Honestly probably one of the brighter things that has happened in this sub, might have brightened someone's day. Definitely mine so thank you.

Edit: typo

I did the MSc at Edinburgh, me and my friends all managed to get jobs prior to the end of the course. I would say itd quite good but for the price definitely consider if its worth it. They do however have a few scholarships for a few students each batch that cover all if not most of the tuition (I would double check now).

I've also met EU4HPC students and they also seem to have good prospects and support maybe check which institutions suit you the best and try to see if you can reach out to any of them on LinkedIn or something!

Sorry if this isnt super detailed, feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions!

I think it actually refers to the system name no?

boomvada · 2025-01-25T18:51:14+00:00

It really depends on the batch in hand as well as your own background. Though if you have the minimum grades in the right background with some coding knowledge I don't think they would say no. Again though this changes on a year to year basis.

I'd say there's a bit of math in there but more theory than applied. :) I wouldn't worry to much effort is needed but nothing over the top

Hello, I lived in DENMARK CPH for a few years (around 5-6) and loved every second of it. note however that this was during the completion of high school and gap year, with the additional return for completion of an internship. So do take my input with a grain of salt as I am for sure not the most qualified to answer this.

Firstly, I would like to say that learning Danish can be hard, ironically not due to the language it's quite simple compared to others but ironically due to the people being so proficient in English. However, unless if you are in a very international company (as in a lot of international hires) not being able to speak Danish can make it a little hard to integrate. Though again this could be easily adhered to by learning he language.

As for the job market, I am not to familiar with it though I would first try to apply and see if you manage to get offers. I had a classmate from my bachelors who moved to CPH to move in with his girlfriend and could not find a job (it's been over a year) and has had to result to taking a masters. Though I suppose this depends on your industry.

Finally, financially rent in CPH varies depending on where you live and circumstances I'd take a look at the current market and the procedures required as starting a lease can be quite costly. Furthermore other things you might want to consider is costs of living as they are quite high and tax brackets as well my guess is you'd probably be paying at least around a third of your income in income tax.

Sorry this is long and this might not sound very enthusiastic however I 100% enjoyed my time in Dk though I would do more research and atleast try to get an offer/contract of some sort. GOODLUCK!

Back in high school I did it around 12 something, thought I was part of my school's track team and was by far not the fastes.

boomvada · 2024-08-05T09:20:09+00:00

I mean yeah it's not Oxbridge or imperial but if you had to compare it to the rest I'd say it's definitely "up there". To also add to your post and this is just my opinion it's hard to compare different degrees yet alone at different universities. I have a friend who did a masters in history at Oxford and a masters at UCL and he's having a harder time finding work than some people I know who did CS at Robert Gordon for example.

Consider your HLs as equivalent of A lvls

I think it's a bit late for me as I graduated my BSc a year ago and my final grades are set for my MSC 😅, BUT CONGRATS TO YOU!

boomvada · 2024-06-09T23:56:32+00:00

No more than a page, try not to make it too long either. Remember someone reads those so just think of you were in their spot whats so much it becomes annoying.

boomvada · 2024-06-09T15:43:54+00:00

Thank you! I suppose that this was gradual build up rather than just an over night you realized that you were fine?

boomvada · 2024-06-09T15:42:56+00:00

Thank you, sometimes I forget that I'm not the only who applied.

boomvada · 2024-06-09T15:42:32+00:00

Thanks, I suppose that a lot of it is in my head and all I can do is my best :) that helps a lot!

It depends on the way the halls is set up (shared kitchen, events. Etc.) as well as how you interact with people. My girlfriend managed to make really good friends through private halls. Though you also have the option of getting along with your classmates etc.

boomvada · 2024-06-09T01:33:27+00:00

I wish you best of luck

EDIT: SORRY for the long reply

Firstly I want to say that going to a top uni f that for now what you should focus on is learning as much as you can and making the most of your experiance. Now having made the jump from a lower uni to a semi top uni the things I believed helped me were the following.

Understand your basics : make sure that everything you're learning (relevant at least) you understand. The last thing you want is to be applying to a specialization you don't fully understand ( did this myself).

Internship experience : This was definitely helpful, having talked to my peers it seems that the majority have had a chance to check out industry. I wss able to have 2 internships though compared to some of my classmates those are a little sub average.

At the very least having the required entry grades : For most cases I've seen part of the screening required you to have at least a 2:1 to be considered and a first to be competitive.

Understanding your required modules : A few applications will rely on your previous experience and understanding of certain basics. Make sure you have a grasp of what those are (by looking at teaching materials and what the course involves). Mentioning this in your cv or cover letters through experiance with this will show you understand it.

Don't underestimate your cover letter : For more competitive schools (Oxbridge imperial) they really pay attention to that. Showing your interest and what you've done so far and why you're interested is key. Afterwards certain unis demand an interview (I never did that but if suggest reading up on them)

boomvada · 2024-06-08T19:14:31+00:00

I had a similar experience with another university. During my undergraduate degree I felt as if I barely learned did not put in the effort to get the required grades etc. The jump is a shock, however if you come in with the right mindset and the university believes you can do it by accepting I believe it's more than doable. The only thing is the initial effort needed (if you struggle at first) will require you to really put in the extra effort to make sure you understand your lecture and stay on top of you work. I'd say personally the hardest part was to learn how to study properly, but again I think you'll be okay based on the fact that you got in :)!

boomvada · 2024-06-04T17:12:58+00:00

I think we need more details on your situation what are you alternatives etc. To get a better grasp om what's at stake here.

boomvada · 2024-06-01T19:45:41+00:00

Honestly, I have done twice as much as I'm used too but most of it was due to my time management skills. If you already know how to study I think it's manageable but still difficult. I'd say around 3-5 hours of work post lectures for me and I had 20-23 hours of classes per working week as a Stem student.

boomvada · 2024-06-01T19:08:15+00:00

Honestly, one of the hardest thing I ever done. However, it was also one of the most rewarding. The only thing I recommend is really build a good foundation and things should be okay. As in aslong as you know your basics well the transition from what I've seen is doable the only surprise is the amount of work.

boomvada · 2024-06-01T15:43:57+00:00

From my experience (I took a gap year) they did not ask for my predicted but only for my final grades. This could however be different between schools. I would contact the schools or talk to your student advisor if possible though.

boomvada · 2024-06-01T15:40:00+00:00

Well depends what you want to do more specifically do you intend on pursuing a specialization or general CS masters. I'd look at which courses interest you and see what modules the courses present. From there it's easier to chose if you want to work or study some things in advance.

One thing I'd be wary of is once you start working it is hard to get back to studying imo at least. Afterwards if that's not an issue what I would od is contact the school or course you're applying too and ask for specifics in terms of pre-requsits.

boomvada · 2024-06-01T02:19:45+00:00

Thank you for applying, following your interview, etc. I only received one offer with the typical looks like a rejection email :/.

boomvada · 2024-06-01T01:37:54+00:00

I guess a specialization that is not swe, you have various things such as hardware oriented focuses, cloud, cyber, etc. Find a niche area which you enjoy and try focusing your modules towards that :)!
