On: Unemployment among UK computer science graduates

Northumbria Uni has 'HTML, XHTML & CSS for dummies' and 'PHP & MySQL for dummies' on the reading list of their Computing and Information Technology MSc.

One of the programming modules in the same degree is titled 'Programme Design & Implementation'.

A lot of UK MSc courses are "conversion courses" for people with degrees in others subjects and who want to get into computing.

In my experience the level the MSc courses are taught at can be a good bit lower than the undergraduate courses in the same department.

NB This doesn't apply to all UK masters degrees, obviously. Some of the 5 year courses are really good.
