Inspiring careers in IT
The Liberty IT bursary scheme is about fostering talent in Northern Ireland. We want young people embarking on their career to be as excited by IT as we are. Our bursary scheme, which at runs both of Northern Ireland's universities, is an opportunity for us to:
- recognise the brightest local brains in the study of third level computer science
