    City has a better reputation and that sounds like a more respectable course - if reputation is important to you anyway

    Problem I have is that I have never done much of the stuff that computer science offers, for example not a lot of programming. My maths is not that great either.

    Well obviously the university must think you're a suitable candidate or they wouldn't have accepted you, anyway isn't that the whole point of further education? To increase your knowledge i.e do further programming and to improve your skills i.e maths

    If you're arguing back against people who are telling you to go to city though, than thats a pretty good clue that you want to do the other course. When you're faced with a difficult choice you should flip a coin, because the second before it lands you know what you're wishing it to land on

    tl;dr listen to your heart :rolleyes: and go where you want to go

    City (rank 50) South Bank (rank 100) ! Think of the mini. spend of £8.5k x3 and decide if you still want to go South Bank:confused:

    The programming issue will solve itself, as I would assume they would teach you the things you need to know from scratch. They won't automatically assume you can do half the stuff before you've even arrived.
