Graduates of Computer Science at UCC understand how computer-based systems work and how we can harness their potential to develop the sophisticated computer applications upon which our modern world depends.

The BSc in Computer Science is a full-time four-year degree course that encompasses all aspects of computer systems (both software and hardware) and ICT (information and communication technology), including software development, database technology, computer networks, operating systems, algorithm security, and web technology and applications.

Computer Science encompasses all aspects of computer systems, software and hardware, as well as information and communications technology. Topics include software development, database technology, computer networks, operating systems, algorithms, security, web technology and applications. Graduates learn to harness the potential of these technologies to develop useful and sophisticated computer applications.

The School of Computer Science and Information Technology aims to ensure you are work-ready, and it has a mandatory work placement module in Year 3.

To complement the work placement module, you will undertake a Year 4 project, supervised by one of our academic staff. This will require you to apply your knowledge to a technological challenge of your choice and will help develop your skills and understanding of computer science.
