Student Profile	“The skills and opportunities I have got from my Commerce degree are second to no other business degree in Ireland. I’ve gained the technical knowledge to pursue my chosen career and also the interpersonal skills to go about achieving this. During my degree I had the opportunity to study in Canada for one semester and it was one of my greatest experiences; experiencing a different culture and making friends from all over the world. Lots of my classmates have done internships with some of the biggest and most exciting companies in the world also. Whatever area of business you are interested in, the UCD BComm is a great starting point.” Kevin Coleman, Student
