I opted the Architectural Technology in ATU due to its hands-on approach and inclusion of continuous assessments. Throughout the four-year degree, my understanding of construction and the industry steadily grew, with each year bringing new knowledge and insights.

During the third year, I earned a BIM Visualizations certificate, which involved submitting internal and external renders of a detailed design project as part of a competition. The university atmosphere is truly unique, with approachable lecturers and supportive staff, making it enjoyable to attend classes. From the canteen staff to the lecturers, everyone is friendly and ready to offer support.

In my fourth year, my classmates selected me as the student representative, entrusting me with the responsibility of conveying any ideas or feedback within the group and fostering better interaction between students and lecturers. Having recently graduated, I now work as a BIM Engineer with John Sisk & Sons in Galway.
