University Of Limerick, Limerick Ranking 2024 from QS, THE & US NEWS

Placement:

There's no concept of placement outside of India. Only career fair where atleast 50 to 100 companies put up stalls and advertise what they have for graduate students. There is a career guidance department that helps you in honing your CV and interview skills, and they regularly touch base with you if you need any help. But that's pretty much it. You are supposed to search for jobs by yourself. Median salary for a post graduate ranges anywhere from 25k to 40k depending on your field, skillset, experience level etc.

UL was a breath of fresh air. It was a one off experience for me that I'll never have again in my life. That said, I really think the university can do better in terms of checking on their international students in terms of accommodation and actually bringing in the concept of placement. If these 2 can be taken care of, I think it'd become the most sought after university in Europe.

Placement:

You'll have lot of opportunities as a software engineer in Ireland. But you have to find the job on your own. There is no such thing like on-campus placements in UL. The pay will start from 32,000 Euros/annum and you'll be getting paid based on your experience.

My overall experience was great because this is the first time I came out from my home town and had to lead an independent life. If you are confident about yourself and have some patience in everything, you'll have a great life here regardless of the University you're choosing.

Placement:

From third semester, we search for jobs, and get it since there are a lot of opportunities after software engineering.

They keep us updating regarding number of companies having different job roles. The package varies depending on experience, and university.

They provide us internships but I didn't do any internships because it is one year course which is very short.
