Overview

The Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) at University College Dublin students can choose from a wide selection of approximately 80 modules, organised into 5 streams: Foundations of AI, Networks and Distributed Systems, Software Engineering, Machine Learning and Data Science, and Information and Communication Sciences and Languages. You have the option to specialise in a specific stream by selecting modules exclusively from that stream or to combine modules from multiple streams.

Upon acceptance into the programme, each student will participate in personalised faculty-led Student Needs Assessment (SNA) sessions. These sessions are designed to evaluate your prior experience, identify any knowledge gaps, and clarify your career goals.

Students are offered the opportunity to undertake an internship* during the course. The following internships are examples of past placements: Amazon, SAP, Dell, Ericsson, HubSpot, HealthBeacon, Autodesk, Microsoft, Equifax, Spanish Point, Vectra AI, Adaptemy and Deciphex.
