    I am an international student, currently trying to decide whether i should go to Britain or Ireland for my Computer science degree. Have you got any relevant experience in dealing with the British education ? Do you think that it is now on the same level with the Irish one ? I know Irish Govt is now investing big money into education, while Britain seems to be more concerned with their health system for the moment. 
    Any help is really appreciated !
    Btw, sorry for my bad English :c

    In broad terms, the Irish and English 3rd level systems are quite similar. Generally speaking, an honours degree from one institution should be comparable to another.

    Questions you should be asking:

    -prestige of the institution (Note: NOT world ranking, these are quite misleading in some respects)
    -cost of attending (fees plus living expenses)
    -resources at the institution

    And so on.
