career opportunities.

NCI is a great college, I studied here part-time and it was very handy to get to class after work as it's right in the centre of Dublin, I just hopped on the LUAS. Love the area, nice and buzzy and loads of places nearby to grab food or a coffee too. Everyone in my class got on great, shared notes and study tips and made good friends. Lecturers were v good, notes always available online and felt like they were always available over email or phone or for a chat after class.

Would highly recommend this college to anyone who is starting education or retuning. I have never heard a bad thing about the college. The staff and lecturers are always available to help any student in distress.

NCI is by far one of the best and most friendliest colleges I have ever been to. The atmosphere in the college is second to none everyone gets on so well like one big happy family! With the class sizes being so small, the lecturers are easy to talk to. They will always make time for any students and get to know you on a one to one basis. I would highly recommend the to all students, young and old, where I can personally guarantee that you will enjoy every moment you send in it! :-D
