Software Engineering with Management Studies MSc: What our students say

"Deciding to study my MSc at Kingston was probably one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. After three years' study at Kingston for my Software Engineering BSc degree, I was very much aware of Kingston's reputation – for quality of teaching, the content of the course and the good relationship between students and staff to mention but a few.

"I found the structure of the course very good. Focusing on each module for a whole week was good as it made it easier for me to plan my personal study time table. Even though I was studying a Software Engineering MSc, the flexibility of the course made it possible for me to choose modules from other disciplines. This was great as it allowed me to expand my knowledge into other areas.

"As a full-time course, I expected it to be very tough, and indeed it was, but the friendliness and willingness of lecturers and staff made it an enjoyable year."

"I completed my Bachelors in Engineering degree at Pune University in India and decided to study an MSc overseas to give me an internationally-recognised qualification and allow me to work anywhere in the world.

"I did a lot of research into the options and applied to a number of UK universities but I was really impressed with the course content and structure of the MSc courses at Kingston. This, as well as the University's reputation for computing courses and the quality of the information provided, made Kingston my first choice.

"After passing my course in 2007 with a distinction, the University's job shop helped me get my first position with an IT company dealing with financial services located at the heart of the City of London. The job was been fantastic and I gained a lot of experience and knowledge, which helped me to secure a new role as a software engineer with GlaxoSmithKline in July 2008.

"As an alumnus, I am still in touch with the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing at Kingston. The Faculty arranges reunions and other events at which we have the chance to meet our tutors, friends and new students at the University.

"What would I say to an Indian student thinking of studying at Kingston University? I'd say if you get the opportunity, do it – it's the best and there are no doubts about it."
