I recently completed my M.Sc in Software Engineering at the University of Oxford (Soft Eng is closely affiliated with ComLab, but is a slightly separate department) and I can only speak well of the program, its lecturers, and its resources. This looks like a great program; if I were 18 again I might consider going to Oxford for this undergrad degree.
- arethuza 16y agoI was accepted to do AI and Linguistics at Edinburgh but went off to do a "straight" CS degree elsewhere - I often wish I'd done that rather than the more mainstream degree.
- chrisaycock 16y agoThere are several Oxonians on HN from the looks of it. I read for my DPhil in Computing, as did @cperciva.
- pauldoerwald 16y agoWhen did you finish your degree? Perhaps we were there at the same time? Although I was in a part-time program, so it's more likely that you know my TAs :-P.
- chrisaycock 16y agoI left early in 2005; my supervisor wanted to return to his native Australia, so I went with him as a "visiting fellow".
- swombat 16y agoThere certainly are. The Oxbridge mafia is everywhere shifty eyes. I'm pretty sure there's at least a few dozen moderately active HN users from Oxford (I'm one).
- jedc 16y agoAnd there are a number of Cambridge grads here, too. (And quite a few that are YC founders!)
- Emore 16y agoCome by during the open days for the Computer Science & Philosophy programme. Chances are I'll be arranging puzzle-hunts. Edit: realised you're probably not here anymore.
- chrisaycock 16y agoI went back for Alumni Weekend in September. I didn't stop by ComLab since I was busy with the port collection at Christ Church. :D
- Emore 16y agoWell, I can't blame you for that ;)
- haliax 16y agoWhich College were you at? I went to New!
