Is City, University of London good for computer science in 2023

Hi, I got an offer from City to study computer science there and I was wondering if computer science is a subject that is good to take at city since I have other options like University of Westminster and Greenwich university. Things like how many days you attend a week or the quality of the teachers would also be helpful. Thanks for any help.

no its horrible dont go

I am a former employee of City, but I’ve worked at three other London computer science departments, and as admissions tutor for three universities. Given the three listed, City has a much higher reputation… it’s a 1960s Uni, and was a prestigious College of Advanced Technology before then, and was a pioneer computer science department. Like all CS departments it has strengths and weaknesses. City’s strengths include data science, visualisation and HCI, and a major question you should ask yourself of any department is what it’s strengths are. If they don’t align with your interests, it’s not a good fit. For most fields, City is substantially stronger than the other two. If you’re just interested in computing with little idea of flavour, City is a safe bet. However, happy to recommend any London institutions based on your preferences. I currently work for Melbourne, so I’ve no specific axe to grind re. London institutions.

Hi, I have recently received an offer for an online MSc Computer Science programme at City. Do you have any information regarding their online programmes? I'd be interested to know about the quality of the teaching and any differences between the online and on-campus programmes. Thank you in advance.
