    I did CS in TCD. The CA course in DCU was very respected by my peers and probably held a little more weight than the CS course in UCD. Overall though I'd say your grades and side projects matter a little more than the University in this regard.

    I'd probably argue the TCD CS course was the toughest as the H C3 maths requirement means TCD students are a tiny bit more mathematically literate which is a useful attribute in CS. Also afaik TCD has stricter failing rules. You can't complete a year unless all exams are passed and failed modules can't be carried forward.

    Plenty of graduates from each University have gone on to the other Universities for post graduate courses.

    This is also the case with DCU.

    Which course is "better" is most likely entirely subjective. All three courses are highly respected in the industry. I would say just read through the year to year course structure contents for each course you're looking at and use a combination of which of those you find most interesting and the actual college you would like to study in for four years as a basis for your decision.
