"I love the combination of computer science and management modules as some of them overlap, allowing us to use knowledge from our previously taught classes. It creates a symbiosis of understanding the subjects in the broader sense, as everything in the world is connected."
You’ll spend 15 to 20 hours per week in lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorials. You will also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. You’ll meet with your personal advisor regularly to ensure that you are settling in and progressing well.
Taught modules are usually assessed through a combination of exams and coursework. Lab-based modules are often assessed through practical coursework, while more theoretical modules may be assessed through in-class tests, exercise sheets or written assignments.
Group and individual project work forms a significant component of assessment. Project modules are assessed on the basis of a written report, oral presentation and demonstration of the concrete outcomes of the module, e.g. developed software.
As a student, your home will be the Mile End campus. You'll spend lots of time in our Informatics Teaching Lab (ITL), which is only used by Electronic Engineering and Computer Science students. This lab is made up of 300 fully networked multimedia workstations, which run both the Linux and Windows operating systems. The ITL is due to undergo a £5.8 million refurbishment, funded by the Office for Students.
The labs are open seven days a week, generally between 8am and midnight. Students can also gain remote access to the School’s computing facilities 24-hours a day.
We have a number of students employed as 'module demonstrators', who are available in labs to help first and second-year students to navigate software and programming tools.
Alternative offers may be made to applicants taking the Extended Project Qualification.
