An overview of the Mathematics Department at CIT

Maths - The CIT Way

This course is designed to provide the graduate student with the advanced theoretical knowledge and skills in the interrelated areas of Computer Networking and Computer Security.

Networking & Security MSc - CR_KNSEC_9

The programme is designed to provide the postgraduate student with the advanced theoretical knowledge and skills necessary for their continuing professional development (CPD) in the software industry. The main focus is in the area of software development with particular emphasis on current software design principles and methods and software quality.

Software Development MSc - CR_KSDEV_9

Software development programmes provide graduates with the skills and knowledge required to design and create the software programmes that people use every day. For example, you use software programmes when using the internet, booking a flight or writing up your homework on a PC.

Software Development BSc - CR106

The course can be considered as software development for the web. It provides graduates with the skills and knowledge required to design and create web sites and web applications (the software programmes that people use every day on the Internet). Some examples would be Facebook, Youtube, Amazon, or basically any website you visit. The course has a strong focus on the use of current and emerging web technologies and user experience.

Web Development BSc Hons - CR312

This course is flexible and will provide you with the opportunity to qualify at Higher Certificate level after two years at which time you can leave CIT to find employment or decide to stay on in CIT and acquire your degree or honours degree subsequently. Acquiring an honours degree in software development using this option takes a year longer than would be the case if you entered the BSc (Honours) in Software Development CR106 directly.

Computing BSc - CR016

This is a bi-focal course with equal emphasis on Software Development and Computer Networking. The aim of the programme is to produce software developers with general computing skills but with an emphasis on programming, analysis and design skills necessary for the creation of network/internet based applications. Graduates may also find employment in a wide range of industries as networking specialists.

Software Development and Computer Networking BSc Hons - CR116

It is designed to produce technicians and technical managers (through add-on degree options) to support the IT systems used by most modern industries. This programme provides a specialised theoretical and applied learning experience as well as structured placement in industry.

Parenting Doesn't Matter (Or Not As Much As You Think)

Best Parenting Podcasts

The best podcasts about ourselves as well as the world through the lense of Science. Specific topics include things about our brain, emotions to biology, physics and more!

Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.

Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality | Anil Seth

Using examples from vacations to colonoscopies, Nobel laureate and founder of behavioral economics Daniel Kahneman reveals how our "experiencing selves" and our "remembering selves" perceive happiness differently. This new insight has profound implications for economics, public policy -- and our own self-awareness.
