I was looking for a masters in software engineering to gain the latest on topics I wouldn't typically familiarize with during my working hours. I needed something which was compatible with a full-time work and when I saw the MSc organized by UCD I thought it was the perfect formula: full-time lectures so that you can really focus on attending college but just for six weeks a year and then assignments which I did at home, followed by exams. The chance of meeting people with different backgrounds and experiences also attracted me as networking and getting a different perspective from people working in the IT industry who weren't my colleagues was also uplifting.
After several years of experience I didn't really want to specialise on something very narrow and the UCD proposal is quite broad and gives you the latest on research on some amazing technologies and methods while valuing the pragmatism of labs and practical results.
I have to say it was also refreshing going back to college and brought me back to regain a deep level of concentration that is simply unreachable in an open space! I highly recommend this masters degree; it's a great chance to meet interesting people and broaden your knowledge on the hottest topics in Software Engineering."
