So you could just accept that and after you finish second year of that course you'll have your level 6 qualification and you can just slot into 3rd year of level 8 computing. So really if you were planning on continuing on to the computing course its practically as if your doing the level 8 anyway.

I really wanted to do computer science & software engineering through arts in nuim but I only got 330 points and it was 350 I'm not sure should I just take one of my offers, or look into repeating the LC or transferring courses after year 1 or 2 or just stick with what I got offered ..

Sorry if that's a really weird/awkward question :L

I know a bit about HTML and will learn abit of code over the summer. Hard work won't phase me as it's something I'm determined to do ill work as hard as needs be. It sound good 7 months to go )

I'm a first year student doing the Honours course and heading into the 2nd semester next week. It's a good course but be prepared to put a lot of effort in at home as well. They teach the basics at the start so you don't need to know programming and html very well prior entering the course. There is very good job opportunities in those courses you've choosen and won't have a problem finding jobs either.

I personally dont complain about it because its very doable kind of an easy pass and no end of year exam, come on !

One of the lads mentioned you can repeat the assessments after christmas and in August or something without having to repeat the module? Repeating the module's €1100 which is a joke. It's only 200 quid in most other colleges.
