Course Curriculum

8

  • Curriculum is very relevant and industry standard(but you have to choose the correct subjects)
  • The course is research-oriented. Hence, every report you need to submit should be like a detailed research paper. (with all appropriate sections)
  • On average, just two hours a day of classes and tutorials, Timings from 8 to 5
  • Depends on the course, actually. Hard courses typically have 15-20 people. easy courses typically 150+

Admission Experience

  • The world ranking of the uni, the scholarship they were giving, the curriculum, the location of the uni (especially the country, didn't want to choose the US coz of the entire mess)
  • GRE: not required. TOEFL: I think it was somewhere in the range of 96-100, not quite sure

Faculty

8

  • They are approachable and are very knowledgeable. Ratio must be somewhere 1:20-30, I think, not sure.
  • Milos Nokolic, database professor. amazing!

Campus Life

8

  • There are numerous clubs and events taking place, but for MSc students, they often lack the time to focus on them due to their busy academic schedules and coursework. No summer vacation either, because we will be working on the dissertation. So it's a jam-packed 1-year course.

Part Time Jobs

  • RAs do not apply to MSc students. TAs are there, and they can work for 20-40 hours /semester. Not sure about the pay.

Placement

4

  • Not much idea. Almost everyone is struggling to land a job now.

Accommodation

Off Campus
10

Exams

  • TOEFL/IELTS, statement of purpose, 2 letters of recommendation. undergraduate degree certificate, undergraduate transcript, CV

Fees

  • It was around 35000 GBP
