Two questions....

Royal Holloway definitely does medieval history, as I know very well - I'm going into the third-year there, and specialise in medieval history. Definitely recommended. :smile:

Keele do european and medieval - take a look at them, great university and usually 260 UCAS points wise, so an easy target

Thank you for your advice, it's much appreciated. I'll look into Keele, Exeter and Swansea.

I'm in upper sixth so basically just finalising UCAS stuff and hoping to send it all off mid-October/early November.

Ah, so it does! I've given that a look and probably will apply there..

So far I'm thinking:
UCL
Oxford Brookes
Queen Mary
*St Mary's
*Nottingham Trent

(* denotes possibly...)

Any more ideas are welcome.

Does Swansea not attract you after all then? It has a better reputation than any of the universities in your list above, apart from UCL!

What's wrong with History at RHUL? It's very reputable (joint 11th in the country, according to the Times), and is a warm, friendly department, with plenty of medieval and early modern options for those who aren't great fans of modern history! :smile:

SOAS, if you would like a breath of fresh air from the traditional courses all around the country. Plus the SOAS library - unmatchable in its area. I'd go as far as saying that it is the biggest and best library on Africa and Asia in Western Europe.

Thanks for the responce. My list is currently looking like so:

UCL
Queen Mary
Oxford Brookes
*Nottingham/Trent
*Swansea
*Southampton
*RHUL

Still looking and confirming though... God, it's really a nightmare picking, especially when you're incredibly indecisive like myself.

If you're going on reputation (particularly for History), I'd say RHUL and Southampton are better than QMUL and Oxford Brookes...though I agree that UCL is definitely the best! :smile:

The problem I have is poor predicted grades (ie, BBC). I mean, I've had a look and chosen courses based on the assumption I'll get a BBB (I may get better, but I'm not going to risk applying for all AAA unis...)

So far it's looking like, in no particular order:
UCL
Queen Mary
RHUL
Goldsmiths
Oxford Brookes

One more... :x

Ah, ok then. I'd recommend Swansea for your other choice, its History Department has a pretty good reputation as far as I know... *waits for HistoryStudent to back that point up*

Also - it just occured to me, have you considered Reading at all? They do medieval and early modern history.

Edit: I forgot to say, BBC isn't poor! :smile:
