getting into imperial Computer Science: 2:1 From Loughborough

Hi,

I am currently a Graduate working, but I am looking to further my education profile. I graduated from Loughborough with a 2:1 (67%) in Mathematics. Would this be sufficient to get into Imperial Science's MSc in Computer Science.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

Be warned. According to users who have done the Masters, they are going to work you very hard. And I don't mean "average uni" hard. I mean 50-hour job hard.

Is that just at Imperial or all Universities that offer MSc conversion courses in Computer Science?

Hey there - I looked into the MSc conversion course in Computer Science at Imperial (I'm assuming you're talking about the same course). The only entry requirement was a 2.1 in a non-computing subject (good GCSEs, A levels etc. are also part of the obvious requirements too) - I rang admin and they confirmed this. I do not even have an A level in Maths, yet I would still be considered as meeting the entry requirements for this course (and it is a competitive course too!). So, I think your 2.1 in Maths will be more than sufficient for an MSc in Computer Science at Imperial. If you are talking about a more advanced MSc in Computer Science, then I don't know...

Universities seem to differ on the requirements of the level of mathematics needed for their MSc courses in Computer Science. The course I want to do, at Bath, is quite specific about a good level of Maths as an entry requirement. So, I'm hoping to do this 'Mathematics for Computer Science' evening course at the University of Oxford.

Good luck!

I have only heard the "omg, I am being worked so hard" experiences in relation to Imperial.

The course looks hella tough too

Have you got the sites / threads of those people if possible, id love to find out more!
