As an ex-programmer from Asia I happen to be in a conversion master programme of CS in UK now. I totally agree with you that you don't pay so much for the knowledge, because nowadays you can learn almost everything online for free. But if you need a CS degree to prove yourself in job market, or an opportunity to work in UK, that would be different.
@@karolinasowinska Yeah fully online, half-year's Zoom university so far XD. But now I can make friends from various cultures, which I couldn't before.
Hello, I'm studying Electronics and Communication Engineering in India and planning to do MSc computer science. Am I eligible to directly or do I have to go with conversion computer science?
@@kesavanm3788 The UK is going to release a new visa policy, so you may have better choices now. Especially if you have several years of related study or work experience, it's possible to get a job directly without a local degree. Study in a conversion master's programme is a more cautious way if you don't lack time and money. (personal idea above)
Thanks for your video! Im also a student studying Economics and mathematics in undergrad. I'm now waiting for a response from Imperial. Wish all the best!
Excellent message! I agree, education is very important. However, a lot of people out there still think that universities are the only place where you can an education from. Like you said, we can now learn in/on many places. Keep the videos coming.
As someone currently on a masters conversion in this department (at a different UK university) I feel a bit short changed by it so far. I think I went in to it naively thinking I would be taught like it was an apprenticeship but I'm actually essentially teaching myself 95% of it, which I could have done anyway WITHOUT paying thousands to go to lectures to be told what to go and study. Then there's all the strict academic rules regarding assignments which is back in my life after many years since originally leaving uni. High stress, high cost, it bloody better be worth it at the end is all I will conclude with.
Totally relatable. What you do get is a diploma/something to put on your CV. I think it's worth it/it does make it so much easier to get a job in the field. Good luck with the studies!
Yes I have First degree in an Arts subject , completed an expensive very demanding MBA from a good University in Scotland but have now started another Masters in Computer Science which I'm finding the programming side very tough . The thing is you could learn all this yourself through the web and reading various books but employers would be not as impressed as from Imperial College , UCL or even Birkbeck College or Oxford or Cambridge Universities !!!
I liked how honest this video was. I have a BS in EET and I was thinking of getting a master's in CS, but I had some doubts. Now, I am not sure what should I get next.
Hey! I can't remember very well at this point, but ultimately the schedule didn't matter. Everyone was either in classes or in computer labs basically all the time!
Hi, I've heard that the conversion Master's at Imperial is very competitive (obviously they ask for a 1:1). Apart from good undergraduate grades, do you have any tips on how to make your application stand out? What did you write about in the personal statement since it's hard to write with little experience?
Thank you for this video! As a law student, I've always felt a lot of pressure to become a lawyer - but I'm not sure whether I want to be a lawyer. I've always had particular interest in legal topics which intersected with ComSci like internet regulation, data protection, and copyright law. Being able to be qualified to do both Law and ComSci has always intrigued me and this video has really helped explain the ComSci conversion course really well! Can I ask though what level of maths is required to do the course? I don't do a STEM degree and my maths is not very good X_X
It depends on a particular MSc course. Check their requirements on theirs websites. I imgine there are courses that don't require you to have ay background in maths! :)
If you are an EU person reading this, aside from going to the too universities in the UK I would instead pick Denmark or other countries of the Nordic area where you will deal with language issues of course , but the big plus is that the entire course is for free and you don't get a loan you have to pay afterwards. Arguably if your target market is the UK you can say that the cost you pay for can get compensated on your upcoming salary which will be a lot easier to get i you do the course in the UK. The thing about the course is that it not only has structure but what having structure means for the employer (and yourself). That makes it quite specific about what it is you can do and to what extent can be expected of you without of going in the trouble of hackathons or similar things while job hunting.

I'm studying Electronics and Communication Engineering now. Am I eligible to do MSc Computer science directly or do I have to go with conversion computer science? In my Current UG I had 4 modules regarding computer science till now and I'm also having programming skills like Java, Data structures and algorithms, HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
In some universities they will accept you for Advance computer science courses like Loughborough University but some universities prefer you for conversion courses so the point is you need to choose wisely while doing application.
Hey! I have a medical background and want to do a conversion MSc in CS with Data Science for transitioning into research. However, since I am based in EU, I have to do it online and the options are therefore scarce (only low ranked unis such as Sunderland, Keele, Wolverhampton etc offer online options). Do you think it's worth it? Given that conversion MSc are generally frowned upon by employers and to that you'd add the modestly placed universities. Worth it or not? Regards
Hii.. You told that the course employability is very good. So are you and your batch mates employed and happy now?? I am from India and did study economics(same as you) in my undergraduates and currently looking to get into some conversion programme.
Hi I'm from Kerala, India. I've completed Electronics and Communication Engineering (B Tech) in Kerala. But my decision was wrong I'm in to CS. I don't want to work in Electronics field. What If I do Msc in CS (Information and Communication Technology to be specific) conversion course in the UK, will it be worth it? Is this is good idea?. And I want to settle in the UK too, is there a possibility to get a skilled worker visa after this?
oO i had memory management in my first or second semester of studiying game engineering - i agree its really usefull but i wouldnt go do a master for it ^^
I think for you guys the best thing about a uni course is getting the visa to work in your intended country! too bad India doesn't have enough good opportunities
It is... Many people don't pay it off in their lifetime. But it is a relatively safe loan, and if you don't earn above a certain threshold, you won't have to repay it.
@@karolinasowinska I am asking because I have missed out on the opportunity of a computer science degree apprenticeship which would pay for tuition fees, I have an offer for a standard computer science degree for which I would have to a student loan out for. I’m debating whether it would be best wait and apply for the degree apprenticeship next year or just going with the standard degree
@@unwrittenfilms9958 it's hard to say what's better, but I'd be probably leaning towards getting a degree, just because many employers still want to see it. Paying off the loan is basically like paying a tax on your earnings - it's taken automatically, and you don't have to worry about it if you don't have a job. I think it's an ok deal!
@@karolinasowinska Yh I agree I think i would rather pay it than wait a year for a very competitive degree apprenticeship 😅. Also I wanted to ask, would you recommend a year in industry (and what can I do to increase my chances to get a top tier year in industry) and do you know if the tuition fees are less for a year in industry?
@@unwrittenfilms9958 Yes, I'd recommend it! And yes, the tuition fee is way lower. To increase your chances, work on some projects on your own to build a small coding portoflio :)
Uni is not a game changer anymore , now a days if you are good at something there are lot of ways to let people know... and internet gives acces to knowledg to almos every one. But you have to put the work on your own, Tho one thing that universities are good at, is networking and pushing you to get things done. So, moral of the stoy... if you go to uni just to get a degree,probably you did something wrong, uni is all about makingconnections By the way... Dont you wanna be my friend? (I am linving in an adult world as well)
IMO, getting a formal uni education these days is just to show employers that you can commit and/or work hard at something. I totally agree that you can get most of the information online. When I was living in London I ended up doing heaps of MOOCs for programming in my spare time for about 4 years while I was working at a pub. At the end of 2020 I decided to go back to my home country Australia and study a degree in applied computer science. I'm absolutely shredding my degree, I would go as far to say that some of the MOOCs i've done were much more difficult than my undergraduate computer science courses. I would also say i think that the course delivery method of unis are so out-dated. 2-3 hour lectures to deliver content, big oof. Universities cannot compete with online learning it seems, because I learnt better and found it more enjoyable with MOOCs even though I'm doing well at uni. I still think there is value in a university degree, but I feel that may change soon if they don't 'modernise' their approach.
what are MOOCs? also do you know of anything a non-tech student who wanted to apply for a comp conversion masters could do to brace themselves for the content? thanks!
Both are great and depend what you’re looking for. Data Science are relatively new. The government are putting investments in some Data Science courses.

Paying off the loan is basically like paying a tax on your earnings - it's taken automatically, and you don't have to worry about it if you don't have a job. I think it's an ok deal!
@@karolinasowinska Yh I agree I think i would rather pay it than wait a year for a very competitive degree apprenticeship 😅. Also I wanted to ask, would you recommend a year in industry (and what can I do to increase my chances to get a top tier year in industry) and do you know if the tuition fees are less for a year in industry?
@@unwrittenfilms9958 Yes, I'd recommend it! And yes, the tuition fee is way lower. To increase your chances, work on some projects on your own to build a small coding portoflio :)
Uni is not a game changer anymore , now a days if you are good at something there are lot of ways to let people know... and internet gives acces to knowledg to almos every one. But you have to put the work on your own,
Tho one thing that universities are good at, is networking and pushing you to get things done.
So, moral of the stoy... if you go to uni just to get a degree,probably you did something wrong, uni is all about makingconnections
By the way...
Dont you wanna be my friend? (I am linving in an adult world as well)
Agreed! I probably didn't do enough networking myself. Definitely, let's be UA-cam friends! :)
IMO, getting a formal uni education these days is just to show employers that you can commit and/or work hard at something. I totally agree that you can get most of the information online. When I was living in London I ended up doing heaps of MOOCs for programming in my spare time for about 4 years while I was working at a pub. At the end of 2020 I decided to go back to my home country Australia and study a degree in applied computer science. I'm absolutely shredding my degree, I would go as far to say that some of the MOOCs i've done were much more difficult than my undergraduate computer science courses. I would also say i think that the course delivery method of unis are so out-dated. 2-3 hour lectures to deliver content, big oof. Universities cannot compete with online learning it seems, because I learnt better and found it more enjoyable with MOOCs even though I'm doing well at uni. I still think there is value in a university degree, but I feel that may change soon if they don't 'modernise' their approach.
what are MOOCs? also do you know of anything a non-tech student who wanted to apply for a comp conversion masters could do to brace themselves for the content? thanks!
Pursuing Master degree in DataScience 🥳 better than ComputerScience 🤔
Awesome! I hope you're enjoying it! :)
Both are great and depend what you’re looking for. Data Science are relatively new. The government are putting investments in some Data Science courses.
c++ has been rendered useless. if you learn c+ and python. you can use java e.ct c++ is no good any more. im a computer tech/programmer for 25 years
If you are not busy tomorrow, we can get married?
Would you like to apply for PhD?
