Official University Thread!:D

[Freeman]

Not sure if I'm going yet but I've applied to Warwick, Nottingham and Kent to do Business Management. Really not sure what I want to do with my life, haven't been sure for about 5 years now (since I left secondary school).

 

[Raikiri]

To study what? Are you waiting on any other universities?

I got accepted at a few others that I applied for (Plymouth, Portsmouth etc.) but Sussex was my first choice. BSc in Multimedia and Digital Systems. Starts with the normal web design, networking, database etc. and then branches out to more advanced CGI and such.

 

[snowdog]

In sept:

Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences
Will be doing : Computer engineering ( Electronic and Computer engineering / Computer Systems Engineering)

Which is basically these things:
Programming.
Databases.
Computer systems.
Maths.
Projects.

Bah, scummer!

At least there's one member on here to add to my army What halls you opting for?

Harry Law, apparently there sposed to be the most fun

Harry Law, apparently there sposed to be the most fun

My girlfriend's there, the kitchen facilities are awful. You'd be much better in James Watson, Margaret Rule or Trafalgar Hall.

 

[Knubje]

I'm sorry to hear that, you have my condolences

You and me, outside, now

 

[fiveub]

I am hopefully graduating this year!

 

[SlyReaper]

Graduated last year with a maths degree from Warwick. Best 3 years of my life. I now make missiles for a living.

 

[int]

Currently waiting to hear if I've got the funding for my PhD at the University of Bristol

I am hopefully graduating this year!

Ditto, and it's flown past.

 

[Helios1234]

Got an AAA offer from Imperial for Electrical and Electronic Engineering for 2009 entry

I just can't wait to go and enjoy the freedom and the people and not having to wake up at 6:30 in the friggin morning every single day

Sweet! Imperial is a great place, I'm in my second year there now.

So far 4 Conditional offers at Jordanstown and 1 at Queens. Not getting what any of them are looking though, so i'll not be hopping from HND to Y2.

Just a quick question, what modules would you say Computer Science consisted of? Like, networking, programming, database etc.

Sure has mate, scary thinking about what to do after education. I have been in education since the start of my life. -

Computer science goes way past that kinda stuff (or it did when I did it), look up stuff like computability and complexity, turing machines, algorithmics, boolean logic etc etc. You basically go into the mathematics and guts of Computer Science.

Unless they've dumbed it down to courses in how to make something move about in Flash.

 

[Slinger]

I go to portsmouth, in my first year ! I am in trafalgar halls,

dont choose harry law,

either James, traf or marg.

I've only ever been into james as well, never been into others.

Those were only listed as an example .

Yea, I took it as studying computers in-depth, learning how/why they work and all that, touching on assembly and firmware programming etc too. And mathematics, a main choice for picking it was a love for maths in highschool (although that was a few years back, could fail at it now ). But I think I am wrong in thinking that for Jordanstown.
I remember also reading on some forum that programming positions look out for Computer Science degrees, but during a presentation day at the college the head of their IT faculty or w/e its called said, computer science has the lesser programming and software engineering is the more choice for that. Even their website describes computer science and software engineering being closely similar.
It sent my mind haywire since I'd been planning on computer science for a while now after discussion about it with someone I used to see on css. He described doing comp science with a years foundation electronics or something like that. Unfortunately I only see plain vanilla comp science at Jordanstown, with an optional module at Y4 of AI, Software Engineering, etc.
I am still sticking with my computer science, hoping I've made the right choice.

I should probably just get a job in tesco after my HND and save all the bother.

 

[Cave_man]

I'm going to uni in september hopefully, portsmouth aswell actually need to get my qualifications first as my offer is conditional

Living in southampton at the moment but in halls if i get there.

So far 4 Conditional offers at Jordanstown and 1 at Queens..

Hah! If you end up at QUB just hope your department is more efficient than the School of Biological Sciences!

Sure has mate, scary thinking about what to do after education. I have been in education since the start of my life. -

Yeah, tell me about it. If I don't get one of the PhDs I'm applying for I'll be looking for a job, and in the current economic times that's not something I'd like to try!

 

[Stratos]

Going to Portsmouth too! Computing, cant wait! Halls are either James Watson or Margaret Rule.
