>Acquire hands-on programming skills and advanced problem solving techniques in our new dedicated computer science building (Eolas).
>You will study another Science subject or Critical Skills with Computer Science and Mathematics in first year.
Why choose this degree? >Students enjoy the huge benefit of studying another Science subject with Computer Science in first year. This lends graduates a wider frame of reference.
>The Department of Computer Science at Maynooth University was founded in 1987 and is located in the Eolas Building, a €20M state-of-the-art ICT hub, which opened in 2015. Our new laboratories and equipment provide excellent facilities for practical work and all our courses include a mix of lectures and lab work.
>Spending time working in industry as part of your degree enhances your employment opportunities once you graduate. We endeavour to provide a supportive and enjoyable atmosphere for learning through our Programming Support Centre, extensive assistance during practical work and we are always available outside of lectures to help our students.
Options after graduation? Computing, programming and software skills are in high demand. Graphical interface design, medical imaging, video- based information systems, multimedia systems development, electronic publishing, computer-assisted translation, e-learning
