I’m delighted to invite you to the 2016 undergraduate degree

show for the Department of Computing at Cork Institute of

Technology. The show will be held on Wednesday May 11th from

16:00 to 20:00 in the James Barry Exhibition Centre at the

Bishopstown Campus.

On display will be final year project poster presentations by

students from our honours degree programmes. The projects on

display demonstrate the quality of CIT Computing graduates and

their ability to solve real world problems.

Please join us on the day for what promises to be a great

celebration of our students’ achievements.
