In addition to continuing to build upon the basic programming and logical reasoning skills established in Stage 1, Stage 2 will allow you to explore fields as diverse as Computer Forensics, Web Multimedia and Cognitive Science. Computer Forensics will allow you to understand viruses and hacking. Using software developed by researchers at the UCD Centre for Cybercrime Investigation you will witness the real-time detection of cybercrime on the Internet.

Our Web Multimedia module will teach you the basic design principles involved in the creation of all websites. You will be exposed to technologies like (x)HTML, Authoring Tools, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Graphics and Imaging, Javascript, XML, and Web 2.0. You will also investigate the importance of human computer interaction in web design.
