    Hi guys,

    Need some input. Im currently in my 3rd year(out of 4) study in Computer Systems Management in IT Carlow, and i've started thinking about doing a Masters after.

    Two masters degrees in particular caught my eye, Msc in Cloud Computing with the NCI and Msc in Computing & Information Systems. Of the two i have a great interest in Information Systems, which looks to be covered more throughly at DBS.

    Both are courses I would like to take however, so what will help me decide is the colleges reputation for masters degrees. DBS as far as i know has a poor rep for undergrad degrees and NCI seems to have a good rep. Does anyone know what way employers view these colleges?

    Thanks a mil for the help! :D

    Adam

    Have a look at the MSc in Cloud Computing at the IPA. Very hands-on. Run in conjunction with UCD.

    Reputation of colleges is a tricky one. I personally am wary of private colleges here in Ireland.

    Have done a couple of modules in NCI and found the quality varied. Can't judge a whole institution based on a few lectures.

    In general UCD, DCU and TCD are better respected for IT.
