Applied Software Engineering

This is an intensive masters degree programme in applied software technology aimed at students and unemployed individuals. The degree, which also offers full-time employment with Ericsson Athlone upon satisfactory completion, is free to students and people out of work. It is supported by Skillnet through its Job Seekers Support Programme funded by the National Training Fund through the Department of Skills and Education. Content is totally industry focused: using up-to the-minute technologies, tools and real-world examples and delivering learning in real-time non-trivial project settings. There is a strong focus on intensive interaction among students and close active supervision by instructors (both academic and industry mentors).
