Undergraduate
The School of Computing offers two undergraduate honours degrees: the B.Sc. in Computing Applications
and the B.Sc. in Enterprise Computing.
 |
B.Sc. in Computer Applications |
| |
The School of Computing's B.Sc. in Computer Applications (CA) is Ireland's
most popular computing degree. Its practical, industry-oriented focus means
it is favoured by students and employers alike. Students will specialise in
Software Engineering and programming. CA students undertake a six month paid
work placement during the third year of their degree. This workplace
experience gives Computer Applications graduates a distinct advantage in the
buoyant graduate employment market.

B.Sc. in Enterprise Computing
:: NEW :: |
| |
The B.Sc. in Enterprise Computing (EC) is a practical four year honours
degree which prepares students for a career in Business IT Management. It
consists of three main subject areas: Computing, Business and IT Management.
The course teaches you how you can best use computing technology to allow
people to work together and give companies a competitive edge in the
marketplace. You will learn how organisations operate, and how to use
computers to improve and re-design the way they do business, and will
acquire the skills and expertise needed to deploy technology solutions at
the business front line. EC students undertake a year long paid work
placement during the third year of their degree adding to the practical
aspect and making students all the more desirable to employers.

Postgraduate
These days, even those already in employment cannot afford to ignore the power of a
postgraduate course. Continuous up-grading of skills and knowledge is now a part of almost every
career path and taking a postgraduate course is a logical progression of this process. Statistics
bear this out - the simple fact is that employment rates after graduation are higher for
postgraduates than those with primary degrees.
With this range of taught postgraduate programmes on offer from the School of Computing, graduates
have the opportunity to become specialists in focused, high-demand sectors of the employment market.
The M.Sc. in Security and Forensic Computing programme is the first of its kind in Ireland, and
the twin-strand M.Sc. in Bioinformatics (jointly delivered with the School of Biotechnology) and
M.Sc. in Electronic Commerce (jointly delivered with DCU Business School) are unique in Europe.
The M.Sc. in Software Engineering aims to help meet the demand of industry for personnel with
significant exposure to advanced topics in the field. The one-year full-time European M.Sc. in
Business Informatics equips graduates with an in-depth understanding of the business applications
of information and communications technology (ICT).
The School's Graduate Diploma/M.Sc. in Information Technology is suitable for graduates of
any discipline other than computing, and provides students with an in-depth knowledge of IT and
the practical skills to apply it effectively.
Significantly, all of our postgraduate programmes come with fee support, meaning that most EU
students pay only a small portion of the total fee themselves.
The School of Computing are accepting applications for the postgraduate courses up to the
beginning of the semester (early September). For further enquiries contact:
