    Has anyone completed this course recently and if so how would you rate it?

    There is a thread on this course already but its a few years old and it looks like most of the modules have changed since. I'd love to hear reviews from people that have completed the course recently and what you thought of the course structure, content, work load etc.

    I'd also be very interested in hearing some feed back from anyone who did this course or DCU connects in general.

    I'm in the third year of this.

    You will need to be comfortable with the prep maths they give you before you begin and you will also need some understanding of physics.

    You have four level 1, four level 2, and six level 3 modules to cover. You can do a maximum of four level 1 & 2 modules per year, and a maximum of 3 level 6 per year.

    The first level of modules are fine but HS1 requires a lot of time. The online lectures are good but you need to be able to put in time on your own to keep up to speed.
    The second level are a lot tougher, particularly Maths.

    It's worth looking over the course notes before you decide what to take.

    The course is very good, the online lectures are around once a month and they do a face to face once a month too, attendance is not mandatory but I'm sure it would help (I haven't been to any).
