    There is some information on the Sligo IT website here.Did you have a look at it?
    Surely you would have researched it before you applied?

    The software development course would be 3 year course with a common first year accross software development, database management, systems and network, and games development (I think).

    It is a good choice if you are not sure what to do as you can change between the programmes at the end of first year.

    This allows you either to focus on or avoid programming after the first year.


    The course also has a placement in the third year and there is a one year add on degree.

    tbh, they are very similar courses. The core subjects are common to both. I did the software course, its a very good course and the college is starting to get a very good rep for their IT graduates, as they have done so well in the imagine cup for the last 2 years.

    not fantastic at the moment, but that can be said about any profession at the moment. it will get better, in 4 years time it should have long recovered

    yea, when i did the course, there was no web stuff in first year, it started in second year, you will do a lot of detailed web stuff in year 2,3 and 4 (if you do 4th year). creating web sites, email servers, email clients...... things like that
