Choosing the right University/Degree

[Tomas888]

Hi,

I'd like to ask you for some help, I would like to choose a degree that has the highest potential. There are 2 courses that I believe I'll choose from:

Staffordshire University: Computer Networks and Security
Computer Networks and Security
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/assets/Compu...cm44-36642.pdf

Northumbria University: Ethical Hacking for Computer Security
Ethical Hacking for Computer Security - Northumbria University, Newcastle UK

Both these courses have really interesting content. In Staffordshire I could finish my studies with a CCNP qualification which might speed up things a bit (which I feel a great need for as I'm already 25 years old) while in Northumbria one needed more UCAS points to get in and also afaik it's a more recognised university than Staff. So, from the employability perespective this is a though decision... Please help me to choose.

Anyway, there are 3 more places I have offers from but I think these would not be as good choice as the courses mentioned above so I'd like to focus on those. These courses are:

Cyber Security

Leeds Met - BSc (Hons) Computer Forensics & Security

Thanks for any comments or help. Tomas

Bit of a mistake posting in General, but as you wish.

I'll delete the one I moved to Business/Contracts.

My advice has always been - do the course that holds the most interest. You'll get more out of that than anything else. While university and course taken is a factor in your first job, it's only a factor and after that it won't matter a jot.

Ignore the wit (well, half of it) and he should be ok.

Originally I posted this in Technical by accident, this is still better Thx.

As this is General, I've added the obligatory Andy W option. It's best not to ask why, but it helps keep the natives pacified.

Do not go on any course that includes word "hacking" in it.

"Computer Networks and Security" is by far more professional name for the course, chances are so will be the content.

Are you sure you want to ask a forum where most are in work about a degree? Have you considered the university of Bangalore? Much cheapness, provide best quality degree in whole world!

Though personally I like the Leeds course - the state loves to meddle in our affairs and this is going to increase.

This is how I chose these 2 courses out of the 5 I have an offer from... but I cannot make a final deision.
