ISE met the VIOTAS team to hear more about their cutting-edge software and smart grid technology and also understand how Immersive Software Engineering students will learn on the job during their 6-month residencies.
“We put a lot of value on talent, attitude and aptitude, so we are partnering with the Immersive Software Engineering programme at UL, to identify great potential. For VIOTAS it gives us a chance to work with people like you and we get a chance to see what you can do and the innovations we can create together.” said head of software engineering – John O’Donavan.
ISE students will ‘learn by doing’ in real-world environments in the world’s most innovative companies, such as VIOTAS.
Immersive Software Engineering students get a Masters degree in 4 years and go on paid work residencies with 5 companies during their 4 years with ISE. So you get to work with and learn from some of the worlds top companies like VIOTAS and others.
