There's a recession on - what's the situation with jobs for computing graduates?

One can never predict what the situation will be like when you graduate in one or two years time, but all indicators point to there being a glut of jobs for computing graduates. See here: http://www.computing.dcu.ie/prospective/prospects/ for details on jobs in computing - this is up-dated regularly with new jobs that have become available for people with high-level computing skills..

I'm thinking of doing the conversion course (Grad Dip in IT) - will I be well suited to studying computing?

If you are technically minded, a good problem solver, have a logical mind and have an interest in computers (other than just for Facebook!) then computing may be the way to go for you.

I'm thinking of doing the conversion course (Grad Dip in IT) - do I need to know anything about computing beforehand?

You'll be glad to know you don't have to have ANY prior knowledge of computing - we teach you everything you need to know! (well, it might help if you know how to use a mouse but if you don't we'll teach you that too!)

Who are the Chairs of the Programmes?

See the People page for a list of Programme Chairs.

How do I contact the Chair of the Programme?
