Msc Computer Science

Hey guys, I am applying for a Msc in Computer Science and was wondering what to put in my personal statement. How have you all found the application procedures, etc? Also what advice would you give for someone who has never done Computer Science before (this course is specifically tailored to that group of people). Thanks!
Taken from the UCL Msc CS page, I found answering these questions particularly helpful on mine:

why you want to study Computer Science at graduate level

why you want to study Computer Science at (Insert university)

what particularly attracts you to this programme

how your academic and professional background meets the demands of this programme

what mathematics experience you have to meet the requirements of the programme

what programming experience you have

where you would like to go professionally with your degree




Good luck! :smile:
