That course is titled "Bachelor of Science in Software Development and
Computer Networking", it is an excellent course with an up to date
curriculum, it covers semesters of the CCNA Program (Cisco Certified Network
Associate - The industry standard for network engineers) The course also
covers Linux because Network Engineers are going to have to know how to
build a DNS with Linux etc..

I also know that the course has an excellent java programming lecturer.

regards,

This reminds me of a funny article from the Examiner a few months back:

I  believe it was Larry Ellison who was giving the key note speech at
Yale's Computer Science graduation. He was talking on saying how they
would all have good jobs paying $100,000 a year. And then pointed out `But
you cheques will all be payed by your friends who quit college to work in
the industry, and are all earning $200,000 a year!'

Although I happen to believe college has some good uses, but anyway.

With one exception! There is a very good course there (typically I can't
remember the name now). Its the one sponsord by Cisco. I have a mate going
into 4th year in it atm. Very Cisco orientated (funnily enough), and there
is aparently quite a bit of Unix training too. Although not specifically
Linux, but I am told "this will be changing next year".
