    I'm doing computer science and I am expected to graduate with a 2.1 or higher.

    So I wanted to apply for the first derivatives graduate program, but was kind of upset that you can't apply if you have not achieved a minimum of 500 leaving cert points. Another requirement is that you must have done honours math. I was only able to satisfy two of the requirements which are being mobile for travel and achieving a 2.1 or higher.

    How strict are they on their leaving cert requirements

    It's a dreadful place to work, basically a meat factory. Take your 2.1 and work for a proper company.

    I've heard it's awful and the 60,000 they say you'll get is more like 24,000 + travel expenses (if you travel).

    If you have a 2.1 in computer science you can walk into a great job.
