Kingston University Computer Science
Hello, I am planning a transfer as I am not happy at Greenwich University. I am just wondering if people doing CS in Kingston are happy with the lecturers and the modules as I feel some stuff could have been a lot better in Greenwich. It seems like Kingston shows more languages compared to Greenwich as well, we are just doing Python in one module, did a bit of SQL in one and used assembly & bash ONCE in the other one, they did not even teach us assembly or bash in that module and we had to figure it out ourselves. We will be doing more next term, like Scheme but I feel like we could have done more languages. Thanks for all the inputs, please be brutally honest about the modules & lectures as I don't want to decide to transfer and have the same issues in Kingston too 
also forgot to add, I am doing CS with AI so will be doing that in Kingston too.

Hi Umaiwa,
I'm a first year in CS and so far the modules and lectures have been mostly useful. CS with AI shares modules with CS so hopefully my experience is relevant to that. All modules have a lecture and a workshop to follow up on it. The lecturers are happy to answer questions in the lectures, but for more specific questions or help the workshops provide a more interactive experience where you can ask helpers or the lecturers about anything.
Our main programming module focuses on the fundamentals of OOP programming and goes through Java, Python and Javascript and the lectures and workshops are informative. The computing fundamentals module goes through the theory side of CS, language wise it briefly goes into Assembly, SQL, JavaScript and HTML. We also have 2 coursework modules related to professional environments and developing a program.
So far I havent experienced any major issues with the modules or lecturers and I feel like help's always there if you need it. In our second year onwards I've heard that we specialise more and pick modules that are relevant to our career path which might be more engaging because it's more specific and to your interests.
Hope this helps 🙂
