I chose this university for the vast range of the modules and flexibility in the choices of modules. This university offers great chances to enhance one's skills for the job market, plus my course also had an Intel Scholarship Program which directly led me to be a part of Intel. This was one of the main reasons for me to join DCU.

One Professor who taught me Computer Vision is Dr Paul Whelan, whose methods of teaching and research really had a great impact on me, making me able to drive my career in the field of Computer Vision.

Hostel :
On Campus Accomodations are very expensive in comparison to Off Campus Accomodations. Total living costs are around 800-1000 euros per month.
