Computer Science (with integrated year studying abroad)

Aberystwyth is a great University for Computer Science. I was a career changer with no experience coding before coming here and the course taught me everything I needed to gain a placement with a AAA game studio. I wanted to write this review because I remember looking for Universitys when applying and wondering if Aber is good. I saw a review saying that the course didn't prepare them for the Industry at all. I strongly disagree. As someone who didn't come from an ICT background and didn't code at all before, I can tell you you will learn everything you need. Just go to your practicles! Truth is because it's Computer Science attendence is low, and students who don't do the un-assesed practices and coursework will have a hard time. If you want to go to a Uni though where lecturers care about you, take the time to talk to you and are invested in your success it's a great choice. Aberystwyth also has good ties to the industry and goes out of its' way to get students career ready. If you want to know where students end up just look up the Uni on linkedIn. Aberystwyth has gotten rewards for its' teaching repeatedly, and rightfully so. Yes, it's not a Russel Group University and prestige is not on the same level, but if you're engaged and want to learn the skills and have great lecturers and an active student life (because there is really nothing else to distract you from your studies in Aberystwyth) it's a great choice.

It's a bit remote, but great views, great facilities. Staff has always been helpful. Student union can feel slow and unresponsive though

The student life is definitely the best aspect. The worst aspect would have to be the lack of practical experience on my course.

My time at this university has been worthwhile to say the least. Over the past 3 years, this university has not only provided me with the opportunity to grow my knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence, it has allowed me to grow into a more well-rounded individual.

Good, I like being away from my family. The on site shops are kinda expensive but overall good. I like the people working here, they are very nice and friendly.

Great. No real problems. I hate the hill on the other hand. People here are nice. Why do you need so many characters here? It is irritating. Less than 20 left. Done
