difference between MComp and MEng

hey everybody.. i know that the MEng is the undergraduate master for engineering... and the MComp for Computing or CS

but what else is there different about them? some universities offer MEng CS and others MComp...
i'll have an offer confirned for an MComp in CS .. however i think i'd rather do a MEng which is more challenging and has better prospects?! is that true?

thanks and good luck :smile:

I'd expect the difference to lie purely in the course, not the degree type. It could be that the MEng involves more hardware/electronics aspects and the MComp is more about software/computation/mathematics but that's really just speculation. I'd check the course content and ignore whether it's an MEng or MComp as that will give you a far better idea of the course. If the course is respectable and you do well in it, I can't honestly think why an employer would choose an MEng over an MComp.

The actual name of the degree you get at the end is pretty irrelevant. I mean many 3 year courses are BSc yet the uni treats Comp sci as an engineering subject.
