    Hi,

    Does anybody know a good site to look for survey responses from people in Ireland? The survey is for my Postgraduate course in Business Management and boards.ie won't let me post a URL.

    If any of you could take the survey too, that would be great.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thanks

    [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hi everyone! I am unable to decide whether I should pursue MSc pharmaceutical sciences at Trinity College Dublin or Cellular manufacturing & Therapy at NUI Galway. I completed my Bachelor's in Pharmacy as an undergrad student.[/font]

    [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Background/thoughts: I have an internal war like situation between by heart and brain. On one hand, i think that that the cellular manufacturing course will add a new insight to my career but I'm also worried about the job opportunities after completion of my postgraduate studies, as it is a new subject. When I think about trinity, it is a top-end University but it is rather a regular course. Please give me a lot of suggestions so that I can confirm my seat before the deadline i.e on 04/20/2018. Thank you in advance :)[/font]

    Is a PgDip looked at by an employer as less favourable than a Masters ?

    I am looking to commit to 1-1.5 years max online or part time at a college in dublin, but I definitely wouldn't be interested in anything 2 years part time.

    I've a lready been to college and the bachelors 4/5 years part time and it was a long slog, a bit of a nightmare juggling work alongside it.

    I can't afford to go at a course full time for 2 semesters, but I'm wondering if I do the postgrad diploma is this grand, removing the need for the masters which is usually 2 years part time

    TIA
