Whether it be making new friends or learning new skills there are endless benefits to joining a society.Societies are created and run by students committees who society members elect on an annual basis. Your membership fees go directly into the Society's account to help develop the Society in whatever way the members think is best: equipment, events, guest speakers, trips - you decide! Throughout the year, there are numerous opportunities for societies to gain extra funding so keep a look out!!
Due to Covid 19 I was unable to experience physical study at the university. However the online study was effective.
It’s a good university and a good course. I personally feel like the content of this course could be changed to fit people with different previous knowledge in programming. Also if you go into this with no programming knowledge at all you’re likely to come out as a jack of all trades. Some knowledge in a range of languages but a master in none. So a lot of personal study...
The program was taught on line due to the Covid 19 pandemic and this affected the quality of it, also it was in collaboration with a Jordanian university and this made coordination some times more difficult
