Do we pay full fees when on work placement (3rd year computing)

techguy

Hi,

This is something that never crossed my mind until somebody told me the other day. When I go into 3rd year computing next year will I pay full fees ~€5000 even though the second semester involves a 6 month work placement and is treated as just one module on the course.

Do the college expect us to pay full whack even though we will only have 1 module in the second semester?

Hey there, no you don't pay full fees

Brilliant isn't it? The only way you'd pay is if you don't get a placement, then you'd have to do the Cisco course.

Yip as far as i remember.. You might have to pay 150euro for the 'placement' some sort of administration fee.

you pay 3/4's of the years cost.

They tried to get me to pay for the full year. Sent me giro after giro. Sandra i think her name is in student fees/accounting.. shes a bit slow.

She wrecks my head! Never sent me my Giro... I was begging them to post one out, had to go to the office to get one.
