UCT Graduates Give Tips for Surviving University Computer Science/Engineering |

[@lindikaya]

I love this...especially making it fun, I got to UCT in 1998 doing Computer Science (BS) without ever touching a computer, it was a difficult time, going over the language barrier (English) before even doing Computer Science the coding. I am a Vet now, its a miracle what I have achieved. If I had more support and access to resources and more mentorship it would not have been as difficult. I love this channel and I think I will try to spend more time and help in answering some of the questions young people have. Oh, and Girls who Code, Rock!

[@SunshineinMyCode]

Thank you so much for the support Lindikaya, I am so sorry to hear about your experience at UCT. I am glad you are still interested in computer science related stuff!

We need more girls in Computer Science!

Hello there, I'm a 17 year old student, I'm graduating next year, and I'm gonna be 18 too, so my parents want me to get into South Africa for university. University of Cape town seems to be a very lovely and perfect place to start with for a bachelor's degree. So I wanna know what kinds of grades do they expect? And any other advice than can help in getting in more will help a lot, thanks!

[@Gen-xplus]

Excellent grades especially if you are an international student. I had 1 B on my report and I didn’t get into my first choice but I got in after my first year in a related program. Great 👍🏾 uni

Hey, love your video I want to get in UCT also in 2020 for computer science and engineering but I don’t know how, does UCT have CS&CE together? Can you help me?

[@zuleighapatel2713]

I'm planning to study computer science at UCT this year as a girl as well.

[@user-a554]

How is it going?

[@zuleighapatel2713]

@@user-a554 it's going well so far... a little hectic at times though but yeah. And you... are you studying

[@rorisanggosiame8047]

Thank you very much for the tips, i needed this. God bless!

[@ngoako]

Great tips, I have one small question that's been on my mind maybe you can enlighten me. How much math is there in the UCT Computer Science program? (I know the curriculum might have changed so you can answer for how it was when you were taking the program) EDIT: I got my answer from watching more of your videos👍

[@uShabangu]

thanks this just gave me inspiration not to give up, for a second I was thinking of deregistering.

[@Kgotso_Koete]

Great tips :). Do you also have any advice for those learning to code outside of a university structure, like using online resources only?

[@SunshineinMyCode]

Kgotso Koete that’s a good idea. I will speak to some people and see if I can collaborate with some self taught developers🌻

[@SibaDaki]

Follow KZbin tutorials, and Udemy

[@makhadzianaki]

Which suburb is the science faculty/campus? I am looking for accommodation and I have no clue where to look that will be walking distance to campus

[@naledimahloane8488]

I’m currently in grade 9 and I currently am about to chose subjects .What subjects are needed for cs and ce.

[@VuyaniMagibisela]

Mathematics and IT or CAT if there is no IT in your school. Those are the two most important and yeah obviously physics.

What level do I need in maths and is my grade 11 report needed when I apply at UCT?

[@karabo2801]

😍😂😂😂i also started with gogga programs

[@thendomakherana1864]

How are the things being done at school related to work and after varsity how can I prepare myself to be ready to work..skills.

[@SunshineinMyCode]

Hello Makarina It really depends on what you are working, some work places will require you to know deep things and others won't. Some work places will be happy to train you and others wont so it's really hard to say

[@kylejackson7176]

Hi, I really need some some help. I currently want to study computer science which was a last minute choice I made. The problem is, I need Maths. I did maths lit in high school so im unable to apply. Can you please give me some advice on what to do.

[@mawethusidlayi2175]

I think the environment you talking about at 01:26 is Java Turtle

[@SunshineinMyCode]

Thank you Mawethu, thank you for watching The program was called Gogga, it was on jgrasp (here is the link to it kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJnXXnh3fZyla8k)

7:03 this realization came to me late but once got I over that fear I started blooming and gained a lot.

[@adivhahoradziuhuni9059]

This video doesn't really inform people about computer engineering... computer science is super different from computer engineering....

[@SunshineinMyCode]

Hello Advhavho, Did you watch the whole video because we do actually talk about the differences. Ona majored in computer engineering and computer science The video is not meant to highlight the difference between the degrees but rather to talk about tips for doing well in your degree and how we both got into programming. These tips will actually apply for any degree. Good luck with your studies and stay positive!
