The importance of the software industry to the Irish economy has often been underlined, and this course has been designed to build upon the solid base of the well-established National Certificate and National Diploma in Commercial Computing at WIT to provide a supply of skilled software developers in the commercial area at degree level. It also responds to a demand from graduates of the National Diploma in Commercial Computing for a course that complements and develops their studies in a coherent fashion.

In the third year, Diploma level, subjects such as Marketing, Finance, Law and German take away somewhat from the Computing element and I myself did not enjoy third year as much as the previous two years because of this. In the final year, Degree Level, you have a project to research and develop.
