Physics: UCL vs KCL vs Birmingham

Poll

Physics: UCL vs KCL vs Birmingham

UCL: Physics (F303)
KCL: Physics with Theoretical Physics (F302)
Birmingham: Physics with Particle Physics and Cosmology (F373)

Okay, so I got offers from these three and I can meet the conditions of all of them.

Which provides best career development opportunities?
Research facilities? International reputation?
I can't really speak for Birmingham, but UCL is a great place to be - I've really enjoyed my first year and I love it here so much. The department is great as well - really strong with some fantastic links to Europe and America. Mostly experimental, but there is some good theoretical stuff here too.

With the KCL and Birmingham courses, you are much more employable with a general physics degree than you are with specialities (although I'm sure you could swap when you get there if you wanted to). It's great if you like them earlier but you can always specialise later - you never know what's going to happen during your degree. Your interests WILL change - I guarantee it :P

Let me know if you need anything else! :smile:
