The modules are subject to change as the curriculum is revised and reviewed annually. Please check periodically for updates.  | Year 1 | | | Why not chat to Claudia - MH201 student? Computer Science at Maynooth University is the study of all the essentials of computers and software. - Students enjoy the huge benefit of studying other science subjects with Computer Science in first year with options to take different degree paths afterwards.
- Advanced topics such as computer vision, theoretical computer science, robotics, cryptography and artificial intelligence may be studied, depending on the pathway students take.
- The Department of Computer Science at Maynooth University was founded in 1987 and is located in the Eolas Building, a €20M state-of-the-art ICT hub, which opened in 2015. Our laboratories and equipment provide excellent facilities for practical work and all our courses include a mix of lectures and lab work.
- We endeavour to provide a supportive and enjoyable atmosphere for learning through our Computer Science Support Centre, extensive assistance during practical work and we are always available outside of lectures to help our students.
- Either 15 or 30 credits of Computer Science.
- If taking the 30 credit option: the extra 15 credits are timetabled outside of groups 1-6 so you may choose other subjects from groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.
- Only one of these can be taken as a double subject since the extra 15 credits for each are taught at the same time: Anthropology, Computer Science, German (beginner), History, International Development, Law, Sociology, Spanish (beginner).
- Recommend O3/H7 Leaving Certificate Mathematics.
