Immersive Software Engineering is a highly competitive, immersive programme from which students graduate with a master’s degree in software engineering in under four years.

ISE is a radical change in how we teach computer science. ISE features a much more intensive student experience. We achieve a fast-tracked graduation by removing summers and devoting every-other semester to residencies.

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. Students learn at an accelerated pace during their time at UL in team-taught blocks in a bespoke studio setting.

The focus is on project-driven, peer-based learning with input from companies at all times. Assessment is continuous. Students spend 45% of their time in companies like Stripe, AWS, Intercom, Analog Devices, as well as many Irish startups and SMEs. We have venture capital firms as well as Enterprise Ireland and the IDA as part of our coalition of partners.

We find creative, motivated students, teach them cutting edge software engineering, match them to research active, industry-connected innovative companies, and mentor them to achieve their best outcomes.

We help act as a bridge between Irish computer science students, European tech giants, and Silicon Valley.
