HOW TO GET INTO COMPUTER SCIENCE |UCT SOUTH AFRICA

[@bhalisasodo2369]

Don't choose something easy. Choose what aligns with your goals.

[@certifiedgyver4439]

Easy in Comp Science🤔

[@thenemesis3054]

I should have discovered u earlier

[@gautamatodzi3040]

Thank you woman in stem

[@MT-04]

It was 70% not 50% in maths requirements for CS when I first registered in 2020... unless they changed it...And you saved your life from Physics I also switched it to CS...PHY1004W is the most difficult course in 1st year level at UCT, MAM1000W is nothing... I was also very good in it in high school I got over 90% but my first test I got 26%💔😭😭😭

[@Yahweh5995]

The requirement is still 70% for mathematics .

[@MT-04]

I guess she made a little mistake at 6:31

[@MkhululiSibusisoMolea]

Please keep on updating us these videos are helpful

[@mhlongondalo]

Wait you said 36 minimum APS score it’s chai, my maths is on 79

[@ModouHuma-w4p]

Go through the application process

[@certifiedgyver4439]

Do you guys pass your modules @UCT, here @UJ we don't we looking @6 strong years in here

[@behzadalavi2157]

Hello thanks for your useful information Please give me some information about requirements for applying for master or PhD programs in computer science

[@alvinroy5216]

Hi,im in grade 11 and wanna study at uct but im currently doing a commerce course with computers included because my school didnt include physics with computes,will i still be able to do the science faculty?

[@allthingsmusic5981]

Thanks for the advice!!!!!

[@FlorenceAbel-k1w]

hey I just did my frm 4 this year and I got D+ in maths ,C+ in physics can I join (Kenya)

[@SHE_GRACE]

I just hope i make it to UCT 😢

[@abongile_n]

You will babes and say hi when you see me!!🥰

[@mae5849]

sis did u?

[@SHE_GRACE]

@mae I'm still currently doing grade 12 but i don't think i will since i haven't applied

[@tanya7360]

did you make it??

[@Yahweh5995]

I wanna major in computer science and applied mathematics but since you revealed computer engineering as a double major I'm interested in that combination , my question is will i do mathematics if i go for computer science and computer engineering because i love numbers and math ?????

[@abongile_n]

Yes you can do maths And since you interested with computer Engineering you will do the hardest Maths Don't worry too much the orientation leaders will help you with your curriculum 🥰😍

[@Yahweh5995]

@@abongile_n cool then I'll choose computer engineering as my double major , i can't wait for the mathematics , I wanna fuck some shit up . Thanks you are the best bro .

[@lakarabo2812]

I’m currently doing grade12. My status currently says my marks are not competitive yet so I’m scared that I might not get admitted in this faculty off Bsc of SB001 which is computer Science

[@lmkkk9398]

How much did u get for your 6 Subjects?

[@lakarabo2812]

@@lmkkk9398 my average in term 2 was 60%+ percent

[@brandontshepang769]

thanks for the information ,u made everything understandable☺😪

[@demanivy4023]

I wanna do Computer science and right now I'm upgrading my mathematics and physical science, I wanna know if I'll be able to do the course if I didn't do information technology in High school😩

[@abongile_n]

Yes you can I also didn't do IT in school

[@demanivy4023]

@@abongile_n Thank you so much, so It won't be a problem if I don't have basics in computer programming or coding and other stuff?

[@MerlinLebese]

Thank you❤very much The information was helpful Thank you so much

[@abongile_n]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tanya7360]

Hi, I'm in grade 11 and my subjects are all well except for mathematics. The requirements are 70% yet i keep on getting 65-69% and I'm so worried I won't get in. How did your report mark look like?

[@NBA_Rewinds1]

Can u do computer science with diploma. Maybe computer science (extended)?

[@lottodraw9829]

Nice

[@nethanr.t3403]

Can I ask ,what if I didn't reach the minimum requirements in Grade 11 n applied with that report then got a minimum of 75% on final year (matric) ..would they accept me?

[@abongile_n]

So how Universities work is they give out conditional acceptances before the final exam marks are out . So If you didn't do well in grade 11 then I think you can redeem yourself with grade 12 term one and use that report to apply instead

[@nethanr.t3403]

@@abongile_n would they consider that in January though?

[@abongile_n]

If there are late applications in the following year then I think they will consider your final

[@Tman238]

Hi, quick question can i switch from another bsc to bsc compsci in my first year.

[@abongile_n]

Yes I did From Physics to Business computing

Can you do a video about software engineering?

Is physics tougher than computer engineering as a second major

[@AkaniMhlongo]

How was your grade 11 report when you applied?

[@SHE_GRACE]

I'm doing grade 11 & i wanna study CS but everytime i here someone talking about how hard it is, it discourages me tbh

[@abongile_n]

To be honest nothing worthwhile is easy but hard doesn't mean it is impossible . I had zero experience in coding but I'm doing it because i have passion for it . You can do it 😊😊

[@k1ll_astro]

do i need physics to do Computer Science?

[@29Sage]

How is business computing? And how's the difficulty?

[@olwethungolotyi459]

You will do CS courses however you will all be exposed to accounting , financial analysis and financial management. Its a nice intersection between CompSci and Commerce subjects

[@tshembhoxivambu3697]

I’m a first year CSC student,took Word Power as an elective. Yerrrr that thing is hard ,first semester I took Geology,dropped it 🤣🤣🤣

[@similosihlongonyane8572]

Hi abongile... Please help me out,, do they provide Cyber security analyst courses in UCT?

[@abongile_n]

Hi Nope 🥲

[@IAmIndeedBatman]

when i take computer science right , will that lead me to becoming a software engineer? because i applied for computer science majoring in that and computer engineering . so now im wondering will it lead to me being a software engineer?

[@toxiciq2664]

Comp Science is the one that gets to software engineering, enjoy ur salary when u get there bro😩

[@saint_alabama]

I think I've found the princess that should kiss to become a night in shining armor

😄 🤣 okay

[@HOJogaBonito]

Is there anything you can do if you don’t meet the minimum requirements?

[@Es_gee]

Rewrite or start from a diploma

[@jamemule5326]

I see you are fellow messi fan 🤝

[@toxiciq2664]

Im in G12 and don’t take Physics as a subject, will I still qualify? I got Mathematics

[@abongile_n]

Yes you do check out one of my latest videos "Computer science in 3 Faculties..." video it explains well

[@lejonemosalemane2894]

do you need to take CAT or IT to to do comp sci?

[@allthingssamusic8104]

No

[@makhadzianaki]

Hi Abongile. I have a random question. Which campus is the computer science faculty at uct? And which suburb does it fall under? I am currently looking for accommodation for my little sister and a bit clueless and Google maps hasn't assisted much

[@abongile_n]

Oh hey Well UCT is in Cape town Well CS is at Upper Campus , Rondebosch There are many res that you can check out at lower Campus or you can email uct administrators to send you a link for private reses I'm sure they can help you better

[@makhadzianaki]

This is helpful. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@realnffans]

Information technology is available on uct?

[@abongile_n]

yes it is available!
