Hello I am considering to pick up Computer Science degree programme but i'm still keeping an open mind. I would like to ask a few questions regarding:
1)How is the course structure of Computer Science in Nottingham comparing to Multimedia University?
2)What are the exposure given to the students of Computer Science in Nottingham(eg. participation in seminars, conferences, competitions etc)
3) I've been to the Semenyih Campus once, and realized the library resources are pretty limited. How and Where do the students in Nottingham get their information pool from, considering if I am a student that loves to explore?
4)How high is the job opportunity of graduates from Computer Science in Nottingham compared to Computer Science in Multimedia University? I hope to get some insight of the industry about this.
5)What is the usual average number of students in a batch studying Computer Science?
6) Are the lecturers helpful? Are they willing to spend time for discussion with undergraduates after the lecture?
7) What IT-related companies are associated with Nottingham University locally?
7)Considering that the course structure pretty general, what is the common mindset of graduates of Computer Science of Nottingham. Are they more creative? or highly skilled? etc etc... Please advice.
Thanks in Advance.
I don't think we have ever come across anyone on this board with a CS background. However, the CS is reputable, as they are accredited by the British Computer Society. Not sure how many of other courses are accredited by that in Malaysia, but even got, will be very limited. That is the solid proof of the course being good. (But I can't find back the information on this. You may want to ask Nottingham for sure)
Indeed, library is not big but the electronic journals that we have access to is very large. We have subscribed to a lot of online journals. That might make up the loss for the small library perhaps.
The rest of your queries, are very CS and I don't think I can give further information than that.
