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

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

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.
