Overview

Ireland’s reputation as a centre of software excellence is unrivalled in Europe. It is home to over 900 software companies, including both multinational and indigenous firms, employing 24,000 people and generating €16 billion of exports annually.

The Irish technology sector remains buoyant with Google, Facebook, Microsoft and eBay all having a major presence here. Our objective is to equip graduates with the skills to seek employment in this level of business. We constantly re-assess programme content to keep pace with emerging platforms and industry trends.

Careers

The outlook is positive for graduates. A Morgan McKinley report says that demand for software developers shows “no sign of slowing down”. It continues: “Salaries have increased across the majority of areas, particularly in the development space.”

Graduates of Software Development (Hons) programme from the Atlantic Technological University typically assume the role of software developer. They build and test high-quality code across front-end, logic and database layers. Other graduate opportunities include careers as a technology consultant, full stack web developer, senior quality controller/research analyst, international project lead and business development manager.
