If that's the BSc in one of the Irish universities though it should be decent enough. .

Lads thanks for all the advice and thanks for taking the time to answer,(last thing )I'm just trying to work through all and any options available and rate them on suitability, The only other course that I came across was the bsc in computing and IT course on Open university and was was wondering what the general consensus is on this course and would it suit and more importantly if the industry would recognise it ? a breif outline in the spoiler.supposedly a level 8 on the nfq

[B]Stage 1[/B]

You?ll start your Stage 1 studies with My digital life (TU100)My digital life::While you?re learning about tomorrow's technology why not help build it? [I]My digital life[/I] takes you on a journey from the origins of information technology through to the familiar computers of today, and on to tomorrow?s radical technologies. You'll get hands-on experience of designing, building and programming the small, ubiquitous computers that will become increasingly common over the next decade. The profound technological, economic, political and ethical changes brought about by information technology will affect every one of us. This key introductory Level 1 course will help you prepare for that ? think of it as an online survival kit for the twenty-first century. (60 credits), which gives you hands-on experience of designing, building and programming the small, ubiquitous computers that will become increasingly common over the next decade. You?ll also learn about the profound technological, economic, political and ethical changes brought about by information technology that will affect every one of us.
Next, you?ll develop your mathematical skills, choosing one of two 30-credit modules ? Using mathematics (MST121)Using mathematics::This broad, enjoyable introduction to university-level mathematics assumes some prior knowledge, as described on our MathsChoices website. The course shows how mathematics can be applied to answer some key questions from science, technology, and everyday life. You will study a range of fundamental techniques, including calculus, recurrence relations, matrices and vectors and statistics, and use integrated specialist mathematical software to solve problems. The skills of communicating results and defining problems are also developed. This is not a course for beginners ? at the MathsChoices website (mathschoices.open.ac.uk) there are quizzes, sample material and advice to help you determine if this course is right for you. or Discovering mathematics (MU123)Discovering mathematics::This key introductory Level 1 course provides a gentle start to the study of mathematics. It will help you to integrate mathematical ideas into your everyday thinking and build your confidence in using and learning mathematics. You?ll cover statistical, graphical, algebraic, trigonometric and numerical concepts and techniques, and be introduced to mathematical modelling. Formal calculus is not included and you are not expected to have any previous knowledge of algebra. The skills introduced will be ideal if you plan to study more mathematics courses, such as [I]Using mathematics[/I] (MST121). It is also suitable for users of mathematics in other areas, such as computing, science, technology, social science, humanities, business and education. ? to underpin your further study of computing and enhance your employability.
Finally, the 30-credit module ? Technologies in practice (TM129)Technologies in practice::This course provides an opportunity to sample some of the key areas in computing and information technology. You will be introduced to three subjects as tasters for your future studies and career: networking, Linux and robotics. Studying these subjects will enable you to develop essential skills if you are considering future employment in the computing and IT industry. You will be applying what you learn to develop a portfolio, to demonstrate your skills and understanding in these areas to potential employers. By studying this key introductory Level 1 course you can also begin to explore where your future career ambitions might lie. ? will offer you an opportunity to sample some key technologies enabling you to develop essential skills and to explore where your future study and career aspirations may lie.

[B]Stage 2[/B]

At Stage 2, you?ll begin your specialist studies in software development. You?ll learn how to specify and design computer programs, and develop your programming skills using the object-oriented programming language Java. You?ll use industry standard software tools such as an integrated development environment and the Unified Modelling Language (UML); and you?ll also learn about the analytical techniques and processes essential for designing, specifying and implementing a software system including a graphical user interface.
The solutions development option explores the application development processes that underpin the world wide web. You?ll learn how to analyse requirements, plan, design, implement and test a range of web applications, and how to develop programs using Visual Basic.

[B]Stage 3[/B]

[LEFT]Stage 3 studies build on the knowledge, skills and understanding of the specialist subjects you studied at Stage 2.[/LEFT]
You?ll conclude your studies with an individual project on a topic of your choice, which you?ll research, develop and write up ? presenting your findings in a substantial report that you can show employers as a portfolio of your work.
