Are you sure? I read many bad reviews about them

I also read bad reviews

bhai tum berlin campus me ho ya bad honnef

Yes it is I’m also pursuing same degree and it is hec verified which means you can get local jobs too, it gives a good impression on your cv that you’re studying from a well known university and it doesn’t makes a difference, it is a bit expensive compared to our local degrees but if you perform good throughout your university you can get scholarships in masters as they’re recognised internationally as compared to our local degrees.

​@@syedarsalan._hey

Yes you can

The bad reviews about student tech support gave me pause too. If you are on coursera there are other options for an MS in data science

I am not sure about international exchange for all the universities but it’s less likely that the online degrees will have a international exchange program. And mostly these online degrees don’t offer great internships opportunities for students like you have in a physical degree soo you usually end up applying for jobs yourself.

I am assuming you are asking about UOL CS degree. Well the assignments are 7/10 some projects are really great with structured and manageable expectations for the projects. But some are just worst at sucking the life out of you with the graders expecting way too much and guidelines being not that clear ending up in a mediocre grade. However overall the assignments are alright. But I have learned quite a lot even from the worst subjects so I am not gonna complain about them much. Contact in case of questions about the subject is whopping 0/10 because you can leave comments on the tutor group and maybe able to ask about assignments but usually you have live webinars before the mids and the finals only clearing the air about examinations. And the only lifeline for students is the Slack group of all the students with groups for different subjects where students help each other out through out the course and that community is a solid 9/10. But just keep in mind that throughout the degree it will you, coursera videos and the internet along with the slack group. However contact in case of questions about technical issues is 6/10 for most students and for me it’s around 8/10 because I have never had many issues but students when run into issues like deferring and exam, feee issues or sometime plagiarism issues run into really long delays due to poor management. But for me it’s been a smooth experience throughout with a few issues in between but they were sorted out by management. You usually contact them using either email or help portal. And in this past year they have improved they email support and management a lot but there are still many issues students are facing. But if you just keep on taking the subjects, passing them, and repeating the process, you will probably won’t ever run into any issues. But if you ever do run into any issue, then never hesitate to email UOL and keep on knocking at their door until they fix it. I hope this was helpful.

Hey there - this is what is mentioned in the faq's for this question - Your certificate will show that you have successfully completed the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. It will also show that the awarding body is the University of London with academic direction provided by Goldsmiths, University of London. The certificate does not mention Coursera or online study.

Hey I am glad you found the video helpful! I have seen many people studying Law at Bachelors and Masters level. I have a friend who just completed his Bachelors from UOL and he got some good offer for Masters in the UK for a physical degree. So yeah I do think these degrees at both Bachelors and Masters level are great. But I would recommend you to check the reviews on Reddit as well and some feedback from existing students. Students also have Facebook group as well.

Thank you Faizan! This is super helpful! I have studied a LLB degree from UK in a physical university but now that I have a job I wanted to do an online LLM which would help and your answer did help a lot since I was sceptical. Also, I wanted to know if the convocation ceremony takes place in person?

@@fionamehta11 Yes, usually they do have convocation ceremony for all the online students but it’s up to you if you wanna go or not. They usually send an email for it months before the ceremony.

Hi Fazian, Would you please help answering this question?

I am currently doing an internship as a DevOps engineer. And well tbh these days employers don’t even care about the degree, it all comes down to skills and experience. If you have skills and good portfolio, no one really cares if you have a degree or not. I know a lot of people working in tech without a CS degree and earning quite well. Although the degree will improve your chances of getting through that first round of Resume screening but after that it’s all technical questions. And I haven’t had any bad experience or weird questions being asked about the degree, so far everyone has been treating it normally.

@@FaizanJavair thanks dude, good luck. your videos are good, see you 🐸

You can looks at almost 15k to 17k pounds or more for the whole degree. Per year you would almost be paying 3.5k to 4k pounds. Per semester its almost 1500 to 1900 pounds. Again this all depends on where you live. Btw I am talking about UOL CS degree here, other degrees will have different fee. I hope this was helpful.

Actually I am still in my last semester and yeah so haven’t gotten my degree yet. But you can also get the degree by mail if you don’t want to go to the ceremony.

Thanks, @@FaizanJavair!

For physical degrees usually you apply through UCAS or on the website of the university. And mostly same is the case for online degrees as well because coursera or edx will eventually lead you to the university’s portal to complete your application. Note that coursera and edx will mostly be just the virtual learning environment, and you will end up completing all the registration process on the university’s website and will be in constant contact with university during your degree and application process.

You can, but after you have completed level 4 and 5. Meaning in level 6, you can transfer to campus but fee is significantly higher compared to what you will be paying online. Also it depends on the degree as well, some do allow on-campus transfer while some don’t. But for my degree at least, BSc CS, students do transfer on campus. Just apply for it in the start of the year and keep a look out for due dates for those applications so you don’t accidentally miss them. I hope this answers your question.

@@FaizanJavair Oh okay. So by level 4 and 5 you mean the semesters? Thank youu for the information , and yes I'm pursuing Bsc in CS as well so this on campus fits me. Is there any information on the website of this university about this , I couldn't find, I had watched all of your videos so I thought of asking you.

@@user-ed7js8co8x ahh no, by level 4 and level 5 I mean like subjects that are in level 4 and level 5. You will probably need to complete both level subs to proceed to transfer on campus. Ideally when you complete the degree as a full time student by taking 4 subjects per semester, then you can think of level 4 and level 5 as year 1 and 2. I hope this explains it better.

Ooh okay thank you so much

Do know where I can find information if Bsc psychology degree can be transferred on campus

You would have to confirm this from your Higher Education Council in your country. For me in Pakistan, it is the HEC which does recognise this degree. You can look up on the website of the department or contact them directly.

I am not sure. But you can look at Reddit or email university if they have provided you with one to contact them. Or maybe find a group that has MSc Cybersecurity students like on Reddit or Facebook and maybe you can ask them.

upgrad

All you can do right now is wait. It takes time for it to show up for everyone. If it doesn’t get uploaded in the next 2-3 days then it’s best to email UOL directly. Usually, whenever you encounter any issues, just email UOL. I am assuming you are already in the Slack group, you can then easily find the UOL email in search.

but I recieved an email yesterday saying welcome to community and stuff and then when I access my vle from that link there is nothing @@FaizanJavair

Hey! I am glad you liked the video. Well my course allowed me to take a maximum 4 subjects per semester so as a full time student, I was able to manage 4 subjects together. However for people with a full time job may find it hard to manage the both. People then usually take 2 to 3 subs to put less pressure on them. But usually the pressure increases during midterms and finals otherwise mostly you can manage things quite well if you give equal time to each subject every week.

@@FaizanJavair Hi thank you Faizan !

So for University of London at least there aren’t any sort of scholarships or financial aid available as far as I know. I am not sure about US online degrees but you can always contact those universities and confirm from them.

nope

Hey Piero, thanks for the comment! I see you have reached out on instagram as well, I have answered you query there. Cheers!

@@FaizanJavairplz answer his question here so that we should also knoww plzz

Will HEC give equivalence against any MS or BS from Coursera ?

Hey, actually no. The minimum time you can spend is 3 years in a British degree.

Actually no, the transcript usually says the mode of study as ‘Online’.

Actually UOL doesn’t have any scholarships for their British Degrees however I am unsure about the American Universities, for that you would have to email the university or contact through their enquiry system and get the details.

I have applied to many remote jobs, and yeah I am still in my final semester. And till now I have gotten two interview calls after applying to soo many junior roles and internships. And finally one of them hired me as an intern a few days ago as a developer (this is a remote job that I am talking about). The interviews went very well and not once they asked about my degree. However I did told them about what I have studied so far and they asked questions about the things I know about. But it all comes down to skills, knowledge and the willingness to learn. If you show all of them then yeah companies will hire you. But beware that finding remote jobs will be much harder than finding one locally in your country. But once you get it, then it’s all uphill ride. Mostly these days recruiters just look for skills and yeah having a degree in the resume is a plus but it never guarantees a job.

​@@FaizanJavairthank you for your honest reply 🙏 it really helps me to make the right decision here... I am currently doing a lot of research about this program and I am seeing a lot of reviews criticising the long time it takes to answer queries and mails, e.g. saying it takes forever to get your results back, as well as technical issues, e.g. saying that they paid for a module but they had no access to that module.. Would like to know if this is true or if you've had a different experience to these comments Thanks a lot again

Yeah they are, it adds to your resume and skill set. But again a piece of paper won’t matter if your don’t learn anything from it so learning is the key, and for some cases you don’t even need a certificate for that, KZfaq is great too.

Hey, actually no, unfortunately you can’t complete the degree in one year.

Yeah they do offer LLB courses online as well. You can probably look at Reddit for reviews, just type in UOL LLB Reddit or something similar on Google.

@@FaizanJavair it's only short course there on coursera i need to do undergraduate degree is this not possible?

The transcript will show the mode of study as “online” not the degree it self.
