What Students Say?
Likes
- "I went forward with University of Greenwich because - 1. Its in London, in comparison to other university there were more chances of employment also during my time as student and after education as it university does not provide placement they help to get prepared. 2. The modules and fees, modules are related to and around Cybersecurity and it also included computer forensics which facinated me during that time. Fees was 14500 GBP which was average and not much and I was able to pay them in 2 instalments. 3. Campus - The Old Royal Naval Campus is very huge and old, which encourages' student in its own to come and study. "
- The approach for the education is very practical and has an hands on experience in the field of study rather than bookish knowledge.
Dislikes
- University has a lot of Asian student specially from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh which takes away the chance of studying with the students of other European or American countries and share the ideology.
The overall experience is quite good considering the quality of education as it is much more practical also it feels up to date with industry standards. Also some of the modules requires coursework which is more researched based which widens the knowledge and gives a student an opportunity to use the knowledge they received. In terms of placements, all the Universities lack these as they cannot provide the placement.
Course Curriculum
The course module were very practical. It also contained coursework which is much more research oriented.
Exams
IELTS - 6.5 Min score - No less than 6.5 in any of the subject. SOP - Majorly wrote about why choosing the course, University and Country. How this course will help me in achieving my future goals. LORs - Majorly written by my UnderGrad professors, highlighting about me as a student. CV - Majorly my achievements, any extra course I did, work experiences and Cover Letter - Why I made a transition from Telecommunication's engineer to Software Developer and why choosing cybersecurity as my masters. I had one round of interview, in which the University majorly asked me about my goals, my future plans in UK and my research about the University. also some of the questions were related to my Cover Letter, SOP and my background as Software developer.
Placement
I believe Universities in UK does not provide placements. Students have an option to add placement year in which they can look out for jobs or internships if provided by University.
Fees
GBP 14500
Scholarship
No. I applied for a scholarship but it was declined as the scholarship application was late.
Faculty
I was studying during post COVID period so majority of lectures were online and it was around 100 - 120 students online. During practicals it was divided into batches of around 40 - 60 students.
Campus Life
Library is excellent has more than 100,000 books and is very modern. University student can access it whole day also has rooms, pods and computers. WiFi is excellent across university and library. UoG is affiliated to Charlton Athletic FC which makes it easier for student who are interested in Football to get in touch with them.
Hostel
I had a private accommodation. But in University is generally around £150 / week.
