I chose the course as I felt it offered beyond and above a normal Computer Science course, with the focus of looking at new and exciting technologies.  I felt I gained a deeper knowledge of how the academic world writes papers and conducts research.    

One of the key reasons was the Computer Science Innovation course and on the Open Day I found the staff to all be very enthusiastic. I liked hearing from different researchers and looking at varying technologies on the Innovation course.

I felt the labs were great for working and discussing problems etc. with other students.

I met lots of friends both on the course and through societies.  I felt the Innovation Program was particularly  good for this, due to the small size of the group I was in.

I worked at BT in Ipswich for three months thanks to an advert I saw in the Computer Science department.

This involved conducting research in a small team.

I am currently completing a Masters and in late September will be back at Lancaster working on a PhD relating to intrusion detection with the same supervisor I had for my third year project!  I am throughly looking forward to this work.
