Anyone know much about this place? The quality of their courses compared to other colleges offering the same or similar qualifications? For example, their Computer Science degree is three years full time, accredited by University of Hertfordshire. Would it be likely that a TCD, DCU etc graduate would be given priority with all other things being equal on a CV?

Their MSc in Computer science (here) only sits at level 7 on the NFQ according to their website.

Most Masters would sit at Level 9, which means they are NOT equivalent by Irish NFQ standards. And therefore I'm not sure they have an equivalent degree to DCU/TCD etc.

It may well be a great course, but I would be sceptical of its merits. As for how good the college is, I have no idea, but hope this info helps with your decision.

That appears to be a tad generous to call it an MSc. It's a totally different framework, as the previous poster points out, so appears to be equivalent to an Irish ordinary level degree.

Their BSc courses do appear to be on the correct framework, so do appear to be of suitable standard.
