Is Smurfit not just part of UCD? Despite what they like to think they're just another school within the university.

I don't know anything about DCU but the Smurfit masters was 10 times more difficult than I had anticipated.

It has been described as "2 leaving certs" and that's not including the summer school.

Think there's about 50 in the class doing repeats. However, there's plenty of first class honours too.

Saying that, you'll learn loads and some of the lecturers are excellent (some are atrocious too).

DCU could be the same!
