Which Computer Science Masters course?
I’m looking at doing a masters course after I finish my undergraduate Computer Science degree at the University of Leicester. I’m currently on a placement year working as an AI consultant for some additional context.
My grade for my 2nd year (my most recent year) was 77%, so I’m hoping that would open most courses in the UK up to me. My course is not super theory heavy, we cover the essentials of computing theory and mathematics but I would quite likely struggle with a course that’s extremely theory heavy (though I am willing to put in the work for a course that would benefit my career greatly).
Which Computer Science masters programs are worth checking out? I’ve been looking at Imperials Advanced Computing course, but I honestly don’t really know where to start with my search. I have done my placement year in AI and data, but I’m not married to the field.
I’m looking to work in industry rather than continuing my education beyond a masters.
Additionally, how what would my admissions chances be having studied at Leicester? I am seeing around a 15% offer rate for this top masters courses (Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, Edinburgh etc), would you expect my history to give me a higher or lower chance of receiving an offer on these courses?
Would love to hear your personal anecdotes about courses as well as courses you know to be well regarded.
