Choosing a Software MSc

Hi. I applied to Glasgow MSc software development in January and I have done heavy research on their course structure.

It is very robust and actually contains advanced programming in the second semester.

I also went through Strathclyde’s program and ordinarily, they offer a specific course which I fancy the most (Mobile app development). However, in my opinion UoG appears to offer more courses

Have you checked the MSc Computer Science course in Bath: https://www.bath.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate-2023/taught-postgraduate-courses/msc-computer-science/

How would you rate this course compared to the Glasgow Software Development MSc course?

Coincidentally, I also applied to the MSc Comp. Sci. at Bath and got accepted.

The Glasgow program covers topics such as advanced programming, algorithms and data structures, database theory and application, software engineering, and cryptography. These topics are highly relevant to the development of software and the management of IT systems.
I would argue that they are more practical oriented too and heavily use Java language.

On the other hand, the Bath program covers topics such as principles of programming, software engineering, databases, foundations of computation, artificial intelligence, and cryptography. These topics are also highly relevant to the field of software development, but with a more balanced focus on theoretical and practical aspects and apparently more AI & ML courses.

Personally, I have always wanted to attend UofG, however I also love Bath and would be glad to go to any of them.
