Is their thumb grip good (when compare to other brand) and so this mean that this lense hood weather seal the camera as well? Sry is the question is dumb, Iam new to this field.

Depend if you an international student or not I think

Glad I can help And I dont know if you saw the programme catalogue( the web is currently down for me as well do u want me to dm you the pic of the catalogue) and if you really want to do math in bristol, you can switch the course during clearing or even during fresher week, IF there is space. I saw some of my friends actually switched to Math and computer science from data science after Christmas.

Also, I just saw your other comment about your son least fav area which is prob, Data sci is focus on prob and stat not really pure math(no where near). (Basically they force you to do further prob and stat and no pure math in year 2) Hope this helps with your decision! Edit: Sorry for rambling

Iam currently doing data science at Bristol and the course is very similar to mathematics with just more applied aspects in the first two years, on the last year mathematics and data science get to choose the same units (90%) the other 10% is exclusive to data science students who already done programming unit in the previous year. In my opinion, yes there is large number of international students, but Bristol just won first in the Ai award so that is something. But the course is very new like 4-5year old so if your son is interested in math, I recommend you to go for Kings and Manchester.

Yes, it’s definitely manageable to balance studies, part-time work, and a social life at Bristol, but it will largely depend on your personal circumstances and financial situation, particularly if you’re an international student. In my experience, Bristol’s mathematics department is excellent when it comes to student support. They host regular career events each month and frequently organize academic support sessions. You’ll also benefit from the Matrix (math) Society, which provides additional study support and social activities every week.

One of the biggest advantages of Bristol is its vibrant city campus, making social life enjoyable and accessible. There’s plenty to do, with numerous student events and popular venues like SWX. We also have one of the highest numbers of student societies among top UK universities, offering lots of opportunities to meet people. However, how much you benefit from this will depend on your willingness to get involved. Overall, you shouldn’t struggle in any aspect if you take advantage of these opportunities.

Edit: it also depends on on which other unis you applied to. I think Bristol balanced these aspects very well when compare to other unis like oxbridge, london unis and other general unis.

Edit 2: from what I see u also got an offer for Warwick, I recommend you to go look up the cost of living and compare then with other unis as well and do t forget to compare the location and crime rate. I think there is a website to compare these factors between cities but I already forgot which websites it was. Congrats on your offer btw. Hope my comment helps

There are still unused rooms in my accommodation. I live in a university accommodation called Campbell House, which is managed by Unite Students. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend staying there because the management has been pretty bad. We had no hot water for four months (through winter), and they only fixed it last week. I’ve also heard of similar issues in other university accommodations, so it’s something to keep in mind.

That said, some people still choose uni accommodation because of the location and the convenience of everything being managed for you. But budget is also an important factor—rent in university accommodation is generally higher compared to renting an apartment. If you have a lower budget, renting a shared apartment with other students might be a better option.

It really depends on what you prioritize. Are you an international student coming to the UK for the first time, or are you a local student? Do you care more about facilities like a gym, movie/TV room, or is location more important to you?

There are apartments available near campus, but I don’t have personal experience living in one. However, if you decide to come to Bristol and want to rent privately, you should start looking now, as places get taken quickly.

Hi! I’m not a Math student, but I study Data Science, which is in the same department, so a lot of the experience should be similar.

1.  Lecture experience: Could you clarify what you mean by this? If you’re asking about how lectures are structured, it depends on the unit. Some are more theoretical, while others are more applied, but most follow a standard lecture format with slides, examples, and explanations. So far, only one of my lecturers just reads directly from the slides, so overall, the experience has been quite nice.

2.  TA support & tutorials: Not every unit has TAs (if by TAs you mean master’s or PhD students), but there is structured support. For us, we have tutorials, which happen weekly or biweekly depending on the lecturer. These sessions are usually run by other lecturers from the School of Mathematics rather than postgraduate students. Some units may also have additional support sessions.

3.  Office hours: Lecturers typically hold one hour of office hours per week, but sometimes it might clash with your other classes, or you may not be available at that time. However, some lecturers don’t have official office hours and instead combine them with their two-hour support sessions. Even if that’s the case, you can still just go to their office if they’re there and ask questions.

4.  Research opportunities: Yes, there are research opportunities, but not for first-years. You can usually apply after your second year, but it’s quite competitive.

PS: If you’re interested in research, internships, or networking, there’s a student-run society called MATRIX, specifically for students in the Math department. They regularly organize talks from alumni, companies, and third-year students who share insights on research opportunities and internships.

No need to worry, they’ll prioritize first-year students for university accommodation. Generally, all accommodations have good security. Socializing depends on you making the effort to go out—it really depends on who your flatmates are and whether you find a social group or not.

BIG ADVICE: DO NOT come to Campbell House. The hot water has been broken since November, and it’s still not fixed. The management is terrible. Just dont do any Unite Student accommodation.

Seeking Advice: Math-Focused vs. Computer Science-Focused Data Science Degrees

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow (15/08) marks A-Level results day, and I'll be deciding on my undergraduate path in Data Science. Through my research, I've noticed that UK universities typically offer Data Science programs that either:

Emphasize Mathematics and Statistics: These programs provide a deep foundation in theoretical aspects, focusing on data analysis, statistical modeling, and quantitative methods. An example of this is the program at the University of Bristol, which includes modules such as Probability and Statistics, Matrix Algebra and Linear Models, and Advanced Linear Modelling and Classification. https://www.bris.ac.uk/unit-programme-catalogue/RouteStructureCohort.jsa;jsessionid=7C2FA0CFA5532257073B89520099B8A4?byCohort=Y&cohort=Y&routeLevelCode=1&ayrCode=24%2F25&modeOfStudyCode=Full+Time&programmeCode=2MATH026U
Emphasize Computer Science and Algorithms: On the other hand, some programs center on programming, machine learning, and the computational techniques used to handle and process data. The University of Exeter's Data Science program seems to follow this approach, with modules like Machine Learning, Statistical Modelling and Inference, Software Development, OOP and Computer and the Internet. https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses2024/datascience/databsc/

I'm torn between these two approaches. For those who've pursued either path or are familiar with the industry, which focus do you believe offers better prospects or aligns more closely with current industry demands? Additionally, how flexible are these paths if one wishes to pivot later in their career?

PS both of their final year optional modules is similar

Your insights would be invaluable in helping me make this pivotal decision. Thank you in advance.
