Entry Requirements

The programme does not accept any applications for direct entry to the Postgraduate Diploma in Computing (Knowledge Management) and all accepted students must initially enrol for the MSc in Computing (Knowledge Management) programme. This MSc programme requires applicants to have experience of the issues involved in designing and implementing computer systems from a simple to moderate degree of complexity in either an industrial or an academic context.

The minimum admission requirements for entry to the MSc programme are as follows:

(1) B.Sc. (Honours 2.2. or better) in Computer Science or an allied discipline with computer science as a significant programme component. Each programme will be assessed by the Admissions and Exemptions Committee.

The programme is designed to provide a unique opportunity for personnel already employed in the information technology industry to obtain a highly relevant postgraduate qualification on a part-time basis. Therefore in order to encourage applications from candidates who may not have the required academic background but who do have considerable relevant industry experience, applications will be considered from candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements.  Such candidates may be requested to submit a piece of work and attend an interview in order to facilitate the evaluation of their application. Candidates considered suitable will be referred to the Dublin Institute of Technology Exceptional Cases Committee for approval.

Exemptions may be permitted for selected modules of the programme. Exemptions will only be permitted for all components of a module. Such exemptions are approved by the Admissions and Exemptions Committee.

Students may only be granted exemptions from a maximum of four modules.

Students can apply for an exemption from any module of the programme except those listed in the table below which are essential to the completion of the programme.
