The BSc (Hons) in Computing aims to develop the student’s knowledge of the theory and practice of modern computing necessary for them to secure employment and perform as ICT practitioners in a broad range of commercial, industrial and public sector environments. Graduates will have a clear understanding of the practical, theoretical and professional foundations of computing science. The programme enables and supports students to develop critical analytical skills and to develop skills in applying theoretical concepts to the practice of computing.


The programme has been prepared in line with current developments within the ICT sector and is informed by consultation with employers. A key feature is its enhanced focus on employability. The programme incorporates a mandatory 10 month work placement, which is included to ensure graduates of the programme will have the required practical application of the programme content to ensure a smooth transition into the workplace and further progression within the workplace. 


The BSc (Hons) in Computing responds to a known and often articulated skills shortage that exists in the ICT sector.   The Irish Government and Industry recognise that there is an urgent requirement to ensure an adequate supply of ICT talent and skills from both the domestic and international markets to meet needs.


It is estimated that there will be approximately 44,500 potential job openings for ICT professionals in the period 2014-2018.
