Higher Diploma of Science in Web Technologies

National College of Ireland has almost four thousand students studying from Certificate to PhD

level at our IFSC campus. It is a vibrant and dynamic place to study. Our programmes are

designed with real businesses in mind, so we are proud to work with employers, professional

network and professional bodies across all Industry sectors. The college has particular

expertise in management education and computing and has been recognised as a national

centre for cloud computing and web technologies.

The aim of the Higher Diploma in Science in Web Technologies is to give participants that have

a non-technical background the knowledge, understanding, competence, skills and tools such

that they could take up programming roles on the internet such as a web application

developer. They should demonstrate a well-balanced combination of analysis and problem

solving, based on an understanding of web technology subjects.

The intended graduate profile is a person capable of problem-solving and technical

communication, capable of working in the area of web application development up to the

creation of asynchronous web applications that employ multimedia. Accordingly, this graduate

will have the requisite technical skills in the area of web application technologies. Specifically,

on the client and server side, they will have an understanding of the theory, concepts and

methods pertaining to web application technologies. The application knowledge will be

complimented with detailed knowledge and understanding in a specialised area of dynamic

web applications, rich internet applications and Asynchronous web development.

The students have a varied mix of previous careers. They include Architects, Teachers, Graphic

Designers, Supply Chain Professionals and Customer Service Advisors. What they now have in

common is their motivation and determination to make a break in to the ICT sector and they

are looking for challenging internship/work placement opportunities to assist them in

achieving this.

If you would like to discuss any of the students enclosed or indeed have any queries about

work placement please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our contact details are on the back

page of this document.

Career Experience

..........................................................

06.00-02.12: Mahons Printing Works (2-3 Yarnhall St. Dublin 1), Graphic Designer;

I designed for a wide range of public and private sector clients.

I increased production speed and saved costs by learning to output film for lithographic

printing in-house using Agfa imagesetting.

I improved production by keeping abreast of any new tools and techniques in production

technologies (Adobe CS, QuarkXpress) and output technologies (Agfa).

I accurately interpreted briefs and worked at speed with high attention to detail, within

deadline.

My proficiency and skill with the Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXpress was greatly

appreciated if a job required trouble shooting or correction for print output. This involved

dissecting every component and finding the sources of the issue. My experience lends me

good problem solving abilities in this and related areas. I’m very alert to potential issues.

I learned when speed was really of the essence and to work fast. Both through tight

deadlines and also printing machines on hold while an issue was being corrected.

I developed great working relationships with clients who often became repeat customers.

I improved the file storage system. The faster, simple locating of relevant files was

appreciated and saved time.

05.98-06.00: Staybro Printing (19/21 Annesley Place, Dublin 3), Graphic Designer;

Designed print work for a varied, private and public sector client base.

I designed several brochures for RDS events.
