May i know Which University is good for Computer Science?

I have decided to select Computer Science to the University. Which University is really good in that Feild?

May i know Which University is good for Computer Science?
Stanford
Reply:Sheffield Hallam, or Open Uni,
Reply:According to the times good university guide the top five for computer science are:


1. Cambridge


2. Oxford


3. Imperial College


4. York


5. Bristol


Guardians opinion on comuter science is:


1. Edinburgh


2. Oxford


3. York


4. Bangor


5. Southampton





Check out the guardian uni guide as you can judge unis according to different criteria, employablility, teaching, staff: student ration etc.

Reply:Caltech,MIT, maybe Rice University, those 3 are the prestigious universities, dont know too much about any others, sorry.
Reply:Leicester in UK, but they are getting rid of staff because of lack of students wanting the course, 4 yrs ago it was 1 in 20 who got accepted.
Reply:Universities of London include: Kings College London and Queen Mary
Reply:Assuming the UK, then, after the ones that go without saying: Imperial, UCL, Warwick, Durham, York.





You might want to consider which aspects of computing most interest you. If it's applications then you might want to look at Business IT courses. If you are interested in Artificial Intelligence then it might be a different set of courses. Looking at the on-line prospectus, along with the research interests of the staff can help.





You should also look for information on the student experience at each uni. In some cases the teaching can be by postgraduate students, as the academic staff are dedicated to their research.





Good luck.

Reply:These days, each school has its own idea and definitions of what Comp Sci is. Don't let it bamboozle or overwhelm you. Some universities list it under Industrial Technology or Information Technology so be sure to explore those areas. Others may also list it under Schools of Science and Technology as well as Business Technology. It can include anything from commercial applications (CISCO, RedHat) where the companies will actually assist in developing the curriculum to programs that actually train students in using programming languages, algorithms, etc (COBOL, FORTRAN, Perl, etc). Many things may seem like "old" technology such as first, second, third generational language programming and you may feel like you won't get the "latest and greatest" information. Be sure to look over your prospects and find a program that combines a good balance of the old with the new. There are many places that need "legacy" help and knowing or at least being quite familiar with the old will help you in the long run, especially with companies that have not got the "latest" for economic or budgeting reasons. (money makes the world go round after all).





Also, in this day and age of increasing technology use, all this stuff is adapted on a daily basis to many different career paths. It's not just used for NASA anymore! Sony (as well as other companies) is into "robotic technology" so be sure to not overlook that either. Plus, it's available in agriculture, manufacturing, textiles, medicine, business, education (imagine that), and what many may still consider "lesser" or "blue collar" applications. It's available everywhere, so be sure to keep an open mind.





Yes, the colleges listed surely have great reputations but what good is it if it's not something you prefer? Be sure to check over the websites and email the departments for more information. It would also benefit you to contact technology and computer science associations. International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED) is a group. Another is the National Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT) of which I am a member. Association for Information Technology Professionals (AITP), Institute for the Certification of Computing Professionals (ICCP) is another.





It would also help if you could speak to members of honor societies in certain curricula. I'm a member of Epsilon Pi Tau, Beta Mu chapter through the ECU College of Technology %26amp; Computer Science (my degree info was listed under Industrial Technology. I have a degree in Technology Systems with a concentration in Digital Communications. See what I mean about how things are listed? Some curricula are much broader than others) . It's the third largest college for the state of North Carolina. The specific College of Technology and Computer Science at East Carolina University is made up of seven schools:





Design, Industrial Distribution and Logistics, Engineering,


Manufacturing, Construction Management, Industrial Technology and ... Computer Science!








There is the Association of College Honor Societies. Each curriculum has its own honor society. I've looked for more "global" information because I'm not sure where you are and I want this to be as complete as possible. I've got the following site because I am an EPT member http://eptglobal.org/ but I don't have any other information regarding other honor societies. I'm sure that if you ask the specific schools where you request information, they ought to be able to give you the Trustees names of their societies.





I will also list the above info in my sources listing to help you out.





I'm sorry if all this is overwhelming. If you're new to things it may benefit you to find a 2 year college first to get a better feel for what you are looking for to fit your needs and career wishes. I've seen lots of students change curricula because it really wasn't what they wanted... after 3 years of study. Sometimes they end up having to go an extra year or two because it was quite late when they figured out what they really wanted.





Yes, I am a professor, and I personally vouch for East Carolina University (alumni and adjunct). It doesn't sound like much to many, but we've made great strides in technology with corporate and community involvement.





I can also vouch for Pitt Community College (2 year college). Last year they received a sizeable grant for the Biotechnology Department.





Whatever you decide, visit as many campuses as you can. I wish you the best of luck.
