MSc Data Science - Batch of 2022

3.9

Scholarships are awarded based on undergraduate grade.

Tips: I think there should be a bit more flexibility in the degree programs. Management and data science programs are pretty academically oriented, while the remaining courses are easier to complete. The student union is also a big positive for the university. Additionally, scholarships are awarded based on undergraduate grade point average, which is great for the students who deserve them. Initially, I struggled to complete the classes because of the sudden shift to online learning. But I finally passed all my courses, which I was really relieved to hear.

Likes (Public transportation): The Liverpool John Moores University campus is located near the main station in Liverpool. There are lots of different options for getting around the city, and you can get a pass at a lower price while you are a student. I strongly recommend using public transport because there are so many options, and I found that using public transit is generally a great value.

Dislikes (Internships): We have to find our own internships, there is nothing like getting companies to campus. We will have a job fair, where they will explain their company details. There are internships available, so you have to be keen on getting those. Start applying from the initial days of your master's and try to get in touch with most of the senior faculty.

The college is good but the academics are average.

Tips: Students should have a thorough check on the background of the university and the degree of interest because there is no going back afterwards. Talking to them and hearing their experiences is helpful. Then try to participate in activities, as there are many on-campus events. Finally, attend classes and be attentive, talk to faculty, and participate in class discussions.
