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,

B

Hi ufo9038,

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