In first year at least, the content is often surprisingly easy, particularly when it comes to maths topics. Lectures are quite frequently cancelled or run shorter than scheduled, and even when they do run there's only 5 hours worth a week. There is no other scheduled direct contact time with teachers; "practicals" involve completing independent exercises and asking slightly older for students for help, who are not always super useful. May improve after first year. read more

Teaching quality can be hit and miss depending on the lecturer, but I don't imagine this is any different with other Universities. You will find lecturers who's style you enjoy and those who you don't. I will say that on average it is pretty good, and the Stage 1 support in place is brilliant for transitioning students. Value for money is a three because University in general is a scam for money - you'll slowly realise that most students pay for Powerpoint driven lectures. I guess the blow was soften a tad with Computer Science given the investment in facilities surrounding it. read more

Lots of course flexibility (can easily change between the other CompSci courses such as Game Programming) as well as the options of combined masters and industrial year which you can switch onto later.
