3rd year Comp Science Student looking to get involved in any games companies or anything related to games development, preferably in Cork but can go up for Dublin for the 6 months.
Would like to do testing but can do some level of development too(for simple mobile games etc.)

Apply to Upstart or Selatra. Upstart recently opened a porting studio in Cork and Seletra have been around for a while (based in Blackrock business park). Both links can be found on the companies page of this site.

Any other non-game development companies that might be relevant? Or any in Dublin that might take on a CS student…?

Lionbridge in Ballina Co. Mayo.
They are a software testing company and if you cant get a job as a games tester you should have a look here. You will get good experience testing with a variety of applications. They have in the past tested a few games there so there is a small chance of game testing there but in the last while all the game testing done in lionbridge has been linguistics only so unless you can speak another language you wont be testing many games up there. Oh ya and they take on a lot of college work placement students.You could also try and email this guy Liam.Quilty@manpower.ie . Dont know if recruitment agencies would even think about looking at a student but I do know that he has a few junior testing roles at the moment in Cork city but none involve game testing.

Can anyone recommend any other IT Places to go to at all? Pretty desperate for a placement now… has to be one that’s not too conservative though.

Ericsson in Athlone and Dublin take on students for the summer and have a variety of programming and testing positions. Maybe look into them?
Oh and whats conservative placement?
-
It really has to be Cork. I’ve prepaid accomodation(or rather my Dad did, argh).
By "conservative" I mean I don’t want a place that will look at a guy funny for having long hair, etc, that would be conservative(and sexist to boot, but it still happens all the time).
