    KING'S vs BRISTOL vs Warwick for Computer Science
    Hi all!

    I'm international student who have to start PG taught course among above universities. I actually got unconditional offers from them but It is really hard to make a decision without any information of them.

    As I research, they had distinctive attraction for me. KCL is located in London. Warwick has good reputation at least in our country. But some people say in terms of subject ranking in computer science, Bristol is highest among them.

    Since I've been working software engineer for 10 years, I don't really wanna study practical course. KCL provides practical structure but I hoped to stay London.*

    Anyway these information is obtained from our country's community. I hoped to hear local thoughts! Could you give any advice for me? It would be helpful for me.*

    Thank you

    Even I wanna Know the same thing. Even I have an offer from KCL. I also recived an offer from Durham and Queen Mary.
    I personally wanna stay in London. So for me the choice was between KCL and Queen Mary. KCL is too expensive for international students. (19000 pounds). So I decided on Queen Mary. Sooo Is Queen Mary a good choice :confused:

    I would have probably gone with with Durham to be honest... QMUL is a good uni, applied there myself for that same course but ended up choosing another uni which wasn't in London.
    The way I see it is: if you wanna work in the UK when you finish your degree, you can always do that even if you didn't get you degree in London.... Just as long as it's a good uni!
    QMUL's been invited to join the Russell Group in August 2012 (basically next month) so that's gonna put the uni in whole new elitist group of British unis which is always good especially if you are from overseas :-)
