Re: Top universities for mechanical engineering?Cambridge supposedly have a good engineering course as you specialise later on, thus providing a more rounded engineering background. I'd also imagine Oxford, Imperial, UCL, Warwick and the other usual suspects have good courses, but I'd just be guessing, really.(Original post by nsolma1)

Re: Top universities for mechanical engineering?Why advise, if you are guessing? Don't apply oxford, its not that great.(Original post by Astronomical)

Re: Top universities for mechanical engineering?Exactly! I appreciate you guys giving me advice, but im not exactle oxbridge material, neither imperial, maybe kings college. But yeh i messed up AS a bit becuz of the gap from gcse to a levels, i procrastrinated so much and I wish i had done it all differently.(Original post by Theafricanlegend)

So i want to be realistic about which universities to study at, if all else fails I will retake my AS year and apply to higher tier unis, but even that is risky, what if I get rejected then?
So yeh i want to play it safe for now, so please people dont come with oxbridge suggestions, even imperial is too high.
I think my predicted grades will be most likely ABB, if im lucky AAB.
Im so nervous about my predicted grades now

Re: Top universities for mechanical engineering?Yes, it specializes in arts, if you want sciences and engineering might as well go cambridge (if you are that good and have over 90 percent ums)(Original post by Boy_wonder_95)
Oxford aint great!? :O -

Re: Top universities for mechanical engineering?Its alright I guess. It never ranks highly in any rankings (engineering wise). If I was an employer I would take a graduate from imperial. Their course is called engineering science, as it is very general and that also might be a drawback.(Original post by Astronomical)
