Welcome to the School of Computer Science
As the Head of Computer Science, I am delighted to welcome you to our School. We are based in the Computer Science Building which is located in the heart of our beautiful University of Galway campus here on the west coast of Ireland and Europe. Our School is a vibrant and dynamic hub of creative energy, which is driven by an outward looking ambition.
We are involved in all aspects of computer science education and research with a number of very strong specialisms. In addition to this, our single unifying theme is our commitment to positively impacting people’s lives, in all aspects of our work through openness and interdisciplinarity. Our School is committed to achieving excellence and success for all those that come here to study and work. This is grounded on the principles of equality, respect, transparency, sustainability and ambition.
Our vision of the School of Computer Science is to continue building a strong and sustainable learning environment with world-recognised research that informs high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching that is inclusive and relevant to the needs of our stakeholders and society in general. Our strategic plan identifies key actions to advance this vision.
The School of Computer Science was initially established in 1991 as the Information Technology Discipline, and became a School in 2019, recognising its growth and significance. Our staff currently includes 34 academic faculty, 7 support staff and over 50 research staff. In research terms, our School is very active in a number of research institutes, and a large number of high impact interdisciplinary collaborations.
