Programme Purpose

The Higher Certificate in Science in Business Computing is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue a professional career in the ICT sector in both Irish and multinational companies.

This applications knowledge is complemented with appropriate expertise in supporting software technologies, such as software development, data networking and web design. The programme will produce a graduate capable of entering the area of business/customer support within the ICT sector. In addition, to having the required technical skills graduates of this programme will also have knowledge in the areas of Business skills (e.g. Organisation Behaviour, Accounting and Human Resource Management). Learners, who successfully complete the Higher Certificate in Science in Business Computing, will be able to progress to the BSc (Hons) in Technology Management.
