Computer Science (International)

Software is a global industry with a strong presence in Dublin, considered the Silicon Valley of Europe. This program will provide you with the knowledge and skills to work as a global software engineer or as an application developer, able to develop as needed in an ever-changing global industry. Upon graduation, you’ll be qualified to work in the international IT industry in a wide range of computer roles. You’ll have a strong foundation in such areas as Internet development, cloud computing, mobile software, enterprise systems, artificial intelligence, and games technology. You’ll learn IT skills early on that are required in the international IT industry, including core software design and development skills as well as highly sought-after international skills such as global citizenship, software localization, entrepreneurship, and creating webinars. You can also select to study a foreign language (German, Chinese or Korean). In Year 3, you can undertake an international industrial placement in an IT company. In addition, all Year 3 students participate in the Global Classroom, a virtual, online classroom comprised of teams of international students on exchange at our international university partners. This emphasizes the importance of globalization and simulates how a team can design and develop software with team members in different locations.

In the final year, you can specialize in a variety of areas such as Enterprise Systems Development, Applied Intelligence, or Digital Games Development & Simulation. Through sponsorship and project cooperation, TU Dublin has strong links with global industry companies such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM. Students can showcase their final-year projects at our project fair and meet with industry company representatives.
