Prospective Students

Welcome to UCD School of Computer Science and Informatics!

Do you ever wonder how everyday computing applications such as search engines (Google, Bing), social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Loop), voice and video over IP (Skype, SIP), internet banking or computer games actually work? Would you like to be involved in the development of the next generation of cutting-edge computing technologies? Then Computer Science is the degree for you, because without significant advancements in algorithms and software design none of these technological advances would have been possible!

For example, did you know that advances in data compression algorithms inspired the digital media revolution? From DVDs and mp3s to the video streaming technologies that drive web services such as YouTube, Computer Scientists have made important contribution in the development of such technologies.
