Queen's University Belfast & University of Ulster Bursaries

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 runs at both of Northern Ireland's universities, is an opportunity for us to:

  • recognise the best students in the study of third level computer science
  • direct local talent into the local workforce
