    I am looking to study computer science starting 2013 and am therefore starting to look at specific Universities now.


    I have already looked at league tables.


    Which Universities in the UK either specialise in computing/computer science or are well-known for their computing department?

    Oxbridge, Imperial, Southampton, Bristol, York, Manchester, Bath, Edinburgh are most of the big players. But for CS any university in the top 20 will do.
    Oxbridge have a very theoretical course, which I don't like personally.
