My Computer Science Degree in 11 Minutes

In today's video, I talk about my experience with Computer Science at Imperial College London, from the university application process to the modules I take and university life. Also I filmed this while on holiday in Sardinia, Italy so there's a cool cinematic at the end :)

    This video is amazing and I briefly know what does Computer Science at Imperial look like. Thanks for sharing! I am also a Computer Science student studying International A Level and I will apply to universities soon. So, this video allows me to have a preview of the courses.

    You had your placement (internship) in the Leadenhall Building! I worked there for a bit at Landing 42 in 2019 (as a waiter not a software engineer lol). Currently coming to the end of my first year in CS at Portsmouth Uni. Your course structure is so different to ours, it's interesting to see. We have 3 years in total but you can take an optional paid placement year after your 2nd year which is what Im planning to hopefully do (so 4 years if you do placement). In our first year we do 5 compulsory modules throughout the year, in the 2nd year we do 1 optional module that we chose along with 5 other compulsory ones and those are split up between the first and second terms. In 3rd year we pick 2 optional modules and have I think 3 compulsory.

    JMC's can choose between maths and computing modules, but have limited choices. I think JMC has a higher work load than computing students

    Hey, I should (hopefully) be at imperial for computing at the end of this year. Im thinking of getting an old surface pro for notes while I’m at uni, and then a decently powerful pc for working at home. Using software called Parsec I would tunnel into my pc if I needed any heavy lifting done. Is that a good idea? Or can I get by using just a laptop?

    I know this man, he was my neighbor, he was my friend in elementary school. He was a very talented man. We lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the avatar, master of four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him the most, he vanished.
