Students entering this programme are expected to have at least a 2.1 honours bachelor‘s degree in Computer Science (or a cognate discipline), and have a subsequent two or more years of industrial experience in software development. Prerequisite skills include a high degree of proficiency in object-oriented programming and experience in software development as part of an Agile team. Each application will however be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and exceptions to these rules may be made.

Please note that this programme is not suitable for new graduates with little or no industrial experience.

Although the modules are all delivered online, it may be essential to attend UCD to sit end-of-triemester exams, so this programme is not suitable for applicants who would need a visa to study in Ireland.
