Software Development & Sports Science

A new course for the 2027 intake of students, and the first of its kind in Ireland, this is an interdisciplinary programme that combines cutting-edge software development with the scientific study of sport and human performance. Guests on the podcast were:

Amanda Freeman Gater, head of the Computing and Mathematics Dept at SETU
Dr Eoin Everard, lecturer, Department of Sport and Exercise Science
Stephen O’Dwyer, founder of TrojanTrack, an AI powered equine technology company.

They outlined how students who do the course will develop strong technical expertise in areas such as programming, web development, data science, wearable technologies, and artificial intelligence, while also gaining a deep understanding of the science behind sport and exercise performance.
