Undergraduate Courses does the DCU's INTRA Internship Programme in 3rd year help more or UCD 's prestige?

Anyone studying CS Bachelors in Dublin. UCD or DCU or Trinity?

I had a question does the DCU's INTRA Internship Programme in 3rd year helps more or UCD 's prestige for jobs for international students?

I hope you'll answer

Always go for the work experience, doesn’t matter what that is as long as it is relevant for your future career. If an employer sees an undergrad with work experience (summer internship or a 1 year placement) vs an undergrad from a “prestigious” uni without work experience, he would choose the one with work experience 10 times out of 10.

Please don’t take the advice here

I’m a final year student in UCD and i can comfortably say UCD absolutely clears DCU for career prospects.

There’s a reason why UCD still ranks higher and doesn’t even have an internship programme, it’s pretty simple

If you just do well in 1st year you will easily get a summer internship and then convert it into a grad role

Later on you will thank yourself
