I was really excited by the fact that this degree is applied; less lectures more coding. We get to do projects that are industry related so we talk to clients and we meet with them. We get to learn more things by actually practising on them, which seems to be a better way of learning than being in a lecture and then having to do all the work by yourself. We also get a lot of help from the lecturers and other students. It is a different environment than you usually get at university. What differentiates this degree from others is when I graduate I will be more ready to work.
