Software Engineering
Your Course This fully online diploma ( (NFQ Level 8) provides a focused programme of study in the area of software design and development, providing an insight into technical skills and modern industry techniques. Computer programming and design are taught in the diploma, as well as a number of important software engineering methodologies. This programme is part-time and runs over one year. You will study one online module every eight weeks. Rather than being a general-purpose award in computing, the intention of this diploma programme is to provide a coherent and complementary set of in-depth modules which bring the student up to speed on relevant software development tools and techniques. A full list of core and elective modules is available at itonline.nuigalway.ie . Progression opportunities: Graduates receive a diploma, and they can progress to Year Two of MScSED. Career Opportunities The software industry includes businesses involved in the development, maintenance and publication of computer software, as well as software services such as training, documentation, and consulting. At the heart of this industry is the activity of actually building and producing computer software, which is the emphasis of this diploma. Opportunities for software developers are excellent within Ireland and internationally. Minimum Entry Requirements This degree is open to degree graduates (Level 7 or higher) and to those otherwise satisfying the postgraduate entry standards.
