Anne-Gaelle Guilcher
MSc in Computing"I found the course to be both challenging and rewarding as it gave me the opportunity to acquire a valuable accreditation whilst enhancing my computer expertise. The modules on the course are extremely interesting and beneficial, knowledge of which will prove useful in the IT marketplace. In terms of academic staff, I found them to be very informative; they were also capable of imparting knowledge with ease. I studied part-time and found the lecturers and administration staff to be very flexible and accommodating. This meant that the academic duties of a part-time student and the day- to-day professional duties never conflicted."

Syed Jaffar
MSc in Computing"Following the completion of a four-yearhonours degree in Computing Science in Griffith College, I decided to study for an MSc in Computing Science at GCD. Both the lecturers and the administrative staff were very co-operative and friendly. I also made lots of friends from all over the world. GCD helped me get a job in an international company, CLIENT-LOGIC, as a Software Developer for the six-month work placement in third year of the degree course and this was the starting point of my career. Later, I was offered a permanent position. Currently I am working as an IT Manager in an Irish company. I would not be where I am now without GCD."
