Stupid Question

leesmom · 2009-01-10 15:21:42

I want to do midwifery in ucd, however the points are very high with very few places, would someone be able to tell me what would be the difference if I do it in Dundalk IT? Does it make any difference where I got my degree from when I go looking for jobs?

unless the employer is biased it doesnt matter where you go to college, a degree is a degree. The only real difference between the colleges are things like teachers, facilities, the different ways of teaching the curriculum, campus, location, things like that

The biggest difference would be if the degree from one college was accredited by .. uh, Midwives Association? or something like that, and if the degree from the other wasn't. Otherwise they should be basically the same. Well, some colleges might have a reputation in the industry, so there might be slight differences, but probably not too much...
