In terms of employers, I personally believe that a BSc is better than a BA when it comes to technology (Science vs. Arts). Now that's just my personal opinion, the vast majority of employers look for a degree and don't give two hoots whether it is a BA or BSc. I don't know how highly employers regard it, but the course always had a relatively high number of students compared to other courses, if that is any indication.

All of the students were working in either management or IT, as far as I remember.

As for the course itself, it wasn't the easiest of courses. I recall looking at some of the other module material and remarking on how much was in it. The course was well run when I was there - there were a lot of senior lecturers on it (I was the techie "whizz kid" that did all the interweb stuff, leaving the "serious" stuff to the course elders ).

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

I don't know, I am not in the college any more. Give them a call (don't bother e-mailing them).
