University:Plymouth

What are you studying? Bsc (HONS) Civil engineering an CAD (the CAD shouldnt be in the title really from the amount I've done :mad: )

Period: 3 years repeating second year at the moment.

Do you like what you're doing? NO! well some of its ok but mainly NO!

Do you like the University and do you like your chosen subject area? I like the subject area I thought I was going into (CAD) but they seem to have neglected the fact that the course sounds like it should be heavily CAD based! :mad:. Plymouth is alright though.

Career Ideas : I have a job as a CAD operator but the contract fell through and i havent been given any work yet. :mad:

So overall pretty ****** off! gotta keep smilin though :D ;)

3 Year course and I'm in the second year of it.

Do you like what you're doing?

Love the uni but some of the modules in my course are quite dull.

Career Ideas

Not too sure yet, I'm going to try and get a placement over summer through a scheme called graduate advantage. Hopefully this will give me a better indication of what I want to do.
 
Going to uni this september (Hopefully) so I can't say. Seems like there's a lot of Medicine students :eek:

Period
How long is the course and how much have you done?

year 1 of 4

Do you like what you're doing?
Do you like the University and do you like your chosen subject area?

Hell yeah I like it. Lots of people get to uni and realise they picked the wrong course and they don't like it. Glad I'm the complete opposite.

Career Ideas
What you're looking into, and list any job(s) you've been offered.

Computer games programmer hopefully.


The course is good, its a challenge (in my first year doing GBA developement using assembly/C :O)

Wow that's cool. I wouldn't have expected you to do something like that in your first year! I've had a play with GBA programming (while I was still in school in my spare time) and it would certainly be a challenge especially for people with little or no programming experience. I made a little FF6 clone on the GBA. I grabbed some sprites from a website and got an animated character to walk around a room. It's not much but I learnt a lot from doing that.
 
University
University of Plymouth

Subject
BA/BSc Geography (Hons)

Period
1st of 3 years.

Do you like what you're doing?
Yes. It's great at times, the Geography department is huge. Only thing that annoys me really is money problems which never seem to go away.

Career Ideas
Something that pays well but isn't an office job *shudders*
I've considered doing Officers training in the Army. But otherwise, I really don't have a clue. As long as i'm happy, I don't mind.
 
University
University of Strathclyde

Subject
BSc Software Engineering

Period
5 years (including 1 yr placement). Currently in 2nd year.

Do you like what you're doing?
The union :D (one of the best in Scotland tbh). Really enjoy the course, very relevant material, course is delivered in a very practical and friendly / informal manner. Cover Java, C, ASM, Sys Analysis / Sys Design, DBs, HCI...all the important stuff. Highly enjoyable in my eyes.

Career Ideas
Probably full-time Software Dev, with ideally being able to work on a mix of Open Source and Closed source software. I'd also consider a job as a Systems Analyst. Also if I didn't get an offer to return from my placement employer, I'd probably stay on and either do a Postgrad. or become a research student for the department.

Hated it at first, but it's much better now, and more interesting. But the exam are all screwed up, and in my best management subsiduary module last semester i got 32%, whcih is physically impossible as i aced at least one question which was lifted from a past paper. STUPID FKIN UNI :rolleyes:

Career Ideas
Am looking into internships at the moment. Possibly Rolls Royce, shell, aston martin, or a local engineerng firm recommended by a family friend who knows the CEO. :D . Id love to get into motorsport, ideally F1, but that's the ultimate!

Oh my god, we're going to have a world full of investment bankers! I'd be interested at how many actually know fully what they do, and why everyone wants to be one, I have a feeling it's just the money factor.
