    Hi guys. I am interested in applying for the MSc in Computer Science by Negotiated Learning this year and was hoping someone here might be able to fill me in on it a bit more.

    The UCD site seems to say the fees vary depending on the year—what do you think they'll be this year?

    I've heard it's difficult to get into the course too. I have a first class honors degree in Physics but no industry experience at all (it's been near impossible to find work of any sort since graduation), what do you think my chances of getting accepted are? I do have decent understanding of programming in C, and a bit in Java.

    I'm mainly interested in doing some of the programming courses and throwing in a physics and mathematics module or two. Anyone have similar expectations or experience?

    This programe and other IT related UCD programmes such as the MSc in Business Analytics, MSc in Advanced Software Engineering are subsidised by the HEA Advanced Skills programme and so the fee is set by the HEA. This will be €2750 for the 2012-2013 academic year.

    it means you can choose specified courses from their "course pool", which, from some angle, means you can design your future career, sort of things like that....quoted from official website...
