Apologies brother, I wish I could reupload but I can't. I guess opening up captions works well. I'll try not to have same problem in the next videos!

It's totally ok just wanted to mention so you can improve your next videos Your videos are helpful thanks for your content From iran

Really apologies for this. I know many people had this issue. But I guess try opening up captions it might help. If you need any other guidance or help you can reach out to me on insta or Twitter.

You have monthly webinars and you can get in touch with the assigned tutors if you are just fully online. But answering your question, there were some people who were applying for Master's and the University wanted a Letter of Recommendation, upon emailing University of London, they did say that they'll provide the students who asked for it. I guess it won't be an issue as far as I have seen. I personally haven't asked for a LoR so can't say for sure, but yes there are people who were assisted on this matter.

@@FaizanJavair Thanks for the information and all the hard-work you put into your videos thanks for that as well. God bless you.

@@FaizanJavair are these monthly webinars compulsory to attend?

No, it's same as you would go on campus

Heyy, soo I have learned the basics of web development which includes the usual html, css and js. In introduction to programming 1 & 2 we used a different Libray of JavaScript called p5 js you can go ahead an look it up. A little introduction to python in software design and development, while we also did c++ in OOP. C++ was nice, they used a different method to teach it but in the end the last project really required us to self study and researching to learn new methods of c++ I wish they would give us a little more direction in that but well it was fine subject itself was great. With graphics Programming we are looking into different library of js for our physics engine called matter js and used it with p5 js to make some small games and graphics. And finally the programming with data has alot of python and using jupyter notebook. Overall I would say that they starting off with p5 js was a good idea to get us into basics fast. I wish software design and development had more coding side but it didn't. I already talked about web dev, although I learned alot but didn't got good grades cuz of vague requirements. OOP is nice, tutor videos are great, making some projects was really great but I wish they could have taken a traditional method of teaching oop which included basics first and then the hard stuff such as making a project or DJ app using c++. The other subjects I am doing them right now but they are good. But talkinh about the level 6 subjects, I'd suggest go on to the description and open up the world class github repl and check the syllabus for each of the subject. But it really depends on which specialism and subject you take but as I said, check the syllabus for those and you'd get a better idea that way. I hope this was helpful!

are you studying in London

@@grrpast5060 Yes bruv, I'm a current student at the University of london

I'd suggest opening up the captions it might help with that. Apologies for this issue. It probably won't be in the next few videos.

They are held on another platform called Moodle. Not on Coursera.

they are lol - but good on you getting into LSE apparently its extremely competitive.

If you graduate with a 2.1 in economics from LSE you will be able to get almost any high paying job. The question is what do u enjoy??

I hope you go for LSE. Are you already studying there. As long as you don't dropped out, all is well. I am sure even the Bank don't mind to give you a huge loan for that -speaking on behalf excellent but poor without bursaries student-. Economics is future too. And technology skills essential to that will be taught undoubtedly.

Hey, I did share a Github REPL link in the description. You can check each subject and go to appropriate links to watch some extra support stuff gathered by students. You can also download the syllabus if you want. Every course video covers the topics from scratch. There were some that required some prior understanding but mostly they explained well in the videos. Even if the videos failed to explain it properly, I always had KZfaq to help me out.

You are assigned a tutor for your online tutor group, they do have some webinars but mostly it's just you watching the well structured videos and sometimes a little vahue videos and working.

@@FaizanJavair but all subjects have these well structured videos?

Thank you for your video and those docs on github. You helped a lot!

@@AS-eu8ej Yeah there are 20 weeks in each semester and they usually cover 1 chapter every 2 weeks. So yeah that's the general idea. Sometimes videos aren't as good as they should have been soo youtube helps alot in that situation. And I am glad that I was able to help!

Really sorry for this issue. I'd suggest using CC for this video. Issue has been solved for other videos but for now I'd suggest using captions for this one. Apologies again mate!

@@FaizanJavair No problem mate, just having a joke with you. I can just about hear. Well done on making the video. Surprised none of your videos have been posted on Slack (unless I missed them).

@@DannyCallaghan Oh now I recognize this lad lmao. Man I wanted people to explore the video themselves soo I never shared any videos on Slack.

As much as I have heard, the final exams are gonna be proctored from the upcoming semester...? Is that true?

There are 2 hard deadlines each semester that you must follow, one is midterm due date and the other is final exam date or project due date (depending on the module), so no, you cannot have your exams whenever you want to, even if you finished the content much earlier, you have to wait until the specified date and time to take the exam as all others do.

It is not confirmed by anyone yet that exams will be proctored ongoing, just some maybes.

Ykw, since you asked for a straight answer, I'd say it really depends on skill you have. I have friends without a degree with relevant courses working full-time in the tech field. I'd say in terms value, international degree will be much better. And also, isn't BTEC a sort of high school diploma just like A levels? I would suggest going for a degree either this one or any other in your relevant country.

Hey, I am glad you found the videos helpful. Well yes the videos do have subtitles as well as transcript of whatever they said in the video right beneath the video so you can actually go to that point read that as well. I would recommend to try our some free course on Coursera to get a feel of the Virtual Learning Environment so if you ever go in, you would know what to expect from the structure of the modules.

@@FaizanJavair Oh thank you very much for replying to me. That's really nice! Thank you also for the advice to check out your free courses on Coursera.

Yeah, actually I never found any evidence for exams going "proctored" for this program specifically at the time of shooting. But if they do change something they'll probably formally announce it. The last email we got was a gibberish email that wasn't certain about if exams will be proctored or not, but for now they are online.

@@FaizanJavair Thanks for your reply but I have read that in the program regulation book in the website for oct 2022/23 and that's why I wanted to ask if that will be a new scheme or not. Yet thanks again.

Hey, soo yeah you are right, you'll be taking 2 subjects from level 4 and 1 from level 5. I'd highly suggest that if you are starting the session in October then make sure you take intro to programming 1 and discrete mathematics along with one other subject together. Because one condition of picking the level 5 subjects is to complete intro to programming, discrete mathematics and one another subject. And then you'll be able to take level 5 subjects with level 4 subjects.

@@FaizanJavair I'm yet to start so in my first year I should complete level 4 right. Still, I'll have 2 remaining for my 3rd sem. Am I right? also can I contact you over insta please. I've a few doubts.

@@ramsriperambuduru7741 yeah you can contact over insta no issues mate I'll guide you there!

Hey, I am really sorry for this. Opening up captions might help with this. But if you need any help, feel free to contact me on insta or twitter!

Thank you for responding. I wanted to know if the diplomas (Bachelor's or Master's Degree) you earn by studying remotely using Coursera are like the one you're doing at London University. Worth the same in the work market as the ones you get if you study physically there? Are there some differences, as I know there's no credit system when you study online?

Hey, apologies for a late a reply. Well 40% maybe bit of a stretch tbh. Most of the prior learning that this university considers was from the small certifications. So for example if you have done a Google’s IT certification on coursera then you can get credits for the ‘How Computers Work’ module. And similarly you can do the same thing for 2 to 3 more subjects which although does save you some money as well as time. But it doesn’t exactly translate to 40% of study-time. Well for the second question, there are soo many people doing this degree while also working full-time but they do struggle with managing both the job and education at the same time. Soo mostly they end up taking 3 to 2 subjects per semester to put less burden on them. But if you are good in Discrete Mathematics and some high school mathematics then yes you might easily glide over the topics they teach. But keep in mind that these mathematical subjects are time consuming. However for coding in the start, well it’s not that hard for the first year at least. The difficult bumps up a little in the second year with Object Oriented Programming and some other subjects but if you have an experience in coding then you won’t have issue working with C++ and with some other frameworks. But I would highly recommend going to the World Class REPL for UOL CS (I guess I have the link in the description) and check the subjects they are teaching along with syllabus soo you can see what they are teaching and how difficult they might be. Also yes, you can get into a physical masters degree after this one, many people have gotten into a physical university and got good offers as well even though people have many problems with the administration of this university but in the end they did got a offer. I also have some of my friends doing LLB online from UOL and they too got a good offer from some universities in the UK. So I don’t think you will have issues getting into a masters degree after this. I hope this was helpful and also apologies again for a late reply.

@@FaizanJavair Thanks a lot for such a big and usefull reply!:) Don't care about the time it had taken - we all live our own lives and you are highly appreciated by a huge amount of guys for all the information you give them in your own free time)

Hey Ahmed! So if you are in Pakistan then IGCSE subjects are mostly just general subjects you take but for A levels I took Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry (I didn’t took Computer Science) the pre-engineering subjects are usually enough to open all the doors to CS and to Engineering. Hence I only took these three in A levels. But I guess if you specifically want to go in CS then maybe having the Computer Science subject instead of Chemistry must be fine too. But make sure you know what field you wanna go into and choose the subjects you like. I hope this was helpful!

They don't really tell you to study. See, no one gonna be on you all the time telling you that you have to complete this certain task. Which means you have to manage your time yourself, as I showed in the video the coursera portal had every week divided soo as each week goes by you have to complete that task which also means that you will be able to access any material from the previous week as well and you can even complete the upcoming week work as well. Now I would suggest giving atleast 2 hours per day every week. Maybe check out my "How to study online" video on yhe channel, I talked about how to divide your time an effectively make a system to study online.

Hey, I think getting an internship/job totally depends on your skill. Degree these days just affirm the employer that you know the field but mostly they are looking for the skill. I will recommend if you went forward with this degree, then just make sure you do some side courses as well. Work on your portfolio, and skills as much as you can to add value to yourself which in fact help you out to find a good job or internship.

You have to complete all level 4 and level 5 modules, plus 5 subjects from level 6 + 1 elective and the final project in order to graduate. The level 4 and 5 each have 8 subjects. Just remember to pick discrete mathematics and introduction to programming 1 together since they are important one's to pass. DM is usually offered only in September soo yeah pick that. Also, each subject accounts for 15 credit hours. I hope this helps.

@@FaizanJavair I really appreciate it brother.Does it mean I have to choose either discrete math or computational math depending on when I register?Is it possible to fail a module and still graduate? I mean I’m not that great at math and I work full time which is why I am trying to know weather I should take this one at Univeristy of London or the one in open Univeristy.Also do I have to pay monthly fee for Coursera Access or it is covered by the tuition I am going to pay per module at University of London. Thanks a lot

@@sammo3207 hey, soo if you fail a module then you'll need to reappear in the next semester by attempting the part you failed. Now, discrete maths and computational maths are the only two math subjects and fundamentals of cs is like half math. But yeah you need to pass the modules. I have heard good things about open university too maybe yeah look into it too if that suits you. But you have to complete all the subjects in level 4 and level 5. And the reason I recommended taking itp1 and dm together is that they have this thing where some subjects in a certain level are important to pass and discrete maths and ipt1 are one of them. And no there's no monthly fees for coursera. You just pay UOL and that's it.

The webinars are live not the classes. You have no class if you are fully online, you have everything at your disposal which includes recorded lectures, access to course books. However the teachers do have some webinars every 2 weeks to go over something or resolve the queries regarding midterm submissions, other than that you don't have live classes. You can get live classes in a way where you can study with a certified institute where their teachers will have classes regularly and you'll also have the standard UOL lectures and all the stuff at your disposal.

@@FaizanJavair Thanks for the thorough response.. When are the webinars held usually ? Subscribed btw !

@@Rennyblue Hey, thanks for subscribing! Yeah, regarding the timings it's really random but mostly it's at 12 GMT and yeah around this time they usually conduct their webinars. Sometimes they do it at a different time than this to cover for people who live in a really different time zone. But yeah that's it mostly.

It is quite an old video. Apologies for this issue, this problem doesn’t exist in the new videos.

@@FaizanJavair Thank you! Great to hear your videos are getting better!

I'd highly suggest you contact University of London regarding that! They'll be able to guide you much better than me for sure. However, for my admission, I gave the digital copies of my O/A level grades (aka my highschool grades). And everything is done a portal they provide us. So, yes it's better contact them, they'll provide all the information regarding your situation. I hope this was helpful!

@@FaizanJavair The problem is they don't reply any mails or queries even when asked from their portal. It's been 3weeks I asked about these and now even the applications are open and still they didn't reply

are you from india?

@@manishgsparmar Yes

@@ramsriperambuduru7741 lets connect.

Well it isn’t that flexible because you can only join after you have completed both L4 and L5, basically 2 years. And in the 3rd year you can join the on-campus education (this takes out the study mode from “Online” to physical in the transcript). However you roughly apply during the start of the year for this soo you have to keep in mind of the deadlines they provide for it. There are some people have shifted to on-campus and had a good experience overall but again it can be expensive for international students. I hope this helps!

@@FaizanJavair any student loans available for that

@@devadhanushp.7359 I really don’t know much about the UK rules and regulations for international students if they are able to get student loans or not. Perhaps this is something you can ask Goldsmiths directly through email.

I want that totally online, Because it will be flexible for me. 🤭

Unfortunately I think you'd have to start over for this one.

@@FaizanJavair thanks for guidance ❤️

Minimum is 3 years. The thing is that you'll only be allowed to take 4 subjects per semester that's why the minimum time to complete is 3 years.

@@FaizanJavair thanks for the prompt response, hope your channel keeps growing, please put more videos of your online CS journey, we love them

@@FaizanJavair Is this degree reliable for the job?

Hey, yeah this degree is accredited. However there was one accreditation left that was from the computing department of london since no one had graduated. But this year our first batch got graduated and now it has all the accreditation. I'd suggest going to the world class REPL link and there you can find more information about this.

world-class.github.io/REPL/subreddit/accreditation.html

@@FaizanJavair Thank you so much!!

Hey apologies try using CC with it. I know people have had issues, and yes you can contact me on Instagram. But I'll suggest using the captions to watch this video. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, I have already shifted to a dedicated mic for my newer videos. I'd suggest opening CC for this one, that would solve the voice issue hopefully.

For the CS degree, they are still online but now proctored using Inspera.

As I said in the video, this is something you should go ahead and look by going in the links I have given under the video. Normally we only pay per semester, NOT PER YEAR. I guess it was clearly explained in the video though. Although, just go ahead and check the links which I have given to find out how much you would pay per semester for 4 subjects in your country.

@@FaizanJavair how much to pay per semester? We can get idea

@@blasterxx5691 I pay almost £1200 pounds per semester considering I am taking a institute supported learning so I pay almost the same amount to the certified institute in local currency. Kinda sums up to become £2400 pounds per semester.

@@FaizanJavair around 5000 pound per year

Thank you pease make video how is the teaching like on institute supported learning

Hey, yes, you should go ahead and contact UOL regarding that. There are many people doing this degree from various educational backgrounds. Soo yes, but I'd highly suggest to just go ahead and contact University of London without any hesitation. And good luck brother!

I am not sure what you mean by that. But the degree usual the British one’s are 3 years long. And weightage of grades from the first year of the degree varies. But for this degree I guess it was something between 10% to 20% of the final grade. The weightage of the last year is the highest.

I think no uni will get you the job in specific companies. Unis will teach you the fundamentals, you need to practice and work on experience. However, big companies would be looking for your degrees, unlike working freelance.

@@roselearnstocode Thank you so much
