    Hi all,

    Just wondering has anyone studied the M Sc in IT Management or the M Sc in Distributed and Mobile Computing?

    I'm thinking about studying the M Sc in IT Management this September but I'd like some feedback on it first!

    Thanks,
    Cathal.

    Thats the BSc,

    The MSc is a bit different ;)

    There are common modules between the 2 Masters course however the electives and mandatory subjects are different. For the D&MC Masters the emphasis is on development of mobile/distributed applications with some electives on law etc. The IT Management course is geared towards the business end of computing - tech law, strategic management and finance and such.

    There should be an open evening in the IT on Thursday 16th June ask the guys there, they tend to give excellent advice on which path you should follow considering your own skillset.

    No butters personally I haven't yet (still undecided about D&MC in ITT or Advanced S.Dev in UCD) , but I know a number of people who are in the process of completing or have completed both courses, from what they say (and I am slightly biased towards the D&MC masters as I have more info on that) is that the course is very good, well taught and particularly challenging but you get a good grounding in the subject matters covered.


    And Gavin...tut tut you'd think with some of the lecturers you've had (in particular a certain s.Dev 1st year Java lecturer) you'd pick up small details like that ;)
