The course from my experience has been very helpful in allowing me to build on my skills and apply my learning directly into assignments. Which have translated into positive results. Lecturers are very helpful within workshops to come and help. One of the issues that many experience is time is limited especially when you request a one to one meeting online you are limited to a 15 minute slot which also applies to in person workshops. It is understandable given the number of students that they have to reach. The course is very open with promoting industrial placements and getting involved with internships. Helping students improve there options for jobs when they come to graduation. I have been able to sucessfully land a placement with a guarenteed graduate job straight after univeristy. read more

Great overall course experience. I had some really, really great lecturers, and some lesser enjoyable ones, but none that were outright terrible. Wish there were more employer events and trips to jobs/worksites. Otherwise it's decent. read more

Well I was having difficulties with my school work and life activities because I arrived the Uk very late and was trying to balance my schedule. The lecturers were really supportive and understanding about the situation and always asked if I had issues with my coursework. I like the fact the lecturer gives you mock exams to help you know your strength. read more

So, it's too soon for me to talk much about this course. But to be honest, I'm not very happy with it so far. I'm doing a master's in Computer Science (Conversion) - So I don't have any background in computer science. I really think the course would be more about learning how to code and more practical, but, instead, we have been writing a lot and not doing much coding. Also, the conversion course shares lots of modules with the advanced computer science masters, which I don't think it's fair since most of us don't have a background in computer science. I like the uni, the experience I'm having in Chester and the people I've met here. But honestly, I'm not sure if this master's is preparing me for the job market. If this wasn't a conversion course it would be okay, but as a conversion course, I was expecting much more of them. Especially regarding learning the basics of computer science, data structure and algorithms. I really hope it gets better next semester. read more
