 | Details |
| | The Master of Science in Software Engineering degree at NUIM exposes graduates in computer science and related disciplines to the many facets of this complex area – the technical, the methodological, the organizational – so that successful participants will subsequently be able to lead major projects in software engineering in many industrial and commercial sectors.
This course has been funded under the Graduate Skills Conversion Programme, significantly reducing the fees payable by students. |
 | Entry requirements |
| | Admission will normally be restricted to graduates who have achieved a good honours degree in Computer Science or a discipline involving significant amounts
of practical and theoretical issues in computer science. Note that this degree requires students to have a good initial knowledge of Computer Science, and ability in Mathematics. Applications from highly qualified students from Ireland Institutes of Technology are welcomed. Ideally, applicants will have experience of
working on industrial software engineering projects. The number of places on the degree is limited and consequently admission is on a competitive basis. Thus,
we cannot guarantee admission even if you meet the entry requirements. |
