Anyone here applied for MSc. Computing (Specialism) ? I applied to the Performance Modelling stream and got accepted. I'd be glad to know of someone who will be going this year.

Hi,
I have got an admit for MSc - Software engg.
Where are you from ?
And what are your plans for accommodation ?

[imperial23]

Hey,

I'm from Malta, you?

[diV1ne]

Living in Cyprus for the last 2 years but originally from India. Have you got any email regarding accommodation from Imperial ?
Also are you planning to live in private accommodation or the one offered by Imperial (seems to be much more expensive) ?

Hey,

MSc Advanced Computing. From Ireland.

When are you guys moving over? I won't be until Sept. 22..

[imperial23]

Im going to live in private accomodation, imperial's seems to expensive. I'll be moving in around duul's time, 22nd September.

[duul]

Do any of you guys have any recommendations on course material (lecture slides, books etc) or know past students? I'd like to take a look through it over the holidays...

[imperial23]

Unfortunately I don't know anyone, I'm just going to wait until the year starts.

[diV1ne]

yeah ...i`ll also stick with private accommodation as imperial is very expensive... but i am not sure how to proceed about it..

btw... you guys have work ex or freshers ?

[imperial23]

what's work ex / freshers?

[duul]

diV1ne, with work ex do you mean work experience? If so, do you mean as part of the course?

EDIT: I'll have to complete a project / dissertation. It can be undertaken in collaboration with Imperial's industry partners. But it's not a work placement as such.

[imperial23]

oh yeah, I think I also have that option, I think if I get the chance to do it with an Industrial partner it would be great for future opportunities.

Your MSc (Specialism) is basically a rescyled MEng course (undergraduate degree). So basically your modules are 3rd and 4th year modules. So you'll be taking subjects with the UGs. Just to let you know

That's fine, I saw the subjects I can take and I haven't done them in my undergrad. The fact that some of my classes are with UGs are fine by me.

Thanks. Fine by me :-)

I suppose that Imperial doesn't host old lecture slides that I could look at over the holidays?

Could be, but I doubt they make them publicly available. If you do get your hands on them, kindly pass them on, thanks!

Sure thing. Will do.

I had a look around - Lecture notes for courses 312, 422, 470, 484, 491 and 493 are all accessible to the public. Looks really interesting so far!
