Deepak Graduate

I graduated from the Masters in Information and Network Security in 2022 and now work as a Digital Forensic Analyst at Deloitte. 

I chose UL because it has the best cryptography module in Ireland, and the rest of the course looked really interesting. In the end, it was the forensic module that helped me most in my career I was able to clear my interview thanks to the knowledge I gained from that module. 

My time at UL was amazing. The faculty were always supportive, and the student community was friendly and inclusive. I loved that all the Indian festivals were celebrated it helped me feel at home. If I had the chance, I’d move back to Limerick. The people there are so polite and welcoming.
