This one-year Computer Science course introduces the learner to the digital architecture and theoretical concepts underpinning IT infrastructure and Software Development. You can Study essential topics such as STEM Maths, Programming, Software Architecture and Web Authoring, Python and Java and Maths for Information Technology.

This Level 5 Computer Science course gives student an excellent opportunity to learn computer programming. This course covers the abstract concepts required to become a successful programmer, in a small class setting, where questions are welcomed and discussion encouraged. Learning the fundamentals of computer science including software development, software testing, web design, mobile technologies, and database design.

We depend on electronic devices, such as computers and mobile phones, computer software and networks to store, process, transmit, retrieve and manipulate information. Students will cover the technology used in these devices and will focus on the development of the software applications that make these devices useful.

Study all the essentials of computing and software for mobile apps and websites, as well as key areas in mathematics, a major project and a six month placement in industry. Enjoy the huge benefit of studying another Arts subject with Computer Science in first year. This lends graduates a wider frame of reference.

Study all the essentials of computing and software, as well as key areas in mathematics, a major project and a six month placement in industry. Acquire hands-on programming skills and advanced problem solving techniques in our new dedicated computer science building (Eolas). You will study another Science subject or Critical Skills with Computer Science and Mathematics in first year.

B.A. (Mod) in Computer Science, Linguistics and a Language. CSLL combines the study of Computer Science; a natural language, either Spanish, French or Irish; and Linguistics.

The computer science component of CSLL seeks to impart a mastery of the techniques and technologies that lie behind what you see on the screen of one of today's computers, giving you a full understanding the computer applications of today, and enabling you to participate in the development of the applications of the future.

Combining Computer Science with Economics will allow graduates to use computing tools to study economics and to apply economic theories to computational settings, such as to build virtual marketplaces.

Our long-running Computer Science and Business joint programme provides graduates with the knowledge and expertise needed to work in the technical field of Computer Science along with the business management skills required to understand the fundamentals of markets, organisations and business management.

This course is designed to provide a foundation in programming and software development. As well as learning the technical skills needed to write software, computational methods and problem solving will be a key component of this course.

On successful completion students wishing to acquire a higher level of professional software development skills can avail of progression routes onto our Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Software Development or alternatively may apply via the CAO onto an undergraduate degree programme in a range of third level institutions. Assessment will be through continuous assessment and examinations.

A computer system engineer combines knowledge of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to develop, test, and evaluate software for personal computers and more. Students will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of computer systems, embedded systems, systems programming and real-time systems, along with knowledge and understanding of modern computer architectures.

The primary focus of this course is on developing your technical and practical skills with computers and with the basics to allow you to work as part of a team in a support capacity in maintaining ICT infrastructure in an organisation. The fourth semester in year two provides students with the opportunity to get experience of a work placement and to put into practice what they have learned in the Institute.

This course is designed to introduce the learner to the fundamentals of installation, configuration and maintenance of computer systems and basic networks. It also facilitates progression in education including further and higher, education or training.

This full-time course is designed to give students the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to implement and support PC systems and networks. During the course students will build PCs and troubleshoot hardware issues. They install, optimise and troubleshoot both the Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and setup Local Area Networks.

Course participants will learn about the importance of security within the IT industry while also learning the fundamentals of Software Development and Website Design.

Achieve a solid foundation in hardware maintenance, systems software, computer networking, programming and scripting, database management, virtualisation, website design and web server hosting.

Ensure your progression opportunities with QQI Maths for IT – the latest alternative to leaving certificate maths.

These courses deliver a thorough grounding in Computer Systems and Networking, giving you key skills for either work or further study.

There are modules in understanding computer hardware, linking computers together into networks, basic computer languages and programming, storing and retrieving data, understanding web design and the various types of IT support

This course provides advanced training on computer systems and networking technology. Students with suitable qualifications can apply for this Level 6 award or progress from the Networking Technician level 5 course.

• Networking for home and small business
• Practical experience in computer and network maintenance
• Access to software and networking hardware
• Students complete a three week block of work experience in IT related businesses

This course will equip learners with the skills required to network and manage the proliferation of “smart” devices that will increasingly transform modern society. Employment opportunities will be enhanced as well as the opportunity to progress to further studies at Levels 6, 7 or 8 on the National Framework of Qualifications.

The combination of modules studied enables the learner to develop a broad spectrum of skills, from maintenance of networks to software systems, preparing them for employment in the rapidly expanding sector. They gain an understanding of an organisation’s technology needs in order to develop a tailored communication network platform.
