Very true cjard, i'll have to start asking around employers to see what it is i'll be expected to know/do etc. I also need to make sure I'm doing well enough to continue my masters at the end of this term (anyone who isn't doing well enough is awarded a crappy diploma and can't continue with the masters), but the mark needed is only 50%. I'd really have to mess up to do that badly, but anything can happen I guess.
