UCD are currently looking for applicants for the Msc in Advanced Software Engineering (a great title for a course!). I’m currently finishing up the dissertation on it , and would recommend the course, both on the basis of the content, and the format (6 weeks over 2 years + exams + dissertation). You’re still dealing with academia, but at least academia trying to look out at the real world.
More details , including how to apply , and in Mel’s mail below
