Is Computer Science a respected degree as it does combine elements of maths , physics and engineering and IT. Also i got an offer to study computer science at aston university , is the department any good for computer science ?. It is school of engineering and applied science which is where the course is situated respected ? .

Thanks in advance.

[im so academic]

visit the uni and see for yourself

do you have other offers?

[Arsenalforev]

Yeh but for other subjects , currently stuck between choosing business and computer science at aston or BA (Econ) Economics at University of Manchester. The rest of my offers aint that good.

[avaas]

aston is rubbish , but im comparing to the likes of the top ten unis and definitely no where near manchester , i live in b'ham so know , it lloks like a high school and doesnt rnak well . mnchester is a really acdemicaly rewrading uni , possibly abreakthough in the future in the worlds top university institutions.

[Arsenalforev]

But i have been told that a BA in Economics is uselss so i feel compelled to do computer science at aston because i like computer science in general and i heard aston had a good business school.

[avaas]

aston does have a really reputbale business school , prob top ten for business and yes im also din comp science and have a offer from aston , and yes comp science is a very respetced field which is logically chalengin and career propsects and bravo like systems analys , softare engineering , even investment banking.... at least your doin doing somehting like theology

[avaas]

sorry at least ur not doin something like theology,

[Arsenalforev]

Does Aston really look that bad , am going to an open day soon but is it really mank.

[avaas]

its noa acedmically bad uni though, but the business school looks nice ...

WHAT?!

[Arsenalforev]

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.

[avaas]

i think a degre in economics as topmanfaz suggested is very rewarding... check it out , dont rely on someone else... btw im off to do some revision , 222 many examss

[avaas]

go to the aston open day and then make your mind

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

[Arsenalforev]
