This programme aims to provide a flexible, part-time, blended learning route for students to gain the necessary professional skills, conceptual frameworks, methods, technologies and hands-on experience of software development as a basis for a career in the IT industry. Students also acquire specialised knowledge of specific IT topics, particularly in the area of software development and database systems, and develop advanced research and/or development skills.
The programme is offered jointly by NUI Galway and Regis University, Denver, USA. As the programme is delivered completely on-line, it is particularly suitable for students who are in full-time employment who wish to re-skill or update their IT competencies. Due to its on-line delivery format, students can study where and when they want providing increased flexibility for the learner Application forms are available online at: www.pac.ie.
