The Open Day is designed for software engineers, DevOps engineers, architects and technical leads who are considering a Level 9 Masters while working full time. It is also relevant for managers or HR and L&D leaders who want to understand how these programmes can support their teams.
Yes, if you are working in software, cloud, infrastructure or related technical roles and want to move towards architecture or DevOps leadership. The session will cover typical backgrounds, the skills you will develop, and how the programmes support career progression in Ireland’s tech sector.

During the Open Day we will explain the current fees, the funded rates available to eligible Irish based participants and employers, and the steps you need to take to access the funding.

You will also get a clear picture of entry requirements, time commitment, assessment approaches and how the programmes are delivered for working professionals.
At the end of the session we will walk through the application process and timelines for the next intake. You will receive links to the full programme details, entry criteria and application forms, and you can follow up with our team if you have specific questions about your profile.
