Computing - Fundamentals - Masters Qualifier - Grangegorman

The MSc in Computing Masters Qualifier will offer graduates in non computing disciplines the opportunity to acquire the core knowledge of computing concepts necessary to be eligible for entry to the MSc in Computer Science programme in the School of Computer Science. The philosophy behind the qualifier is that graduates from other disciplines will have developed significant transferable skills in analysis, communications and independent learning and so will be in a position to learn a focused subset of computing knowledge quickly.

Graduates of the Masters Qualifier exit with a Continuing Professional Development Diploma in Fundamentals of Computer Science and those who pass all modules and achieve an overall average mark of 60% can progress directly to the MSc in Computer Science programme.
