    phD in computing in DCU, funded by IRCSET. Anyone else find themselves trying to build timemachines so they could stop their young and naive selves from starting this hellish quest for an extra bit of paper?

    Starting an MA in Development in DCU come September.
    Possibly the worst named masters ever, as develoment could be developing anything.
    It's international development, poverty related stuff.

    O rly? I was offered a place but didn't want it, doesn't seem to mix disciplines enough. Joe Cleary is in charge of it though isn't he? Nice guy, gave me my reference and was always very helpful. Good luck btw!

    That's what I am thinking, not so much the subject of the PhD, more the approach, impact to family life, job prospects, etc.
    Hey

    I applied to Trinity to do a post grad in social work, the interview was way back in March. I have tried to get in contact with them, but they havent returned my calls! Should i take it that no news is good news? Has anyone else applied for social work for the 2009/2010 session?

    My PhD is printing as I type! :)


    My brain is fried, eyes rolling in the back of my head, and I'm still in college at 1.47 on a friday night/ saturday morning.

    So, was it worth it? Ask me another time!!! :D
