34 Technology Bachelors Degree Programs in Ireland

The BSc (Hons) in Information Technology Management involves the coordination of complex computer systems in organisations, including the selection, installation and maintenance of all computing technologies. This is a critical role as the efficient management of IT is vitally important.

The Robotics and Intelligent Devices programme focuses on the design, implementation, and use of intelligent physical things including robots, autonomous vehicles, smart sensors, and internet-of-things devices. It is accredited by Engineers Ireland and internationally recognised.

Product Design and Technology (PDT) is a learning environment that cultivates exploration and creativity. Here design students are challenged to question norms and create innovative solutions that positively affect future life experiences. Our values lie in human-centred, responsible and collaborative approaches with technological know-how.

The BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering is a full-time, four-year, honours degree course of study that can be chosen within the Engineering Common Entry Route.  This course is recognised by Engineers Ireland (EI) and prepares students for employment in the electronics industry.

From apps and websites to connected products and wearable technologies, Interaction Design is about designing the way people communicate and interact at home, work or play. Interaction designers explore the relationship between people and technology to design digital products, apps, user experiences and services.

If you want to know how computers work and learn how to develop cutting-edge computer, internet and mobile technology, choose Computer Science. Along with programming, you’ll study advanced data tools and algorithms, databases, networks and cryptography, along with other much-needed skills such as critical thinking and communications skills.

Through a blend of practice-based, self-driven practical assignments, theoretical underpinning, and studio and live venue environment learning, this is a programme geared towards those who really want to get into the detail of how to produce music, from the ground up, in diverse and contemporary production environments.

If you're interested in computer science but unsure where to specialise, the BSc Computer Science (Common Entry) is for you. You will learn about the basics of computing/software development, and then decide which of the specialisms you think best suits your personal interests, strengths, and plans.

While biotechnology is fundamentally the use of biology to solve problems and make useful products, it is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology, chemistry, genetics and other sciences. Students in this field study core disciplines such as genetics, molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, biochemistry, and cell biology as well as applied areas including genetic engineering, molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing of food and drugs.

If you are interested in a career as a second-level Mathematics and Computer Science teacher, this may be the degree for you. You will study with the Maynooth University Department of Education who are committed to reflecting on and interrogating the purposes, principles and values underpinning educational policy, practice and theory.

With the BSc in Biotechnology you’ll gain an excellent foundation in genetics, cell biology, immunology, microbiology, bioinformatics and bioprocess engineering, as well as practical laboratory skills and invaluable skills in communications, critical thinking and problem solving. In your final year, you’ll decide to take focus either on research or on learning more about the biopharmaceutical industry.

Journalism is an important, exciting and dynamic field. It tells us about ourselves. The platforms through which we tell our stories are evolving, and in UL we offer students a chance to engage with and deliver stories across all digital and social media platforms. We help develop real-world practical and critical thinking skills in students so that their journalism is informed by a balanced sense of justice, accuracy and life-experience. Over the four years our students will:

LM121 Computer Science Common Entry is designed to provide you with a gateway to better choice if you’re unsure which area you’d like to study. You can avail of a broad common first year which will introduce you to various topics in Computing. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remainder of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide.

Explore the world of computing: Delve into the principles and uses of computers and software, essential mathematics, a major final-year project, and a six-month placement in industry. Hands-on programming from day one: Build real programming skills and master advanced problem-solving techniques in Eolas, our purpose-built Computer Science building.

Data Science students take Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics and crucially will learn to appreciate the overlap between eliciting valuable information from data through statistical reasoning and managing databases via complex manipulations.
