7. ◦ A UCD Computer Science degree equips you with the
necessary skills to work as a computer programmer,
software engineer or architect, database designer, web
developer, network engineer, systems administrator or
manager, and IT consultant. Some graduates also go on to
start their own companies. With a BSc in Computer
Science, you’re also eligible to pursue graduate study in
computer science and in related areas, such as business,
mathematics and engineering. Graduates also pursue
research in computer science through PhD programmes in
UCD or other institutions.
