Shreks1190 As of I know, we get a 1 year work permit post MBA. We need to find a job within that duration and can extend our WP accordingly but 2otherwise we might risk leaving the country. But I need to deep dig in about the whole process. Are you planning to apply for 2016 intake ?

Hi , I too want to apply for sept 2016 intake. Even I got to know that in Ireland you get 1 year stay post MBA. So it seems OK to me. One thing, which I am not able to find is what is percentage of Indian students in UCD.

Hi guys,

I got admission with full scholarship too. Really scratching my head whether to accept the offer. I also have 3 years of experience, so might not benefit fully from the program.

Also, do you know how the program works out for career-switchers? It seems like the student cohort is pretty mature (~30 years old?) who gets an MBA to advance their current careers, rather than switching them...

If anyone has insights on these matters, please please share!

Thanks,

Hi ufo9038,

If you don't mind me asking, what was your GMAT score which got you an admit + full scholarship at UCD?
