Any Students??

I have actually been there for a Linux course for a couple of days. It's not really a very grand University and completely different to Bristol. It seemed as if 90% of the students were of Pakistani/Indian origin on the course, it was a bit of a culture shock lol.

would u not suggest there then? it does look quite gd for the pics and said to be gd for building surveying

When did you move there? Sounds like quite a change!

Back in September, and yes, quite a change. :D The decision was taken in part because I'm a loser, part because I'm a home bird that needed to sever his invisible umbilical cord, and part because the EU made it so god damn easy for me to go. I fly back on Friday. ;)

How you finding it? Do you get Encase/FTK certified as part of the course?

I'm in my 2nd year at University of Westminster studying Computer Forensics MSc part-time.

2nd year doing IT at aylesbury college.

Pretty crap tbh but only a few months left so no point dropping out now.

Yeah, I finished a BTEC National in IT 7 months ago. Sucks big time. As far as web goes, ide like to get a career in it but college didn't provide me with enough skills to give me the confidence to go straight in to it. For example ide need a job with training. I feel IT courses try to cover to many areas and touch n go. We spent not even one month on PHP then we moved on to the next language.
 
I'm a second year Chemical Engineering PhD student at Cambridge. I research into closure methods and developing more accurate algorithms for doing CFD simulations of chemical reactors undergoing multiphase reaction. The work is very interesting, but coding makes you want to tear your hair out sometimes :p

You're not using FORTRAN are you? :p

I'm doing my masters in CFD.
 
Computer Science at Hull, I'm in my first year.

Unsure as to whether I'm enjoying it, I still to this day don't know why I didn't do a degree in maths =/

Mostly - the program that I have developed uses C, Python and FORTRAN. FORTRAN is actually pretty quick for parallelised linear algebra of the CFD variety, so is a useful language to code in. It's nice and simple for idiots like me too . . .

Do you do software/algorithm development as part of your masters? I studied CFD as a module on my undergrad (Sheffield) and everything was doing in FLUENT. The CFD module here is completely different - the students are given a skeleton code and asked to complete all the discretisation and coding themselves. I think the Sheffield approach was probably better, as if you're going to be doing CFD in industry it will be done with a commercial code! It's just my job to convince my industrial sponsor that it is worthwhile paying a code monkey :p
 
In my second and (thankfully) last year at college where I've been studying a BTEC in IT.

Had a few conditionals to study Computer Science in September!
 
Graduated last year, 2:1 in Chinese. Very jealous of everyone who still gets to be a student. Mind, I'm up sipping vodka at 6am on a Monday, so I haven't totally left the lifestyle behind :p
