Our School

The School of Computer Science (City Campus) is located in state-of-the-art facilities at the Central Quad on the TU Dublin Grangegorman Campus. We take pride in on our strong links to industry, our international staff community, the international experiences we offer to our students and our deep 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 located in the heart of Dublin, right on the doorstep of the Silicon Docks, one of the World’s leading technology hubs. Ireland has the highest share of jobs in the ICT sector of any EU country, and more than half of those jobs are in Dublin, where over 90,000 people work in the sector. Sixteen of the world’s 20 largest technology companies have a strategic presence in Ireland, many with their European base in Dublin, and Ireland is home to 18 of the EU’s 324 unicorn companies.

  Our School has established links with many of these companies, as well as with Irish start-ups and SMEs, for internships, graduate placements, industry projects and research collaboration.
  
  
• 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, Sudan, Jordan, Egypt and Brazil) and EU countries (Italy, Croatia, Sweden, Spain, UK, North Macedonia, 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 aim to:
  • collaborate with leading universities in countries with major ICT sectors.
  • internationalise our teaching and research, attracting talented students from Ireland and abroad and offering them a high-quality international education and placement experience
  • work with multinational and indigenous Irish companies operating internationally to create 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.
