blank Course Summary... blank

 

Students are introduced to the basics of IT and computer methods. The course teaches useful skills in computer programming and application in the first year.

As part of an Arts degree, this subject is one of four subjects you choose in first year. In second and third year you continue with two of the subjects taken in First Arts. It may be possible to take an extra year studying abroad.

Notes:
Restricted Entry Subjects: students should note that they may choose only ONE from the following traditional Arts subjects: Beginners’ German, Léann an Aistriúcháin, Legal Studies, Information Technology, Mathematics and Psychology.

Each of the above subjects has restrictions on entry to Second Arts based upon performance in First Arts. Therefore, successful completion of the subject in First Arts may not guarantee progression to Second Arts in that subject. For this reason, the College does not permit any student to register for more than ONE restricted entry subject.

Information Technology in First Arts has a class limit of 120 places, offered in the first week of registration. In order to progress to Second Arts, students will be required to pass the programme module (CT112) at 40% or higher in addition to passing the subject overall.
