BSc Computer Science
Why did you choose this course and why Lincoln College?
I chose this Higher Education Course mainly because I want to pursue a career in cybersecurity, alongside this during my studies at Lincoln College during my time in the Air & Defence program I was told I couldn’t pursue a career in the RAF from medical grounds. I took this quite hard but the encouraging words from the tutors, during my regular studies enabled me to get a much better grasp on my confidence. This then furthered my grades quite exponentially which led me to be recommended for the BCs degree. I had offers from other universities but the staff and the quality of learning I would get by having the smaller group sizes appealed more to me than regular Higher Education Campus. Since I knew all the Tutors beforehand it made the transition from Level 3 to BSc a lot easier to overcome. I think the small class sizes alongside the friendly tutors enable for a very enjoyable learning environment which I believe is the most enjoyable aspect of the course.
