The modules below are indicative of the content associated with this course of study.
The modules are subject to change as the curriculum is revised and reviewed annually. Please check periodically for updates.  | Year 1 | | | Subject Overview
>Computer Science at Maynooth University is the study of the principles and use of computers and software.
>Advanced topics such as computer vision, theoretical computer studies, robotics, cryptography and artificial intelligence may be studied, depending on the pathway students take.
>Students enjoy the huge benefit of studying other Arts subjects with Computer Science in first year. This lends graduates a wider frame of reference. There is a wide variety of options after first year.
>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. 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 Centre, extensive assistance during practical work and we are 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.
