Computer Science in UCC

WLad

I'm considering going back to college to do comp science next year. Just wondering what peoples impressions of the course are?

Whats the workload like? Are the continuos assignments during the year manageable?

Just a big decision so would appreciate some advice, thanks

I suppose it depends on how interested you are in computer science . I hoovered up the material so it wasn't too bad for me but I had friends that weren't as interested and they struggled. The only consolation is that it is a good degree to have for finding a job.

Great, thanks!

I'm very interested in it. Do you mind me asking when you graduated? Have most of your class found employment then?

I graduated in 2007. I don't know of anyone not working. Nearly everyone went into an IT role of some sort, a lot of us (including myself) had jobs lined up before we graduated. I'm not sure if the job situation is any different now, according to the papers there's loads of jobs around...
