Ms Andrea Feeney:

We can build on that. I attended a conference recently on computer science and there were representatives from higher education there. Atlantic Technological University, ATU, has adapted the first year of the computer science degree programme at its Letterkenny campus to align more closely with computer science at leaving certificate. Lecturers found that the students coming in who had done computer science were bored by some of the stuff they were doing in first year because they had done it as part of the computer science subject at leaving certificate.
