Bachelor Degrees
Computer Science offers a four-year undergraduate programme leading to a BSc degree (Computer Science BSc Degree Description). Students can opt for any of four different programme streams, with a final degree in either:
or
BSc Computer Science (Web Systems Engineering)
or
BSc Computer Science (Software Entrepreneurship )
or
BSc Computer Science with Chinese
No computing experience or familiarity with computers is required or expected prior to enrolment. All students entering Computer Science take a common first year programme and then choose which of the three streams to follow during Years Two, Three and Four. Students are helped to make an informed choice between the streams by having the chance to sample the various streams in First Year. One of the modules in First Year involves visits to computing companies so that students can learn something about the range of careers available in the computing industry.
All four programmes incorporate a six-month or twelve-month period of work-experience within the IT industry during the third year. The programmes are rounded off with a substantial project completed during the final year.
Details on all Computer Science programmes are available on the UCC Calendar.
Authoritative source of individual modules is the UCC Book of Modules.
