Msc Computer Science - what's a typical week look like?

Hi there,

I've been offered a place on the full-time taught Computer Science MSc, intake September 2020.

I'm just wondering if there are any previous graduates who would be able to give me an idea of what a typical week looks like on the course?

I know it's a 40 hour per week commitment.

However, I'm wondering how much of that is "on campus / face to face" i.e. tutorials / lectures etc.

For example:

- Monday: lecture 2pm - 6pm
- Wednesday: lecture 10am - 12pm / tutorial 4pm - 6pm
- Friday:lecture 4pm - 6pm

etc

I know with the covid-19 situations things will understandably be "up in the air" and so previous schedules might not reflect what I'll experience, but I would like to hear previous graduates' experience.

Thanks so much!

All the best

Hi both, I got the offer today too. Excited to start the course and a bit nervous because of the whole covid thing. I too was wondering what the timetable would look like as I'm planning to work part-time and would like to assess if I'd be able to.
