I chose to study Commerce because I had always been interested in understanding more about the business world. Apart from learning more about accountancy, I wanted to acquire skills for entrepreneurship and this degree was a perfect fit for me. I took a leap of faith and came to Dublin all the way from India. Three years later I can confidently say that it has been a life-changing journey. UCD opened my eyes to new possibilities through its diverse modules and unprecedented support it provides. I owe my success in securing an internship opportunity with Xilinx and a job offer from Ernst and Young to the skills I have gained through my time here in UCD.”
