Computer Science

Finishing university with a first class honours degree was the highlight of my time at York St John. The lecturers were so enthusiastic, helpful and approachable. Each of the lecturers brought a level of passion that was so infectious it drove me to do the best I could. I wanted to work with Virtual Reality and luckily my project supervisor was an expert on it. With his help we chose a relevant topic and I was able to passionately work towards getting a first class grade on my project.

I always knew that I wanted to do Computer Science since I was a kid. I loved computers, technology and everything like that, so I ended up doing computer science at college and I knew the next logical step for me was to study it at University. Moving from college to university was quite a smooth transition and I think it was due to the course sizes. There aren’t hundreds of people in the classes, both at college and at YSJ which makes it quite nice to be able throw yourself into university life here.

I have particularly enjoyed creating Artificial Intelligence to compete against the rest of the class as well as designing, prototyping and presenting a working Internet of Things product. In Year 3 we got the opportunity to present what we had researched for our dissertations at the York Developers Conference in front of a large crowd. Standing up and demonstrating my knowledge of Big Data, hopefully enlightening a couple of those present about the troubles of internet privacy, it was a very rewarding day.
