Clara's Story

“My biggest highlight of the year was receiving the UCD Intel Scholarship. It was very rewarding to receive such an incredible award from a multi-national corporation which is at the cutting-edge of technology. I believe the scholarship will stand to me throughout my career and provide me with opportunities that I would previously only have dreamed of.

I also got the opportunity to participate in the Innovation Academy module, ‘Host Project Sprint’ which was very interesting. There were about twenty students in the module and we were split into three separate teams. My group consisted of people who were completing or had completed PhDs in Architecture, Medicine and Engineering as well as two students doing a Masters in Agricultural Science. It was so interesting to learn about their disciplines and to meet new people with diverse backgrounds. Our team was working with Concern to help imbed innovation into their daily activities within the organisation. Speaking to people in Concern and learning about the charity was very insightful.

I am very happy that I got the chance to complete a major part of my education in such a prestigious, world-class university and I believe that this will stand to me throughout my career. In just one year, I learned so much and am confident that it has given me all the skills and knowledge that I need to pursue a career in Data Science.”
