Finally…
When I started university in 2005 I had a real love/hate relationship with it. I loved the student life, loved living in Belfast, all that was great, and still is. On the other hand I really didn’t like my course. I chose to go to Queens University, to study computer science, because I vaguely enjoyed working with computers, taking them to bits, building them, building websites, all that stuff. The course however was pretty much a degree in Programming/Software engineering, which turned out I really hated.
So in second year, QUB introduced a new IT pathway. Computing and IT, it was a more general IT degree encompassing other disciplines, and putting less of a focus on development.
I did a placement year, working in IT, and then found it very difficult to settle back into uni for my final year.
Final year was hard work, and took a lot of effort and stress. It paid off though, I was the only person in my pathway to get a 1st, and as of yesterday I am Connor McCullough BSc (Hons)
