BSc in Computing for Business

Every business and industry needs smart, versatile graduates who understand computing and technology, and who can make smart use of innovations like artificial intelligence, cloud computing and machine learning.

During this course, you’ll learn coding and programming, and get to grips with databases, operating systems and networks. But you’ll also study innovation and entrepreneurship, project management and presentation skills. In your last year, you can even develop your own app, and build both a prototype and a rock-solid business plan.

Real-world industry experience is incredibly valuable and as a third-year Computing for Business student, you get to immerse yourself in a business environment on a seven-month work placement. That could be with any business in Ireland, from a fast-scaling start-up to a high-tech multinational. And you can study abroad for a semester too. 

Future-proof your career

Whether you want to be a business analyst, an IT solutions architect, a project manager, a web developer or an entrepreneur, this course will give you the skills, knowledge and insight to thrive in the rapidly changing world of business.
