Our School

The School of Computer Science (City Campus) of TU Dublin is now located in state-of-the-art facilities at the Central Quad on the brand new Grangegorman Campus.

We pride ourselves on our industry engagement, our international staff, the international experiences available to students and staff and our commitment to research.

• Industry Engagement
  We offer professionally-oriented undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. programmes which are characterized by strong industry engagement through internships, industry projects, and industry accreditation. An international accreditation panel (the British Computer Society) commended our industry engagement as "exemplary".
  We are at the center of the "Silicon Valley of Europe". Dublin has the highest concentration of ICT activity in OECD countries and the second-highest concentration of ICT multinationals in the world, outside Silicon Valley. Also, the indigenous IT sector is thriving.
  Our School has established links for internships, graduate placement, and other activities with a large number of these companies, including all of the 8 of the top 10 ICT multinationals that have their European headquarters in Dublin.
  
  
• International staff
  On average one-quarter of all teaching hours in the School are taught by international staff including lecturers from non-EU countries (China, USA, Tanzania, and Brazil) and EU countries (Italy, Sweden, UK, Bulgaria, and Bosnia-Hercegovina).
  
  
• International Experiences
  The School of Computer Science in TU Dublin(City Campus) has an established and extensive track record in many aspects of international activity including the delivery of Bachelor’s degree programmes on three continents (Europe, Asia and Africa) and partnerships with international HEIs for joint programmes, student exchanges, 2+2 advanced entry arrangements, staff teaching exchanges, Erasmus exchanges and other activities.
  We have a clear vision of what we want to achieve with our International Activities, we want our School to be a global hub for connecting the highest calibre international computer science graduates with the global ICT industry.
  To achieve this
  • we will have a substantive collaboration with our closest counterpart in higher education in the top ten countries with the largest ICT sectors
  • we will fully internationalise our teaching and research programmes to ensure we attract national and international students of the highest calibre and provide them with a quality international education and placement experience
  • we will engage with multinational and indigenous companies operating in an international context to provide pathways to employment for our graduates

• Research
  At present, there are over 56 PhD students registered, 30 active research staff within the school with projects funding from Science Foundation Ireland, the Irish Research Council, Enterprise Ireland, the European Union and many of our industry partners including Huawei, Salesforce, and SAP. The School of Computer Science is active in research in a wide spectrum of disciplines such as Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Symantec Analysis, Database Systems, Big Data processing, and Networking and Security Infrastructure and Operations, Machine Translation.

  The School supports three research centres and one research group, each of them are equipped with the expertise, techniques, and facilities to deliver excellent results to make significant influences regionally, nationally, and globally.
