BSc (Hons) Computing Part-time at UWE

What the Students Say


I am working at a computer software company. My employer gave me one day leave to attend this part-time course. They are also paying my fees! I enjoyed the course very much. I didn't find it difficult. This is perhaps because I have done lots of programming at work, and I had quite a good maths background.

I wouldn't say the course is easy. Although we only come in one day a week, the day is fully packed with lectures, tutorials and LAB sessions. I normally have to spend every weekend to digest what we learnt during the week. When there are assignments due, I often work till late night every day. By the way, my wife has been helping me to cut grass in the last two years. This just shows how busy I am. It is a hard life! But I am pleased with my progress. My grade is looking good so far, thanks to the hard work.

I did HND computer studies at another college. After receiving my diploma, I decided to carry on my further education and eventually obtain a BSc honours degree in computing. I found that this course offers what exactly I wanted. Because of my background, I was given the opportunity of direct entry. I am now taking some level 2 and level 3 modules. I felt that there are lots of things to catch up on. For example, I didn't know the C language very well, but some modules heavily use C. My advice is that you need to be very careful which level you should enter.

I have been on this course for about 5 years, and am going to finish it in the next few months. The course is great although it has been a long journey. Most of all, I have made some really good friends here.
