Bachelor of Science (Honours) Computer Science and Information Technology

University of Galway

We depend on electronic devices, such as computers and mobile phones, computer software and networks to store, process, transmit, retrieve and manipulate information. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology will cover the technology used in these devices and will focus on the development of the software applications that make these devices useful. In each year, students take a set of compulsory modules and will select some optional modules from a set of available options. The core subjects provide a solid theoretical and applied background in Computer Science and Information Technology. These include the fundamentals of programming, algorithms, software engineering, database and data managements, human computer interaction, professional skills, networking, and computer systems. In the final year students undertake a final year project and a number of modules including machine learning, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity among others. These modules are complemented with modules offered from other disciplines including mathematics, statistics, philosophy, bioinformatics.
