I’m in my 3rd year of a college degree in business computing, would have preferred to study computer science but didn’t want to be even more in debt by having to move away from home nearer to a university that taught this, so I decided to stay at college and put up with the business modules.
I keep seeing more and more companies asking for graduates from “recognized universities” and was wondering what the difference was in taking the same course at university as opposed to college? My course may be taught at college but its verified by a university and approved by the British computer society, so is this any less respected?
I always assumed that the companies are just being ignorant, but after hearing from other people I know, and looking at the course information for similar courses at university, it does indeed seem as though I do less work.
I study 4 modules per semester, these modules are normally marked by a single report of 3000-4000 words, or two reports of 2000 words. Every semester there is at least one presentation, and as I am in the final year I have just completed an 8000 word dissertation. I rarely get exams, maybe once a year. How does this compare with what I would be doing at university?
