Hey data nerds 👋, in this video I'm talking about my online bachelors in Computer Science degree. I'm happy to finally put this video out because many of you are curious about it. And, if the recession is indeed coming, what's the better way to prepare for the future than going back to school to study something useful 😉🤓. I'll be going over an overview of the program, the duration and time commitment. Then I'll drill down into the curriculum of each year and give you an overview of the main topics I learned in the modules. I realized it was very hard to cover everything, but hope this video gives you an insider look into the program and see if it fits your needs.
Thank you for watching and have a great day! 🤗

Really interesting to hear all this! I have looked into studying and working full time, but have not committed to it yet. It's not so much the cost, but the time, and deciding the real reasons why I think I want a Masters degree. There's also a matter of which institution has a better reputation within the industry - In my industry (not "iT" related), for the same qualification it seems like some institutions cater to people in management who need to tick a box to get promoted, and others are aimed at people with, or looking at a technical career.

@Thuvu5 2 жыл бұрын

Indeed, I also see the time as the real cost behind all this commitment. Sometimes in the weekends staying up late to meet the courses' deadlines, I bitterly realized it was a huge investment giving up relaxation time and bits of social life 😅. And agreed with you about the "ticking the box" syndrome at several workplaces. Companies might end up hiring someone who's got the "right" degree but not capable of doing the actual work.. That's very sad.

Thank you so much for the video. I wish i was was focussed as you are when i was your age. I'm 40 years old and dont hold a degree as i had to start working immidiatly out of school. I worked for the banking industry for over 15 years and to be honest lied to my self saying i didnt need a degree anymore . However a year back i took a break from work to focuss on my son who is now 4 and give him the father that i never had. Im not a person who can just sit idle so i started a small business and also started fidling around courses in coursera . I never though i would love computer science and programming but i realise my curious little mind is tickled with everybit i lear about it. So now i am cosidering getting i to tech and also considering the qualifications i should obtain. I know im older but i keep my self fit and my mind active . Sorry for the long post but it showcases how much you ispire people for them to pour out their hearts after watching a video. I would apprecite any advice you or anyone in the comments could provide . Thank you all

What kind of jobs are you looking at that require a degree in CS? Finance, data analytics, data science? Btw, her conclusion was spot on and is super relevant to you. Since you already have a bachelors, MBA, have done self-learning and got your own certificates, I don't know if it's really worth going back to school just to get a Computer Science degree on paper. I think as an employer, I would be more impressed if you learned what you needed to learn on your own online and applied what you learned by building your own software project. Of course there's a very high risk that you get lost while learning on your own. Companies requiring a degree in CS are probably not worth working for, unless you are really interested in a niche area that requires a masters in CS.

I wish to work in tech but I'm afraid i would be under listed by potential employers by not Havin a degree in Computer Science. Is having a BSc in Computer Science from UOL/GOLDSMITH a good choice for me?. Like starting right now. That means I'd be studying for Med Science, Computer SCIENCE and IBM course module.

It really is a bold move, I wouldn't particularly do this, I am well with learning on my own pace and there is an overload of information on-line. I've studied engineering for my bachelors and sadly not much from the class was really absorbed and I learned better studying on my own, reinforcing my knowledge with online courses. I found that if I had the program of the course I could learn better on my own with a community that was willing to help me, when I got into my bachelors it was a terrible experience where I mostly learned how to demand what you paid for from the universities administration, as the overall desorganization left me in shambles, besides there was a rule that no teacher could give contact information and I spend weeks if not months tracking down teacher that would not commit to showing up to class, so much to even tracking down where some of them lived, what car they drove and some close relatives... I felt more specialized in investigation then engineering.

It's not an online degree by itself, that's the thing. It's a degree like any other, you can do it online if you want to. And of course you can do a masters or PhD after that, but the best thing is that the degree itself is not recognized as an 'online degree' just a regular bachelor's degree from the university of London so employers won't know if you went to study physically there or not and even if they knew you wont have the stigma that comes with having an online degrees (employers tend to think online degrees are worthless compared to a "real" degree) It's very flexible you can finish it in 3 years while working full time job. It is less than 460 pounds per month there are more expensive degrees here in Uruguay so Imagine... I would like to find a less expansive degree from a decent university but yeah, it's kinda hard honestly.

While all your points are valid, I believe this video is misleading in terms of communication with the students - she mentions how some of the modules are redundant. May I ask how she knows that the student support were overwhelmed with student questions and requests… (sounds to me like you were told to say that). There’s still a lot a unanswered request by students. For a reputable uni, you mention how the uni is learning on the way and how some course module had issues or were not even COMPLETE YET? Why is it on the coursera platform and been sold for that price (£17,000) This just shows there’s a lack of accountability from the university and it should not be open to the public for that price. Lastly, did you graduate and get a transcript from the university? If you did kindly do a video showing this. -Thanks

Hey, thanks for this video. Doing my second year 2nd half. Not so sure which specialism to take haha. I want to do ml and ai but the masters route haha it’s kinda long. Contemplating, lol I kind of see myself taking ml and ai though.

Oh that's great to hear, Gerry! Are you taking a Masters? Yeah I was kinda choosing a familiar option for specialization (ML & AI) but nearing the end I'm thinking other specializations could be fun as well. So.. tough call! 😅

@@Thuvu5 I see myself going for masters after Bsc. Started from zero programming experience and nothing relates to my current job haha. I had two specialisms in mind, web and mobile dev plus ml/ai. I thought the web thing can be achievable through self study, so, ml/ai for me is the thing.

Hello, thanks for the video and all the knowledge shared. I have a question regarding teamwork and getting to know your teammates. Did you do group work? Were there video call meetings to do the projects? Or was everything presented individually? I have a good experience as a Bootcamp graduate doing team coding projects and I would like to study for a bachelor's degree in Computer Science in the near future. I would like to know if that component of teamwork, asking your peers and working with them on projects was part of your experience in the University of London degree program? Thank you!

@Thuvu5 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Valeria, yes you do have teamwork in some modules. Some of the project assignments are group assignments. We mostly use Slack for communication and chatting with team members. If they live nearby you can meet up in person too of course

I was looking for Dual Degree options in computer science and came across this. I would like to take my career forward by also completing a masters in computer science after this degree. Will I be eligible to apply for an Offline Computer Science Masters after completing this degree? I would qualify for the requirements as this course provides all the necessary knowledge(D&A, Discrete mathematics.....). Its Online tho and thats why I have concerns.

@waynelast1685 Жыл бұрын

BS is a better foundation than MS if you have no formal training in Computer Science. The very nature of MS programs is only to review foundational topics even when they say they will provide an introduction. It's impossible to cover foundational and advanced topics in one two-year MS program.

@GoodByeSkyHarborLive 8 ай бұрын

The overall courses are the same in the masters and bachelor's? And in the masters do they start the foundational topics from an entry level point or just assume you know everything and just go through problems?

Hi Thu, thanks for the imformative video Chị ơi e mới biết đến Coursera và các chương trình liên kết học bằng cử nhân online trên này mà thấy mê quá ạ. E định sau này sẽ học song song 1 bằng tại trường việt nam và 1 bằng online qua Coursera mà không biết có ổn không. E thấy chị có nhắc đến thi final term khi hết covid là phải thi tại điểm thi vật lý, vậy nếu như e ở Việt Nam thì có điểm thi nào không ạ. Và sau quá trình học bằng Computer Science này thì chị thấy có gì quá bất cập và khó khăn hơn so với việc học on campus không ạ. E thấy chị có bảo là những khoá đầu tiên thì có nhiều vấn đề khi liên quan đến hỗ trợ học sinh, và bài giảng e có xem các review khác thì đúng là mọi người kêu cái này rất nhiều kể cả khoá gần đây nhất vẫn bị nhưng ít hơn thôi. Những vấn đề như vậy liệu có ảnh hưởng đến điểm số và khó khăn để hoàn thành khoá học một cách trơn tru và xuất sắc nhất không ạ. Và bằng online này thì có đánh giá bằng theo kiểu xuất sắc giỏi khá hay như ở Anh là first class upper class các thứ không ạ?

@Thuvu5 Жыл бұрын

Hi em, chị k nghĩ có khác biệt gì về chương trình học online hay offline, chỉ có quá trình học thì học online không được tiếp xúc với giáo viên và bạn học trực tiếp mà phải qua Slack. Điểm số thì chị k nghĩ nó sẽ ảnh hưởng gì nếu biết tự học và sắp xếp tg.
