A while back, I (Tabea) had the opportunity to interview Livia Stephenson (Client Services Manager) and Inger Larsen (founder and MD) of Larsen G11n Ltd who are specialized in recruiting localisation talent.

The MSc Software Development: International Systems is a 2-year degree at the University of Limerick. You will learn software development from scratch, along with localisation, software internationalisation and translation technology topics. It is suited for those who are looking for a conversion degree into software development, but primarily aimed at those who wish to combine their existing background with software development in order to specialise in interdisciplinary areas like software localisation, software internationalisation, technical project management, technology and law, and many more.

We are currently running virtual open days for our postgraduate programmes. Join us tomorrow at 2:30pm GMT +1 to learn about the options in the Computer Science department, including the MSc Software Development: International Systems. The session includes Q&A, and Q&A will continue on social media afterwards.
