Computer Science (Common Entry)
Profile
You will learn about the basics of computing/software development, and then decide which of the specialisms you think best suits your personal interests, strengths and plans. Through the use of specialist streams, we can quickly react to industry trends, while always ensuring that you will become a strong programmer/software developer.
You get to choose your specialism after first year, when you will know more about those strengths/interests. During year three of the programme, students embark on Work Placement (or study abroad). Most students find paid employment during this time.
This is a four-year full-time programme, and will prepare you for an exciting career in computer science and software development with specialisms in:
- Automotive and Automation Systems
- Computer Forensics and Security
- Cloud and Networks
- Games Development
- Internet of Things
This degree programme is the longest running in SETU Waterford and our graduates are amongst the most nationally sought-after computing graduates.
