Seetal Somasundaran is from Thrissur, Kerala in India and studied a BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance with DBS. She now works in the Finance Team with the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) in Dublin's Grand Canal Dock.
"Successfully completing my degree with DBS helped me when being selected for a graduate programme in one of the Big Four audit firms in Ireland. It laid a strong foundation which helped me then complete my professional accountancy qualification.
I had wanted to obtain a professional accountancy qualification and the BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance was the best course to take to start towards that goal and gain a foundation.
The course content and structure was very helpful in gaining entry to EY (Ernst & Young) as a Graduate Trainee and it also provided exemptions from CAP 1 ACA exams. Also, the time I spent in the college during the course also helped me to integrate into Irish culture and to make friends. Even though I was new to the country and culture, it was very easy to fit into the class and understand the topics.
I felt that the well tailored course laid a strong foundation for my future career and also the support provided to me throughout the course being an international student was the best thing about studying at DBS."
