A warm welcome awaits you in Ireland at UCD
Study in the most international university in Ireland
My experience in UCD prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career. I would never forget the supportive classmates, and professors who were nothing short of champions. Getting my Master's improved my ability to communicate, innovate, and collaborate with people. I was challenged to discover a voice I didn’t know I had. That voice played an important role in finding a job after college. I am currently working as Diagnostic Technologist with Abbott Ireland Diagnostics Division, Longford.
