What is Computer Science (Cloud & Networks)?

The BSc (Hons) in Computer Science (Cloud and Networks) is a full-time, four year, honours degree course of study that can be chosen within the BSc (Hons) in Computer Science Common Entry Route. This course is designed to equip students with a practical understanding of Operating Systems and the tools required to deploy, manage and troubleshoot the underlying infrastructure supporting networked systems.

Course Aims

This stream will develop a strong underlying knowledge of how network communications and Cloud infrastructure is designed, implemented and managed. Students will work with the latest technologies from leading companies such as Amazon, Cisco, Red Hat and IBM. Graduates who are able to configure, manage and troubleshoot applications and services in Cloud based systems are in high demand across many domains.

Students will learn how to configure reliable, fault-tolerant, secure Cloud infrastructure systems using popular environments such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. Students will take some modules from the Security stream to develop the essential skills required in modern Cloud environments.

Follow on study for the BSc (Hons) in Computer Science (Cloud & Networks)

Many graduates of this stream subsequently undertake the taught MSc. In Enterprise Software Systems, however as graduates will have developed a highly sought after Cloud technologies skillset, many choose to undertake this programme in part-time mode. This programme has been developed in a modular design and the flexibility facilities part-time students taking modules over a number of years.

Other graduates have opted to undertake research Masters and Phd career paths both locally within SETU Waterford’s TSSG research center and beyond.
