Hey all! I received an offer for the MSc Computer Science conversion course at UCL a few days ago and thought I'd get a thread started for current/potential offer holders.
Also, if anyone is on/has done the course before, any advice, tips or feedback is more than welcome!

I haven't but I've moderated on a similar course at QUB. What was your undergrad degree, and what is your current experience with CS/tech?

Engineering, all my CS knowledge was self-taught over the summer, mainly python and some ML stuff

How have you found ML? It would for sure be a great dissetation project for your masters and it's never too early to have a think about it.

You'll be fine then to be honest. The people I've seen struggle have a) had no coding experience at all b) come from a non-STEM background (e.g. their undergrad was in law or politics).

Congrats! I am still waiting and I applied one month ago. How long does it usually take for them to make a decision? 6 weeks?

Nothing except the email that tells me they can’t be precise about the time they reach a decision...

My undergraduate is Engineering too and I got upper 2:1 in my Year 2. Also self-taught ML and python but I did not hand in the code they require since I got programming modules in my undergrad...Have you handed the code?

It’s called ‘programming for engineering’ and it’s actually basic MATlab coding.

I didn't submit any code. I did say I was self taught, and did MATLAB on my course tho in my personal statement

Just filling in my application now...
For those currently working does anyone know if they contacted your current employer?
Not sure if I should use my current manager as a professional reference or someone from before, I haven't spoken to my work about my plans to do the MSc yet...
