Computing - Applied Computing

The Higher Diploma in Science in Applied Computing aims to provide a career route into the IT sector for graduates whose primary degree is in a discipline other than computing. The Institute of Technology, Tralee recognises the need to provide continuing professional development opportunities for graduates in the region.

The programme has been revised to meet the current needs of the ICT sector for graduates of cognate disciplines that require a conversion programme to allow them graduate entry level to the ICT sector. In one academic calendar year, this course will provide the non-IT graduate with core skills in the areas of software development, networks, web design, databases and software testing.
