DUCSS is the Computer Science Society of Trinity College, Dublin. The object of DUCSS is to further interest and knowledge in Computer Science by the promotion of events to foster and develop co-operation between persons involved in Computer Science, associated disciplines and the application of Computerised Systems and Interactive Entertainment Technology.

The CSIS department is one of ten departments in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Our teaching and research activities focus on a wide variety of digital disciplines including human centred computing, music technology, software engineering, software localisation, and bio-inspired intelligent systems.

Do you ever wonder how everyday computing applications such as search engines (Google, Bing), social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Loop), voice and video over IP (Skype, SIP), internet banking or computer games actually work? Would you like to be involved in the development of the next generation of cutting-edge computing technologies? Then Computer Science is the degree for you, because without significant advancements in algorithms and software design none of these technological advances would have been possible!

The Department provides undergraduate programmes in Computer Science and Software Engineering,Multimedia and Web Development, and Computer Science as a subject in both Science and Arts. In addition, the Department provides the Computer Science component of numerous denominated degree programmes, including Biotechnology,Digital Media, Genetics & Bioinformatics, Physics with Astrophysics, and Music Technology.
