Our daily lives rely heavily on electronic devices like computers and smartphones, along with their software and networks, to manage, process, share, access, and modify data.
The curriculum explores the underlying technologies powering these devices while emphasizing the creation of practical software applications. With a flexible structure, students can specialize in emerging tech fields such as Digital Media and Gaming, Enterprise Informatics, Energy Informatics, Computational Mathematics, Scientific Computing, and Medical/Bio-informatics.
These foundational courses deliver comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge in Computer Science and Information Technology.
Career Pathways
Graduates with a BSc in Computer Science & Information Technology possess advanced skills, preparing them for roles as professional engineers, designers, and consultants across various industries. Specializations include software engineering, digital media and gaming, IT advisory services, telecommunications, and medical informatics. IT and computing graduates enjoy excellent job prospects both in Ireland and globally. According to the government's Expert Group on Future Skill Needs, current enrollment in IT/computing programs falls short of meeting the growing industry demand across nearly all sectors.
