About the course

A four-year, English-taught computing degree focused on programming, databases and building web and mobile applications, with two concentrations (Mobile Application Development and Web Application Development). Students must complete at least 800 hours of paid work experience (co-op), usually in the summers after second and third year, and also take an additional foreign language (German, Italian, Spanish or French).

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • RIT Croatia accepts foreign school-leaving qualifications through its direct application, and applicants with foreign diplomas do not sit the Croatian State Matura. Your Leaving Certificate must be recognised by the Agency for Science and Higher Education (ASHE/AZVO), and RIT Croatia’s admissions staff guide foreign-diploma holders through this. RIT Croatia publishes no Leaving Cert grade or Higher Level rules, so ask admissions what results they expect. Conditional offers are possible while you are still in sixth year.
  • Applicants submit school transcripts (Junior Cycle and fifth-year results if you are still at school) and a motivational essay in English of at least 400 words, then do a motivational interview in English (in person or on Zoom). Applications are reviewed holistically on academic preparation, motivation and career interests.
  • English is assessed through the interview, the essay and school grades. SAT, ACT and TOEFL scores are optional, so no separate English test is required.
