Coding theory is a major component of Applied Algebra. It has many applications in the mathematics of communications and has many links with other scientific disciplines, such as electrical engineering and computer science. Coding theory arises in almost every imaginable digital communications and storage system. In UCD, it is taught at the undergraduate level in the module MATH30180 An Introduction to Coding Theory.

About this initiative
Creating an inclusive, co-designed counter-narrative centred on the authentic voices and lived experiences of those within the DP and refugee system, this work foregrounds the individual subjectivities of the people at the centre of the dichotomising “Fortress Europe” narrative – balancing mainstream media’s narratives of “villain” or “victim” or “hero” when representing the Asylum Seeker. This minimising effect, without nuance or depth, presents a picture of the stripped-bare human who has lost their political voice in transit. The Soundseekers Audio Festival attempts to counterbalance these marginalising myths by creating a safe space to amplify these under-represented voices, contributing toward “changing the narrative” through traditional and new media art forms and multi-mediated platforms, embedding 21st-century digital skills.

Looking Through the Green Lens
The newly formed UCD Library Green Group wanted to foster cross campus collaboration as they believed this would assist in realising their green goals. They saw the Learning Enhancement Project as a direct route to the student cohort who, motivated by their passion for the planet, would be willing to help the Library with this task.
Improving Access to Practical Elements of Environmental Engineering
In an applied subject – such as engineering – practical, hands-on learning opportunities are invaluable. Student and external examiner feedback has emphasised the value that students place on laboratory and practical classes, and the desire to incorporate more of these activities into the modules offered. This project focuses on two modules which are delivered simultaneously to two cohorts of students; in-person and online.
