TU Dublin BSc Computer Science

What is TU Dublin BSc Computer Science, and what does it cost?

TU Dublin runs three computer science degrees at Grangegorman on the same fee and the same award, and this is the selective one. It took 423 CAO points in 2026 against 351 for both siblings, and it has 85 places where they have 54 and 50. Tuition is EUR 13,500 a year, about INR 14.86 lakh.

What the extra points buy is the version with nothing compulsory bolted on. The infrastructure sibling targets networks and systems, and the international one makes a semester abroad and a foreign language mandatory. This one specialises through Year 3 electives instead, and it’s the only one of the three with no required add-on.

How much does TU Dublin BSc Computer Science actually cost?

The upper full-programme planning total is EUR 135,022, or about INR 1.49 crore. It uses current tuition and TU Dublin’s EUR 19,928 annual living-away figure, plus the application, visa and annual registration charges. The inputs come from the programme page and TU Dublin cost guide.

The EUR 10,000 immigration finance floor is evidence for a visa decision, not TU Dublin's realistic cost estimate. Converted at EUR 1 = INR 110.0485, the ECB reference rate for 1 September 2026. Bank spreads, insurance, flights, refundable housing deposits and later fee changes are excluded.

The tuition input is EUR 54,000 across the currently published programme duration. A deposit credited against tuition is not added again. The EUR 50 application fee is consumed even when the application is unsuccessful.

TU Dublin publishes EUR 11,878 to EUR 19,928 for an academic year away from home. The table uses the upper figure across 4 study years. Its own itemisation includes a EUR 2,500 student charge that may overlap with the registration element already included in non-EU tuition, so the total is deliberately conservative rather than a university invoice.

The university has no on-campus accommodation. Private student housing, private rental and host-family options have different deposits and contract lengths, and those cash-flow timings are not captured by an annual total.

Private medical insurance is compulsory for a non-EEA student, but no universal current premium applies to every applicant. It remains outside the arithmetic instead of inserting a false common price.

The INR conversion uses the European Central Bank reference rate dated 1 September 2026. A weaker rupee raises the family contribution even if the EUR 54,000 tuition figure does not change, while annual fee changes create a separate risk for a multi-year course.

Part-time earnings cannot form the visa funding case. Irish Immigration requires sufficient funds without reliance on casual employment, and any permitted work after arrival remains secondary to the academic timetable.

Can an Indian applicant get into TU Dublin BSc Computer Science?

TU Dublin’s Indian Class 12 table sets a board-specific overall average and then adds the rule that catches most applicants: 80% in mathematics for engineering, computing and science programmes, against 75% elsewhere. This is a computing programme, so 80% is the bar.

The board matters as much as the mark. TU Dublin sets 70% for CBSE, ICSE, Kolkata and Tamil Nadu, 58% for West Bengal, 75% for Maharashtra and Gujarat, and 80% for every other state board, which is the harshest line in the table.

English is IELTS 6.0 with nothing below 6.0 in any component. The certificate must be issued within two years of the course start and come from a single sitting, with no combining of results.

What most applicants miss

1. TU Dublin has published no non-EU intake you can apply to

   TU Dublin says

   “Please note that for programmes commencing in September 2026, the closing date for International applications is Friday 26 June 2026.”TU Dublin, international applications

   That date has passed and nothing later is published. We checked the same page on 1 September 2026 and the string 2027 does not appear on it at all. The apply panel on the course page carries an EU link and no non-EU one, while TU Dublin’s International Foundation Year still shows live non-EU buttons for September 2026 and January 2027, so the mechanism works and is maintained. Whatever intake eventually opens, the award level is what decides your post-study permission, and it is set on the National Framework of Qualifications.Entry thresholds published on the CAO points list govern Leaving Certificate applicants and not a non-EU file.

2. Three codes, one award, seventy-two points between them

   TU856, TU857 and TU858 are all BSc honours, Level 8, four years, 240 credits, Grangegorman, EUR 13,500. TU856 took 423 points, the other two 351. TU858 makes a semester abroad and a foreign language compulsory. TU857 targets infrastructure. If you want networks or systems, or you want the year abroad, applying to TU856 is a seventy-two point premium for the wrong curriculum. The CAO points do not apply to a non-EU file, but the curriculum difference does.

3. The placement is optional, paid and brokered by the school

   The school’s industry page names this course specifically and describes a six-month, full-time, paid industrial placement as an optional module. Vacancies are advertised through an Industry Engagement Office the school set up in the last three years. So it is real and supported, and it is an elective in one semester of Year 3 rather than a sandwich year. TU Dublin publishes the arrangement.

How should you apply for TU Dublin BSc Computer Science?

The central international application page sets the controlling status. The September 2026 non-EU deadline was 26 June 2026 and has passed. No later intake is treated as open until TU Dublin publishes it. Anyone presenting an Irish Leaving Certificate or a QQI award applies through the CAO regardless of nationality, which is a rule that catches dual applicants.

Direct TU Dublin non-EU undergraduate application for TU856

The allowances are Nbyula planning estimates, not processing times published by Technological University Dublin.

The correct route is Direct TU Dublin non-EU undergraduate application for TU856. The programme title, code, mode and campus need to agree throughout the portal file because similar TU Dublin records can lead to the wrong selection.

The postgraduate file requires a passport, the institution’s grading scale, degree or completion evidence, every annual transcript, English proof, a current CV and a statement of purpose. The undergraduate route requires the school award, subject evidence and English documentation applicable to the course.

The 26 June 2026 deadline is a historical control, not a live invitation. A future page revision needs an official later intake, fee and deadline before the CTA can change from counselling to application support.

The preparation durations are planning allowances rather than university processing promises. They create enough room for an English result and document correction before a future official closing date is known.

What jobs and work rights follow TU Dublin BSc Computer Science?

TU Dublin names companies it holds institutional links with for this course, which is more than most pages here offer. It publishes no rate or salary for the programme, and post-study rights come from the graduate programme at twelve months for a Level 8 award.cao.ie/points/l8.php” rel=”noopener”>the CAO points list, and it does not apply to a non-EU file.

The named companies are described as institutional links across sponsorship, placement and projects, not as a destinations list for this cohort.

One module title on this course is worth more than any brochure line, because no aggregator will carry it. GenAI-Assisted Programming is a named mandatory Year 2 module, which tells you how recently the curriculum was rewritten and what it now assumes about the job.

TU Dublin names no programming language anywhere on the page. The module titles imply the stack, covering object oriented programming, web development, databases, cloud computing and mobile development, but the college does not name a language and neither will we.

Who should apply to TU Dublin BSc Computer Science, and who should not?

This is the general computer science option of TU Dublin’s three, and the one to choose without a compulsory year abroad or an infrastructure focus. The Indian table sets the maths bar at 80% for computing programmes. TU Dublin has published no non-EU intake for it, so this is a course to plan towards rather than apply to today.

Compare all three codes before choosing, because they cost the same and award the same degree. The difference is what is compulsory, and that is a curriculum decision rather than a prestige one.

If the maths mark is the obstacle, the International Foundation Year is TU Dublin’s published route and it has live non-EU intakes for September 2026 and January 2027, with progression onto an undergraduate programme on completion.

What does the 240-ECTS TU Dublin BSc Computer Science curriculum contain?

The current programme structure moves from Programming and Algorithms and data structures into Final-year project. The grouped table is a planning map rather than a claim that every listed option runs in every intake. Two hundred and forty credits over four years, with Year 3 largely elective and a final-year project running across both semesters of Year 4.

• Complete the published 240-ECTS award structure
• Use the intake module list because options can change
• Meet every progression, project or specialisation condition

The foundation includes Programming, Algorithms and data structures and Computer architecture. These areas show why the entry requirement asks for prior academic or professional evidence rather than relying only on the award title.

The specialist middle covers Operating systems, Databases and web development and Cloud and DevOps. Elective or pathway wording matters because an example on the current page does not guarantee that exact option for a later intake.

The assessed end point includes Artificial intelligence and machine learning and Final-year project. Its value depends on the resulting evidence, while the official page does not promise a named client, paid host or automatic employment outcome.

Should you shortlist TU Dublin BSc Computer Science?

Shortlist this if you want broad computer science without a compulsory semester abroad, and can clear 80% in Class 12 maths. TU Dublin has published no non-EU intake for it, per its own international closing dates. Eighty-five places, against fifty-four and fifty for the two sibling codes at the same campus and fee.

Two hundred and forty credits over four years at Grangegorman, eighty-five places. Year one covers programming, program design, IT fundamentals, mathematics and web development. Year two adds object oriented programming, databases, software engineering, algorithms and GenAI-assisted programming. Year three is largely elective, including a paid placement option, and Year four is built around a final-year project.

The CAO points on this page are a Leaving Certificate threshold and they do not apply to a non-EU application, which is assessed against TU Dublin's India table instead. Quoting 423 points to an Indian applicant as their requirement is wrong, and the number that actually governs is 80% in mathematics.
