M.Sc in Artificial Intelligence

After receiving a scholarship from undergraduate results I decided to pursue a full-time taught Masters in Artificial Intelligence. The course was divided into trimesters, each worth 33% of the overall degree. The first and second trimesters consisted primarily of modules, containing assignments, projects and final exams, with 6 modules in each. The third trimester consisted of a research project. The topic I chose was 'Knowledge Graph Embeddings to implement Explainable AI'.
I received a First-Class Honours Degree.

B.E. in Electric and Computing

I chose to study undenominated engineering as my undergraduate degree at NUIG. This four year program allows you to choose the discipline of engineering after the first year. I chose the Electronic and Computing discipline which involved an 8-month internship where I worked at SAP Galway.
I chose modules in the software stream and became interested in AI. For my final year project, I created a football heading platform which measured the forces of an event and analysed them using machine learning.
I received a First-Class Honours Degree.

A.A. in French

As my undergraduate degree didn't contain any continuation of foreign language studies I decided to pursue a part-time diploma during my first two years. This involved weekly classes, assignments, and end of semester exams.
From undergoing this diploma I graduated with a fluency in French, equivalent to CEFR C1.
I received an Upper Second-Class Honours Degree.
