    Hey, so I am currently doing Level 8 in Computer Science, just finished my 2nd year, two more years to go. I am really good with programming and whatever is related to coding, I ended up getting only 60 out of 100 credits in 2nd year, but I will improve next year. I am really interested in my course and when I finish it I am interested to continue education.

    I found a nice course in Trinity, it's called:
    Computer Science (Interactive EntertainmentTechnology)
    It teaches stuff I am really interested in, like:
    • Data Communications and Networks
    • Graphics and Console Hardware
    • Real-time Rendering
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Autonomous Agents
    • Real-timeb Animation
    • Real-timebPhysics
    • VisionbSystems
    • Augmented Reality

    and has extra modules like software engineering (which I need as well).

    I was wondering what is Trinity college requirements? I heard they require to just go through interview? how good results are you supposed to have?

    Thank You.

    Thanks.

    My brother did a MSc in Computer Science at Trinity, but that was 10+ years ago. We all know that Trinity has a good reputation, so, if you can afford it then do it.

    However, I think that you will find, arleitiss, that the things you learn in any course will not fully prepare you for a job in industry. Doing BSc's and MSc's more just proves what you're capable of to an employer. If you stay in academia, however, the things you learn will be more suited to your life as a researcher/lecturer.
