Prathmesh: I hail from Mumbai and pursued my BE in Information Technology from Mumbai University and passed out in the year 2019. I pursued various freelancing and internship projects and finally got placed in a software company called GEP and worked there for 2 years. I appeared for IELTS and scored 7.5 in it. Colleges I applied to include - Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and Dublin City University. At present, I am pursuing my master's in Artificial Intelligence from Dublin City University.  

What made you choose to study abroad? 

P: A lot of factors influenced my decision of studying abroad. One of them is a practical approach to teaching which involves self-exploration and a lot of research. Secondly, studying abroad opens up a wide range of opportunities for an individual which is essential for one’s personal and professional development.   

Which course and country did you choose and why? 

P: I chose to pursue my Masters in Artificial Intelligence because I like analyzing data. It is believed that data is going to be the next form of a black hole. I chose to study in Dublin, Ireland because Dublin is home to European’s Fortune 500 organizations, thus a number of opportunities are available here for students who have a background in data-related fields.
