Computing with Language (French/German/Spanish) is designed to address the need for Level 8 computing graduates who have a language competence. It was designed in consultation with leading companies including SAP Ireland and salesforce.com. The course subjects include software development, computer architecture, systems analysis, databases, social media communications, cloud services, interactive design, information management and applied AI. If your language ability is strong, it is possible to spend a full year abroad on condition that you study similar technical topics in the partner institution to those covered in Semester 5 of your course. Language skills are considered essential when working in a multicultural professional environment. Being fluent in a second language demonstrates cultural openness and adaptability as well as giving you a competitive edge and enhanced employability. One major employer stated: “When I see a good CV that includes a period abroad I see someone who has challenged themselves and proved their ability to be independent. I tend to reach for those first even if the foreign language isn’t essential to the role.” There’s growing demand for graduates with both IT and language skills in the ICT sector. This course will give you a thorough grounding in all the essential areas of computing, while also giving you the opportunity to develop fluency in French, German or Spanish.
