BSc(Hons) Computer Science (International)

At TU Dublin you won’t just learn theory — you’ll build real, practical skills from early in the programme and throughout your years of study. The Computer Science (International) degree embraces hands‑on learning through group projects, industry exposure, international teamwork, and opportunities to apply your knowledge in real tech environments. You’ll work with professional tools in computing labs, participate in collaborative international classroom projects, and have options to gain industry experience either through study abroad or placement opportunities that mirror what you’ll encounter in the workforce. TU Dublin also supports you with computing‑specific services like the University’s Computing Learning Centre, where you can get free tutoring and extra hands‑on practice outside of class time.

Here’s how that translates into real experiences you’ll benefit from:

• International Industrial Placement: In Year 3 you can take an international work placement with IT companies, gaining real industry experience and adding significant weight to your CV.

• Global Classroom teamwork: Every Year 3 student participates in the Global Classroom — a collaborative virtual environment where you work with students from partner universities on real software projects, simulating global tech team experiences.

• Study Abroad opportunities: If you don’t opt for an industrial placement, you spend part or all of Year 3 studying at partner universities in Europe, Korea or China, deepening both your technical skills and intercultural competence.

• Computing Labs & Tools: You’ll use well‑equipped programming and computer labs at the Grangegorman campus to build software, test applications and work with professional‑grade technologies.

• Computing Learning Centre support: TU Dublin’s Computing Learning Centre offers drop‑in support and one‑to‑one tutoring to strengthen your skills in programming, algorithms, databases and other key areas — plus extra workshops and challenges during the year.

• Project Showcases: In later years you’ll present your own major project to peers and industry representatives at university events like the annual project fair, giving you real presentation experience and exposure to potential employers.

• Industry connections: TU Dublin’s School of Computer Science works closely with industry partners and runs engagement events that help link you with companies and potential future roles.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science (International) at Technological University Dublin are well placed to launch careers in a variety of tech-focused roles thanks to strong industry connections and practical experience built into the degree. Typical job roles include Software Developer, Mobile Software Developer, Game Developer, and Internet of Things (IoT) Developer. On finishing this programme, you’ll leave with both the technical capabilities and the global perspective that employers look for in today’s competitive international IT job market.

Here’s how TU Dublin supports your future career opportunities:
• University support services for employment: TU Dublin’s Career Development Centre helps you refine your CV and interview skills, prepares you for graduate recruitment, and connects you with employer networks through careers fairs and industry events — all tailored to computing and IT students.
