At last a degree that can cater to the hearts and minds of everyone who posts here.

Althought the entry criteria are a bit steep for some of you.

Asking for a 2:1 in Computer Science - its going to end up being a course full of nerds. I' m sure they' ll count industry experience as well if there was a borderline case.

I must be missing something. Apart from the fact that it' s a 1 year Masters, ...what makes it so different to mine?

What' s the qualification you are aiming for?

An MSc normally means just a few extra letters after your name as well as a BSc/BA, but in most industries those letters are worth a couple of extra years experience, so theoretically one year spent doing the course saves three working meaning you should get promotions earlier.

I' m working on doing an MSc in my spare time just for that purpose.

This might finally tip the balance of power in the industry away from the jocks.

My college is only a 10 minute walk from Trinity college, just some useless info for you all.

So anyone who does Computer Science is a Nerd? So are you calling me a Nerd?

I agree it would be f***ing boring.

Yes and I don' t see the big deal in being a nerd I prefer geek but either way I feel more like I am part of a superior race rather than the underdog.
