I have always had a passion for computers and at school the only courses we did on this were  ICT for GCSE and A-Level, I wanted to do something really challenging, which would give me knowledge on a wide range of topics and give me the qualifications to start my career in the IT industry.

 

A great deal of knowledge, on such a wide range of computing related topics. I learnt about programming which I had never done before university, which has given me the confidence and experience to use in my career.

 

I really enjoyed all three years, but I would say the most interesting two topics were the group project in the second year, and also our Final Year project.

I chose Lancaster as I had read many good things about it, it had a good reputation for teaching and research. I really liked the idea of the campus university being all based on one site as opposed to being spread out, and also the collegiate system.

 

Yes!

Yes definately, I still stay in touch with my friends and we are already planning to meet up around Christmas time. Two of my friends live close by so I'll still get to see them often.

 

I have just been offered a position as an ICT Technician in a college near where I live, which I am due to start in 2 weeks. I feel it will give me a great deal of experience and lead on to bigger and better things! I am looking at doing a part time postgraduate course around my job which will make me even further qualified.

 

The course has re-emphasised my passion for computers and strengthened my knowledge, which has given me the boost in starting my career. I want to stay in computers and the IT industry, and hopefully make a name for myself with my qualifications!
