    Choosing university for postgraduate studies...
    Hello all

    I'm currently studying Electronic Engineering in Greece and I'm planning to continue my studies in UK after graduation this summer.My first option for msc is software engineering or a revelant course with a lot of programming.


    I thought it would be a bit difficult to be accepted in a Msc Software Engineering because my first degree was more Hardware-oriented but I was proven wrong.I sent an enquire e-mail to these universities and msc programs:

    Nottingham University Advanced Computing Science msc
    Greenwich University Software Engineering msc
    Heriot-Watt Software Engineering msc
    UWE Bristol Software Engineering msc
    Westminster Software Engineering msc
    Kingston Software Engineering msc

    I got a positive answer for all them and only Nottingham Uni asked me for a 7/10 minimum grade which I have it but I'm not really excited to study ACS.So my questions are:
    1) Can you rank and rate those Universities for me?
    2) Is Nottingham university so much better from the other 5 to prefer it even if ACS isn't my first option?
    3) Do I have to enquire to some other, more prestigious maybe, universities or these 6 are ok?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.
