Bachelor of Science (Honours) Computer Engineering with Network Infrastructure

Why take this course?

A comprehensive understanding of the deployment and management of network and cloud infrastructure is a key requirement for many organisations. There is significant growth in demand for graduates with the appropriate skills in these areas with recent reports referring to the shift to Cloud as “Climate Change” for IT. In addition, various industry reports identify a shortage of network professionals with relevant Network, Cloud and Software skills. This honours degree includes modules which will assist students in taking additional assessments to gain VMware vSphere qualifications.

This programme will provide the student with skills in the design and test of medium-sized scripting applications. The programme will also cover data modelling and database design; students will also assess data storage and retrieval for large data sets required for Big Data. The student will also cover network management and enhanced network topics such as SDN. Augmented User Interaction, or AR, looks at the emergence of interaction networks across a number of domains through completing a project. Students will also research, implement, document and present a final year project in a related area.

Student Ambassador Kevin Walsh talks about the transformation we have gone through to become Ireland’s first cross regional university and how this is noticeable to him as a student through the changes he can see happening first hand on campus.

What will I experience?

TUS is a leader in computer and network engineering education.
