Transform computer science education
We think ISE students will learn best on the job, with mentoring from both industry and academia. In four years at ISE students will complete five paid residencies with companies, where they will be part of real, professional teams, solving real problems as a developer and problem solver. Throughout their degree students will alternate their time between on-campus learning blocks and residencies in partner companies like yours.
Residencies are not internships. Residencies are designed so students learn in the same way medical doctors do, by acquiring prescribed skills in real-world settings. The focus is on project-driven, peer-based learning with input from companies at all times.
Who is this for?
Our value proposition is this: We will find and match the most creative and motivated students to innovative, research active, high potential companies in any industry, in Ireland and beyond.
Why do this?
ISE wants to change computer science education, first in Ireland, then in Europe and across the world. We want to validate a model of learning within industry to set students up for the challenges they’ll encounter in the real world. We want to construct a pipeline of talent from secondary school through to university and into practice.
