It is school of engineering and applied science which is where the course is situated respected ? .

Thanks in advance.

Thats what ive been told because its a BA. Computer science is very interesting and gives a lot of skills which is why am looking to go aston. A university being academically good is important more than anything but if the campus is so ugly it can be a bit of a put off.

They were probably joking considering the recession right now. Though Computer Science is definitely a respectable degree at a good university.

I'm not too sure, I didn't look at it when I was deciding on my choices. What are your other choices?
