Online MSc Degrees - University of Bath UK

I was born around 13 miles from Bath, in 1943. One of the loveliest parts of England. The University wasn't there, yet - it was established in 1966. Obviously, it has built a fine reputation. Good place to go to Uni - virtually or on-campus. Great find.

 

Georgia Tech has Master in Computer Science with specialize in Intelligence, Machine Learning, for ~1/3 of the cost.

Please do your research before you jump into Bath. Many of the UK university's online programs are ran by the same 3rd party company

This is an on-going chat in the studentroom forums about the university of york's online program - there's a ton of complaints, both about York and how it's managed.

Though it's not Bath - they are ran by the same company.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

Do they offer free baths at the university?

 

Maybe, if you live in residence, Chris, but you have to go into town to get the famous ones. The first baths were built in Roman days, when the place was called "Aquae Sulis" - (Waters of Sul, a goddess in the local native religion.)

"Every day, over one million liters of water springs forth from the hot springs. From the 1970's until 2006, all that water simply ended up in the river Avon. Today that water feeds four baths at the Thermae Bath Spa. And don't worry, you won't find tepid showers with cracked tile floors!" - Google

 

Yes, good piece of information, but I don't think just using a third-party company is necessarily disqualifying. How does it affect the content? GaTech OMSCS, mentioned here, is ran in partnership with Coursera, and still is one of the best deals (if not THE best) and highest quality programs in this subject.

 

It isn't. At all. I never said it was. On reading nyvrem's post, I saw that this particular third party, the same one that runs programs for U. of York, is said, by York students, to be problematic. It's not a blanket statement about ALL third parties.

 

The only thing I do not like about a third-party company is their marketing tactics. Not all, but many, of them bombard you with calls, emails, etc. and it is quite the annoyance.

 

The only thing I care about with such companies is how they do their job. Do I get the learning experience I should, delivered and administered well? I gather students say there may be some problems with that in the co. that runs programs for both York and Bath. That's a big concern.

The "bombarding" stuff -- I use my built-in "ignore" mechanism.
