Why ISE
A different kind of computer science degree
Most degrees teach you about software. ISE has you building it — for real companies, for pay, from first year.
Why choose ISE
What makes it different
Learn by doing
Studios and real projects instead of lecture-hall-only terms — you build from week one.
Paid residencies
Spend half the degree contributing inside real engineering teams, and get paid for it.
Graduate with a master's
Four years to an integrated BSc and MSc — a faster route to a postgraduate qualification.
Work with the best
Residencies with world-leading companies and Ireland's fastest-growing startups.
In practice
You build from week one
Real projects in small teams from the first weeks — the fastest way to become a genuinely capable software engineer.
