Hi Sriram,

Thanks for your kind reply and sorry for the delay in replying.

Actually I am planning to do Masters in Jan 2014 intake.
As I scanned through the options,I see there are not many universities
offering Jan intake.

I wanted to pursue Masters in Distributed/Cloud computing.
I found University of Leicester offering MSc in Cloud Computing in Jan
intake.

How well do you suggest University of Leicester for Masters in Computer
science?
Also I am planning to do internship during summer holidays and would like
to know about the internship opportunities available in UK

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ishwarya
