There are different kinds of computing degrees, and students often find it difficult to know which option suits them best before they begin their college course. DCU is unique, however, in that you can transfer between this programme and the B.Sc. in Enterprise Computing by the end of first year.

The B.Sc. in Computer Applications (CA for short) and the B.Sc. in Enterprise Computing (EC for short) are aligned in first year so that it is possible for students to transfer from the CA degree to the EC degree and vice versa. SEE CONDITIONS FOR TRANSFERRING DEGREES IN PARAGRAPH BELOW

This means that if you are unsure as to whether you will like programming you can try it out in the CA degree and decide whether it suits you or not. If not, you have the option of transferring to the EC degree which has much less emphasis on programme and more emphasis on the management and business aspects of IT.

PLEASE NOTE CONDITIONS FOR TRANSFER: CA students who wish to transfer to the EC programme at the end of Semester one may do so without condition. Students who transfer to the EC degree at the end of Semester two may do so, but will be expected to obtain five credits in the module Introduction to Marketing during their remaining three years.
