this degree has defniatley opened the door for me (and others in my year). The university has such strong links to industry here and the university is considered to be one of the best in europe for this sort of stuff. The master's is expensive (£5000) but worth it because it's only 1 year, it's really good fun, excellent links to industry, you meet loads of people who will be your peers in the workplace and future contacts etc. A degree is worth it for sure! in my case it was my first degree that really helped me (BSc Computer Science).
They are looking for experience but they also realise that people need jobs to get experience and that's where the degree helps. It proves that you are hard working and can maintain a level of discipline over an extended period of time.
