Hey friend,
Happy to answer. Feel free to get in touch on one of the socials in my profile to discuss further.
Q1. I'm from Australia, and the target destination is USA. Although I have no firm plans, I want to have the option in future. Australian's have access to a particular visa called E-3, which I have failed to obtain in the past due to lack of degree.
Q2. Yes. Upon completing this, I will have a BSc in Computer Science from the University of London. It's a bachelor's degree as good as anywhere. The exams are proctored, and all the exams/assignments are graded via Goldsmiths University. It's 100% legit.
Q3. You pay per module, so you don't need to pay up front. You just pick how many modules you want to do that semester and pay for them. The only requirement is that you must complete enough modules per semester to finish within 6 years. Since the education is directly related to my work, it is also tax-deductible in my country.
- TMWNN 1y ago>and all the exams/assignments are graded via Goldsmiths University I realize that you are doing this to check off the degree box on your visa application, but if your degree will be from Goldsmiths (that is, "Goldsmiths, University of London" on a résumé, as opposed to the generic "University of London", that would be especially helpful.
- lexandstuff 1y agoI had a look at another student's diploma certification, and it says: > "... having registered with the University of London and passed the approved examinations conducted by Goldsmiths College, has this day been admitted by the University of London to the Degree of BACHELOR OF SCIENCE". So I don't think it would be unreasonable to mention Goldsmith's College alongside UoL as your education history.
- TMWNN 1y agoYes, I would describe your degree as being from "Goldsmiths, University of London".

- lexandstuff 1y agoYep, all exams are done remotely, using Inspera proctoring software. The "classes" are just videos on Coursera - totally optional. You have mandatory midterm assignments, and either a final assignment or an exam, depending on the class.
- tarruda 1y ago> Yep, all exams are done remotely, using Inspera proctoring software. Looking at Inspera proctoring requirements, it only mentions windows/mac. Is it possible to use it inside a VM on Linux?
- lexandstuff 1y agoSearching the course Slack channels looks like it doesn't run on Linux, nor a VM (though I'm sure with enough fiddling the latter can be done)
