Why Study Computing?

Did you know that there is a severe shortage of computing graduates?

High-tech skills, such as those held by computing graduates, are keenly sought after and highly valued globally.

Now is a great time to choose your future in Information Technology and Software Engineering. Graduate starting salaries can be as much as €30K+! Check with companies about their graduate starting salaries and see!

As well as learning how computers work, you will get an understanding of the technology behind things like computer games, mobile phones, the Internet and many other computing-based products that surround us
 
Computing involves a lot of practical work, so you will have the opportunity to spend plenty of time in the labs learning useful skills that can be applied anywhere in the world.
 
Great career opportunities are still available to qualified graduates across a wide range of industries. Computing graduates work not only in the IT sector, but wherever computing technology is used, and that is in every sector of the economy.
 
Now is the perfect time to begin studying for a computing degree. Industry and government experts predict a significant skills shortage in the IT sector in the years to come. There are now fewer people entering computing-related college courses, meaning that by the time you graduate, there will be even better opportunities available to graduates in an expanding IT industry.
