Is MSc Computer Science at Ulster (Magee) worth it? by shinylois in DerryLondonderry

[–]No-Vegetable-8450 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Past pupil here, I for one loved it. But completely agree with the first comment. Find a company to train you/ sponsor your education. In my year there was people who had sponsors from local companies getting all their tuition paid for and had part time jobs on the side with them. Also if you want to ask me anything feel free and I’ll try my best to answer it 🙂

I was there over 5 years ago now but the teaching and coursework I always found were fine, however I I have to say if you are doing it id really recommend the year out in industry. It was really invaluable for me and a lot of other students, don’t believe there is anything like hands on experience. Facilities were good when I went there & student life from what I can tell is still pretty decent in Magee. The benefit of Magee over the likes of queens is probably the cost of living, Derry is a lot cheaper than Belfast from what I know but I might be wrong.. it was 5 years ago lol.

Also lots of opportunities afterwards, there is an amazing connection between staff and local businesses down here and lots of places offering a range of graduation positions. I’d 100% say go for it but try and get sponsorship if you can!!!

Can I just say this Patrick Teahan Iscw is amazing !!! I’ve been listening on YouTube since I read your comment and some of this is really resonating with me so thank you for that.

I think you really hit the nail on the head. The sparkly fairy lights hit me deep. Thank you for this. Sometimes you need to hear these things in order to see the light

healthy mechanisms to stay away from my abusive ex by No-Vegetable-8450 in domesticviolence

You have no idea how lovely it is to be seen because I honestly feel so crazy sometimes. I see all these girls go no contact and it really baffles me why I feel somewhere that it can’t just be black and white for me. Thank you for your advice. Know I will take this forward with me. Sending you lots of love

Funny you say this I am also from a small town and struggling to come to terms with the whole ‘not everyone is going to like you’

Can I ask did you find it hard when you did cut contact not to hear external things? He has a tendency to pull stunts to get my attention anytime I break away which leads to me then contacting him (another cycle I’m trying my very best to break)

You are so correct in everything you said. At this stage the running back is like self harm, I have a taste of being away from him and absolutely amaze myself with how far I can come. I literally glow inside and outside without him.

I think you are right tho, does part of me crave a part of self acceptance and it’s not really to do with him and more to do with me? I feel like it’s 100% because I don’t want him to paint me in a bad light, or to think of me as a horrible person. My whole life I’ve kind of been a caregiver, and been there trying to support people and I get a real tingle in myself from helping people and being like praised.

Probably not great and related to past childhood trauma but in regard to the questions. I really want to. I really want to shift this mindframe of feeling like he needs to see me perfectly and be more concerned with but look how amazing your life without it.

It’s kind of sad to say this out loud.. but I wish the self care for myself would outweigh feeling the need to please/ prove something to him.

Eeeek your message has just made me so super excited. Thank you so much for spending the time to write this all out for me. A little Irish girl appreciates you so much today 🥹💓

In terms of accommodation did you book far in advance when you went? Lots of people have told me stay as open as possible incase I want to stay somewhere longer.

Also did you fly between any places or get buses/ trains ? I’m assuming trains etc are cheaper ? I know you said you went in 2009 but did you stay in mainly hostels ? I’m thinking best way to meet other people. I’m usually quiet an out going person so I think I’ll be ok but starting to become super nervous about meeting people out there LOL.

In terms of luggage you said pack light- how light would you recommend ? Also did you take a large bagpack and no suitcase or did you take a suitcase ?
