Abstract
In 1979 the Irish Government identified areas of manpower shortages. One of the areas identified was computing. The University of Limerick (UL) responded by providing a one year full-time programme aimed at honours graduates from all disciplines. The programme has been running for more than a decade and has achieved a high degree of success. This paper describes the programme content and structure; provides some statistics about the output and discusses other issues regarding the provision of such programmes.
