10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ONLINE DEGREES | University of London | Distance Learning

[@mansijain6960]

Hey even I’m getting an online degree from amity university online but what I’ve realised is that students have easily outsmarted AI, there are whatsapp groups were answers to the questions are shared which makes me very concerned about the authenticity of the degree!

[@xalbatross1]

Thanks for doing an updated video!

[@ChrisObrienE]

EU doesn't accept Coursera degrees? Like Germany for example

[@yilmaz8]

Have you tried to find a job with this diploma? How do employers react?

[@FaizanJavair]

I am currently doing an internship as a DevOps engineer. And well tbh these days employers don’t even care about the degree, it all comes down to skills and experience. If you have skills and good portfolio, no one really cares if you have a degree or not. I know a lot of people working in tech without a CS degree and earning quite well. Although the degree will improve your chances of getting through that first round of Resume screening but after that it’s all technical questions. And I haven’t had any bad experience or weird questions being asked about the degree, so far everyone has been treating it normally.

I've genuinely heard some horror stories about University of London/Goldsmiths and Birkbeck online Computer Science. Lack of feedback, extremely poor admin , virtually no teaching from the lecturers. Also to get results have to wait 3/4 months. Even heard it took almost a year to get results a year or two ago !

[@sindirestiatama186]

Hello, thank you for making this video, this is what I looking for currently. I have a question related to activities that usually student do during their study, can we do international exchange or internship as an online degree's student?

[@FaizanJavair]

I am not sure about international exchange for all the universities but it’s less likely that the online degrees will have a international exchange program. And mostly these online degrees don’t offer great internships opportunities for students like you have in a physical degree soo you usually end up applying for jobs yourself.

[@GetushaHD]

What is the total cost for full years (4 years)? total every thing included the course tests etc. thanks :)

[@FaizanJavair]

You can looks at almost 15k to 17k pounds or more for the whole degree. Per year you would almost be paying 3.5k to 4k pounds. Per semester its almost 1500 to 1900 pounds. Again this all depends on where you live. Btw I am talking about UOL CS degree here, other degrees will have different fee. I hope this was helpful.

[@Ethereal-jb3le]

Hey there - this is what is mentioned in the faq's for this question - Your certificate will show that you have successfully completed the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. It will also show that the awarding body is the University of London with academic direction provided by Goldsmiths, University of London. The certificate does not mention Coursera or online study.

[@tomekzawislak8380]

Hey, great video! I was also wondering, how would you rate the "simplicity" of rules, assignments, contact in case of questions, etc. I am just worried that after applying, I will miss some rule and get lost.

[@FaizanJavair]

I am assuming you are asking about UOL CS degree. Well the assignments are 7/10 some projects are really great with structured and manageable expectations for the projects. But some are just worst at sucking the life out of you with the graders expecting way too much and guidelines being not that clear ending up in a mediocre grade. However overall the assignments are alright. But I have learned quite a lot even from the worst subjects so I am not gonna complain about them much. Contact in case of questions about the subject is whopping 0/10 because you can leave comments on the tutor group and maybe able to ask about assignments but usually you have live webinars before the mids and the finals only clearing the air about examinations. And the only lifeline for students is the Slack group of all the students with groups for different subjects where students help each other out through out the course and that community is a solid 9/10. But just keep in mind that throughout the degree it will you, coursera videos and the internet along with the slack group. However contact in case of questions about technical issues is 6/10 for most students and for me it’s around 8/10 because I have never had many issues but students when run into issues like deferring and exam, feee issues or sometime plagiarism issues run into really long delays due to poor management. But for me it’s been a smooth experience throughout with a few issues in between but they were sorted out by management. You usually contact them using either email or help portal. And in this past year they have improved they email support and management a lot but there are still many issues students are facing. But if you just keep on taking the subjects, passing them, and repeating the process, you will probably won’t ever run into any issues. But if you ever do run into any issue, then never hesitate to email UOL and keep on knocking at their door until they fix it. I hope this was helpful.

[@uttaralapalliravikumar678]

hi, im actually looking UOL CS degree to our son in Singapore, can you please advise how the Lecturers knowledge interms of coaching and support.. join with the tied up is better or direct online is better or both same level of coaching from UOL itself? appreciate your reply,

[@syedarsalan._]

@@uttaralapalliravikumar678 it is good I’m not studying CS but studying bsc marketing and the way of teaching is same. Everything is clearly step by step mentioned on the student portal which will be provided by UOL, portal includes everything online library , pre recorded lectures , past papers and you can ask direct questions from teachers they reply with in a day. As goes for with a recognised teaching centre and online in my opinion tied up is better as you can also enjoy university life and extra support from teachers as well but everything has pros and cons with recognised teaching centres you have to pay their fees as well along with UOL so in my opinion it costs you more as compared to online.

[@fionamehta11]

Hi! Your video is very informative! I am looking to apply for the LLM course at UOL and I wanted to know your personal feedback about it?

[@FaizanJavair]

Hey I am glad you found the video helpful! I have seen many people studying Law at Bachelors and Masters level. I have a friend who just completed his Bachelors from UOL and he got some good offer for Masters in the UK for a physical degree. So yeah I do think these degrees at both Bachelors and Masters level are great. But I would recommend you to check the reviews on Reddit as well and some feedback from existing students. Students also have Facebook group as well.

I wonder the same, i did some research and degree as paper is no different from on campus degree, so it DOES NOT say u did courses online, its normal degree, only problem is, it is university of london but this particular university is called goldsmiths, it is not very popular for CS degree, because goldsmiths is more creative university, its more for art, in creativity field its at the top rank but for CS its middle tier university. Maybe if u are in some third world country this degree will be very valuable but for UK market idk, im in UK and idk will it be valuable, even students from UCL which is top tier university first in uk and world, they have problems finding job nowdays, economy is bad right now. Im here because im doing more research, still havent made decision to enroll.

[@ZFatima-s2u]

Can you please tell me if while studying online at university of London, can i transfer to on campus during my studies ? Please reply, I need to apply for admission

[@FaizanJavair]

You can, but after you have completed level 4 and 5. Meaning in level 6, you can transfer to campus but fee is significantly higher compared to what you will be paying online. Also it depends on the degree as well, some do allow on-campus transfer while some don’t. But for my degree at least, BSc CS, students do transfer on campus. Just apply for it in the start of the year and keep a look out for due dates for those applications so you don’t accidentally miss them. I hope this answers your question.

[@ZFatima-s2u]

@@FaizanJavair Oh okay. So by level 4 and 5 you mean the semesters? Thank youu for the information , and yes I'm pursuing Bsc in CS as well so this on campus fits me. Is there any information on the website of this university about this , I couldn't find, I had watched all of your videos so I thought of asking you.

[@FaizanJavair]

@@ZFatima-s2u ahh no, by level 4 and level 5 I mean like subjects that are in level 4 and level 5. You will probably need to complete both level subs to proceed to transfer on campus. Ideally when you complete the degree as a full time student by taking 4 subjects per semester, then you can think of level 4 and level 5 as year 1 and 2. I hope this explains it better.

All you can do right now is wait. It takes time for it to show up for everyone. If it doesn’t get uploaded in the next 2-3 days then it’s best to email UOL directly. Usually, whenever you encounter any issues, just email UOL. I am assuming you are already in the Slack group, you can then easily find the UOL email in search.

Yes it is I’m also pursuing same degree and it is hec verified which means you can get local jobs too, it gives a good impression on your cv that you’re studying from a well known university and it doesn’t makes a difference, it is a bit expensive compared to our local degrees but if you perform good throughout your university you can get scholarships in masters as they’re recognised internationally as compared to our local degrees.

Hi. If I want to apply for an undegraduate online degree from LSE in BSc. economics and mathematics. Should I apply through UCAS ? Or platforms like edx and coursera. For physical on campus programs we need to submit the personal statement and prove them that we are worth doing the degree. Like is only applying through the application form in LSE website enough. Will we get admitted in the program?

[@FaizanJavair]

For physical degrees usually you apply through UCAS or on the website of the university. And mostly same is the case for online degrees as well because coursera or edx will eventually lead you to the university’s portal to complete your application. Note that coursera and edx will mostly be just the virtual learning environment, and you will end up completing all the registration process on the university’s website and will be in constant contact with university during your degree and application process.

Hello, first of all, I find your video very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to do a great job. I have a question which is the following: How many courses did you take per semester? In other words, for between 20 and 30 hours a week, how many courses can you take without being too stressed? Thank you in advance.

[@FaizanJavair]

Hey! I am glad you liked the video. Well my course allowed me to take a maximum 4 subjects per semester so as a full time student, I was able to manage 4 subjects together. However for people with a full time job may find it hard to manage the both. People then usually take 2 to 3 subs to put less pressure on them. But usually the pressure increases during midterms and finals otherwise mostly you can manage things quite well if you give equal time to each subject every week.

Thank you so much for your information. Just wanted know, after graduation, how was your experience in finding a job in your field of study?

[@FaizanJavair]

I have applied to many remote jobs, and yeah I am still in my final semester. And till now I have gotten two interview calls after applying to soo many junior roles and internships. And finally one of them hired me as an intern a few days ago as a developer (this is a remote job that I am talking about). The interviews went very well and not once they asked about my degree. However I did told them about what I have studied so far and they asked questions about the things I know about. But it all comes down to skills, knowledge and the willingness to learn. If you show all of them then yeah companies will hire you. But beware that finding remote jobs will be much harder than finding one locally in your country. But once you get it, then it’s all uphill ride. Mostly these days recruiters just look for skills and yeah having a degree in the resume is a plus but it never guarantees a job.
