    Mods - looking for slightly different info than in the thread I posted in the DCU forum, but if you think it's duplicated feel free to merge them.

    Looking for opinions really. I finished International Commerce with French in UCD last year, and I've been teaching English in France since. In my final year in UCD I specialised in online commerce stuff - so some basic basic webdesign, online marketing, basics of how the internet works etc.

    I've always had an interest in computers, and did very well in LC HL maths.

    Looking forward to doing a masters I'm torn between the two courses above.

    MSc ECommerce - it feels like a fuller programme, I like that it has a summer project between people on the technical stream and business stream, I like the next generation management module, BUT - it feels like there's a lot of padding and only a couple of core IT modules.

    G.Dip in IT - feels like a more rounded intro to IT, and looks like a good course BUT it feels very much like an intro.

    Going forward, I don't really know what I want to do in life - I feel that the business-y avenue that I was going down wasn't concrete enough for me, that jobs would be a bit blah blah-y, and that I missed maths. But at the same time, it feels that while the ecomm masters would polish a set of skills, that the IT dip would only give an intro, a case of focusing my skills, or widening them I guess.

    All opinions are welcome!!!
