Computing and Information Technology Incl Professional Experience BSc at Queens University Belfast

This four-year degree (three years plus a placement year) develops applied computing, interpersonal, communication and IT skills and readies graduates to develop, select, deliver, manage and maintain cutting-edge IT infrastructures and advanced IT systems.

Technology advances at a rapid pace and businesses must adapt if they are to compete in an ever expanding global economy. A degree in CIT gives students a robust understanding across a broad range of information technology subjects.

While this degree is ideal for students who are interested in IT and are keen to learn programming, web development, database design and human-computer interaction, it also requires teamworking skills and nuanced interpersonal interaction. Collaboration and communication are fundamental skills that students must learn to be successful, not only in this degree but in industry.

Employer experience is embedded into this course and allows students to engage and learn from prospective employers from day one. Industry placements, company sponsored hackathons and challenges are a core part of the curriculum and vastly improve our graduate’s employability rates.
