I chose UA92 because I was intrigued by the lack of exams and the fixed timetables and I'm so glad I did. The support I've received from staff has been amazing and it's really easy to get to know your lecturers and classmates due to the small class sizes. There are loads of opportunities available to students for example I'm a student representive for my class and an ambassador for the university and I've learnt so much about communication and leadership through these roles. There are also many external events to places such as go karting, Alton Towers and trampoline parks which are a great way to meet other students and are always at a discounted price. As UA92 is still a new university there are some parts that could be improved but they are very open to receiving feedback.

The course content was made with industry leaders such as Microsoft and is validated by the University of Lancaster. All teaching is done in person but if you can't make it to class then you can join class over Teams meeting or watch a recording of the lecture you missed. We are expected to be in class 4 hours a day Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, there are no lectures in massive lecture halls, everything is classroom based with 25-30 students. There are Macs available for students in the classrooms, although I would recommend bringing your own Windows laptop. There is no placement year however, all third years are assigned an industry mentor and depending on whether or not you are accelerated you may have a lot of time off over summer for example, where you could get an internship with an external company.

Reflecting on my journey over the last three years, it's impressive to see the progression from completing a Certificate of Higher Education in software development to achieving a Bachelor of Science with Honours in computer science. My time at UA92 has been a testament to my hard work and commitment to learning and growing within the realm of software development and computer science. Transitioning to a BSc Honours in computer science further expanded my knowledge and skill set. This advanced program challenged me with more complex concepts, such as algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, and possibly even specialized areas like cybersecurity or machine learning. As I move forward from this significant milestone, I will carry forward the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the experiences gained during my time at UA92. My education is a stepping stone to a bright future filled with opportunities to innovate, create, and make a positive impact in the world of technology.

Throughout my academic journey, I have not only gained technical expertise but also developed problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and a deep understanding of how technology shapes our world. My achievements at UA92 reflect my determination, resilience, and passion for pursuing excellence in the field of computer science.
