In my first year of Computer science, what people don't realize is that the cs degree is is 30% computer science stuff 70% math , statistics and applied math courses. Don't take that "science" for granted.

I’m watching this in grade 12 and I have applied for Bsc in Computer Science hopefully I get into it next year at UCT and this another way of encouragement

bro just put in the time, and youll be okay atleast you dont use C++ first year in UCT(python) at Tuks they chuck you straight in the deep end baba with C++ 😂 & the first sem imperative programming module🤧🤧... trust me youre safe in UCT 😂

which one is better between computer engineering nd computer science in terms of job opportunities and all that stuff

@masanaxx 8 месяцев назад

I think both honestly… coz you still learn how to code well in both. it just depends on what you enjoy more

@emmambewu6850 Год назад

Do they focus more on Theory or Coding/Programming OR is it balanced? If they do focus on Theory, do u recommend bootcamps?

@khayeilhleshabangu7341 13 дней назад

Not worth it in IT theory

Hey Masana. Great video btw✨ I wanted to know if you know any websites or YT channels that can hp with Delphi programming. Cos my teacher is not very helpful 😂 also is Computer science maths hard cos I wanna do CS but my maths isn't mathsing

@zintlee101 Год назад

Hey I did I think Mr Long on youtube could assist with Delphi programming if you’re doing IT at school.

if you already have a guy its fine but does he value your interests or do reseach about computer science , does he have some partnership on your skills ...team work pays

@hotwings9382 Год назад

I am feeling disappointed as time goes. I changed careers from mechanical engineering, worked from 2012 till I went back to school with UNISA. I registered for IT Diploma, most of the modules and books we use are the same as those doing BSC informatics, it's discouraging the when I do interviews with recruiters they look down on my qualification as it's a diploma and yet here I am getting paid by bsc students for tutoring classes. I wish to find an internship as soon as possible.

@masanaxx Год назад

I hear you… yeah I don’t know why some companies look down on diplomas, but don’t lose hope… some companies don’t care about that they care more about the skill you have. Do you have a portfolio showcasing personal projects you’ve coded? If I were you I’d create a portfolio on GitHub and add projects of the different coding languages I am proficient in… and then add that to my resume…🌸

@hotwings9382 Год назад

@@masanaxx yes I have a GitHub, I'm also involved in an intensive bootcamp to hopefully build me a solid portfolio to showcase throughout the year. I really am desperate to kickstart a career in software engineering, can't wait to start🙏

@nataleewentzel8857 Год назад

Heyyy Masana💕💕…he you’re well. For someone like me(who’s rewriting maths this year)…I decided I want to do CS a few weeks/days ago, I’ve researched what it is, the requirements, and other info too…who’s ever the only thing that’s scaring me is lack of knowledge in the “computer world” if I can say…fortunate enough, I attended school where I had robotics class where we used the app Scratch(coding app for beginners) to code/create actions for our little robot/s…other than that, I have no knowledge of how the coding/computer world works

@nataleewentzel8857 Год назад

I’d like to ask for tips you can give to build my knowledge, and/or basic skills I need to learn/know before I pursue my CS studies🙏🙏🙏

@nataleewentzel8857 Год назад

Ooh yes, and I don’t have physics as a subject

@masanaxx Год назад

Hey❤️🥹 that’s great, Computer Science is a great field! And you don’t need to have all the exposure when you start your studies honestly… the exposure you have to Scratch is already good.. but if you do want to set yourself ahead I’d recommend you start looking at the Python programming tutorials for beginners… and as you learn, create a portfolio for yourself on GitHub where you store your personal projects.

@masanaxx Год назад

@@nataleewentzel8857 if you don’t have Physics as a subject, it’s a bit tricky coz at UCT it’s a requirement for the BSc stream… but I think if you go the BCom Information Systems and Computer Science route then you might not need Physics. Check the UCT Faculty of Commerce prospectus book. There should be a pdf on Google… and check the Information Systems with Computer Science 🌸

Yess, applications will open early next year, I think March or April. and you can use your grade 12 first term results if you're in grade 12 or your end of year results if you're already done.

@dilonchikuni6793 Год назад

Is computer science harder than engineering eg industrial or civil

@masanaxx Год назад

I'm not sure hey, I think it just depends on your strengths... I could never do Industrial or Civil engineering tho, coz I don't like Physics and I'm not that good in it... Computer. Science has more Math-related stuff so I find it easier...

@nonhlanhlamagwaza__ Год назад

Hey so UCT doesn’t have Computers science specialising in Artificial Intelligence?

You can also do a double major with Computer Engineering if you're interested in AI, in your third year you'll explore AI topics deep in 2 courses/modules , (Machine Learning and Embedded Systems 2)

@kagisolekhuleni2795 Год назад

Can I major in mathematical statistics with a BCom Computer Science?

@Yahweh5995 Год назад

I don't think so. I'm doing a BSc Computer Science , Mathematics and Statistics . Most guys that have Comp Sci as a Bcom degree they can choose informatics as a second major . Then again this is subjective do more research.
