📚About the Program

The first year curriculum is common for all degrees in the Department of Computer Science, MTU Bishopstown Campus. All first year students study the same modules and this means that students can transfer to another programme within the Department in year two if they meet the CAO entry requirements for that programme when they enter MTU Bishopstown Campus, Cork. This offers great flexibility for qualifying students who may wish to change programmes after year one. This flexibility allows a student to make a more informed decision one year into their studies. The programme provides students with the knowledge, skills and competencies in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity and is designed around five key strategic pillars; Cyber Security, Networking, Cloud Computing Technologies, Automation, and IT Management. In year 3, work placement begins in January. Placements for students are organised on a country-wide basis with a particular focus on Cork and Dublin. Students may also choose to work abroad. With the Erasmus programme, students travel to study at MTU from across Europe and many MTU students travel to study beyond our shores. The department has strong links with institutions in Germany, Sweden, France, and Finland. The programme provides graduates with both the management and technical skills to work in a wide range of organisations. At a time when reliance on secure IT systems grows more critical, there is an increasing need for graduates with the skills required to manage IT services and implement complex projects securely. This programme is specifically designed to address these needs. Show less
