Software Development and Criminology
Course Description:
A QQI Level 5 course in Software Development and Criminology combines the technical skills of programming and software design with the analytical study of criminal behaviour and justice systems. This unique interdisciplinary program is designed for students interested in applying technology to fields such as cybersecurity, digital
forensics, criminal justice, and data analysis, while also providing a foundation for further study in either software development or criminology. This course is ideal for school leavers or mature learners interested in technology and its application in addressing crime and security challenges. It requires no prior programming or criminology experience, making it accessible to those looking to explore both fields.
