    I'm back to college in Sept and cant decide what to do

    The computing course I wanna do comes as a Full Time 2 year Higher Cert, which you can automatically progress onto an ordinary degree (3 years), or an Honours Degree (4 years)

    The same course is 3 years Part Time for a Bachelor of Science in Computing

    So, on paper, 2 years Full Time = Higher Cert, and 3 years Part Time = Bachelor (degree?)

    Obviously on paper a degree looks better than a Cert

    But the higher cert covers a lot more modules

    E.g you do Software module 1-6 on the cert course, but you only do 1-2 on the part-time degree


    Financially, Part Time is looking way more doable, but I dont wanna end up coming out with "half" a degree if you get me

    Heads melted, so any advice would be amazo

    cheers!!
