    UL looks the best, but thats just on course titles which is not really enough to judge.

    I know someone who is a past pupil of UL - they did not do this course.
    They know some one in the computer area of UL and this person told the past pupil of UL that they have employers contacting UL for grads of this course.
    UL has a good name for grads. I know 3 UL grads in there 40's and they have had some good jobs in various companies in Ireland and abroad.

    After going through the module descriptions extensively for each course, UL is my favorite one. I just said I'd put it up here to see what other people think. Thanks for the replies.
