Course content is really full on and don't be fooled by them saying you are taught as if you have no prior computing or maths knowledge as that is absolute bull****. Coursework gets incredibly hard and frustrating when lecturers on't include everything that we need to do as they expect you to know it already. Prepare to literally spend nights in the 24/7 labs, but I guess the money is worth it if you land a good job afterwards. read more

Generally liked the course, despite the effects from covid. If you want to program I would recommend applied software engineering more than the computer science course, because computer science is more theory based, although there is a good amount of coding. Abacws is a nice building. Staff personality’s range a bunch so you’re bound to find people you like. Discord channel is a must. read more
