    Hey guys I have applied for MSc in Computer Science (Conversion) in UCD http://www.csi.ucd.ie/content/msc-computer-science-conversion and it is looking like I might get accepted. What is the story with fees, I was on the BTE allowance last year and was eligible for my fees to be paid by the VEC.
    What are my options for this course, I belive that I won't get the BTE but will I be able to at least still sign dole. What about the fees, can I apply to the VEC for funding in this regard or are there any other options availible to me.
    Usefull comments would be great, thanks in advance

    You won't get BTEA
    You can't sign on the dole
    You can apply for a grant towards fees

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
