Hey! I'm also looking at the masters at City - I want to still live at home and study part-time, so universities in London are the ones that I've been focusing on, even though I've heard that Edinburgh is good as well. City university comes up a lot because of its great links to industry, but its topics seem to be more focused on application rather than the hard maths/stats behind the programming.
I was pretty set on City until I heard about Birkbeck - is anyone else considering this uni? The lecturers' research projects there look really interesting, and apparently their research has been rated world class. But I don't know how much impact this really has on a day-to-day basis for students. Any insights from anyone would be super helpful!
