Attention all Final Year Students

At a time of unprecedented uncertainty in the global economy, graduates in many of the traditionally strong sectors are facing a difficult employment environment. In spite of the global recession, prospects for IT/Computing graduates remain very strong in Ireland and throughout the world. Ireland is facing a graduate supply shortfall, as the number of students studying these subjects is not adequate to meet the demands for Computing/IT graduates in virtually every sector.
Here at NUI Galway, the College of Engineering and Informatics offers well established 1-year and 2-year graduate programmes in Information Technology and Software Engineering. The programmes are open to candidates with little or no IT experience. We attract students from all faculties – Arts, Business, Engineering, Law, Science and Medicine/Health Sciences, as well as many overseas candidates. No need to worry about course fees, as our Graduate degrees are supported under the HEA – IT Skills programme, so only capitation charges apply.
