	Details
	The BSc in Multimedia, Mobile and Web Development provides students with the core understanding and competencies necessary to develop mobile, web-based, and multimedia information systems and applications. This programme complements the BA Digital Media and the BSc Computer Science and Software Engineering courses by focusing on the technical aspects of developing software for multimedia, mobile and web systems. As a student, you will develop expertise in systems-level and applications-level programming concepts through modules in programming, scripting, databases and networking. You will also study software engineering (design, analysis and testing), where the focus is on large-scale systems modelling and development, as well as foundational and theoretical aspects of computer science. Students also develop expertise in communicating information effectively with the help of modules in visual communication, usability and cognitive science. Students will be well-prepared for a career in the technical development and operation of sophisticated web-based systems, and have both the theoretical and practical skills needed for the development of mobile and web applications. Applicants are required to have a minimum of six subjects in the Irish Leaving Certificate with two Higher Level papers at C3 and four Ordinary or Higher Level papers at grade D3

Entry requirements

	Course structure
	Multimedia, Mobile and Web Development is taken as a Single Honours Bachelor of Science degree. In First Year, students take Computer Science, Mathematics, and two other subjects from Biology, Chemistry, Experimental Physics, Mathematical Physics. Students who do not wish to continue with the BSc Multimedia, Mobile and Web Development after First Year may transfer to MH203 Computer Science and Software Engineering or MH201 Science, continuing with Computer Science, Mathematics, and/or their other Science subjects. In Second, Third and Fourth Year, students take Computer Science and Multimedia topics only. In Third Year, students must complete a six-month work placement. A Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Software Engineering is also available. This covers the foundation and theory of computer science as well as the practice of general-purpose software design and construction. See page xxx for details. A Bachelor of Arts Digital Media degree, concentrating on digital media content, is also available. Click here for further details
