I hear Cardiff is very good. Swansea Uni is also good - I know the place well, because I go there often. It's got the most amazing beaches, which is definitely a plus! Here's a beach relatively near Swansea University

Heya!!

I'm so torn between both of the unis! :erm:

could you perhaps give me the pros and cons of both, because I'm soooo stuck for choice :zomg:

Are the beaches the only highlight in Swansea do you reckon? :smile:

Are Cardiff and Swansea your top choices?

I don't actually know much about Cardiff University, just that it is one of the top universities. It's very good for research quality and graduate prospects and the majority of graduates have good honours.
Swansea University is also quite high in the rankings. Swansea's entry standards are lower than Cardiff's, but Swansea's graduate prospects are just as good. That tells you that you don't need to go to a university that's harder to get into to get a good job. I know someone who goes to Swansea University and he really loves it there.

But I don't like to look at the university as a whole really. Have a look in the rankings for the particular subject you want to study, because that's the most important thing. Look at the Unistats for that course, they're very helpful! You want to make sure that students have actually enjoyed the course and whether they are employed six months after they leave university.

The locals are sooooo friendly in Swansea and Cardiff, because it's Wales. They're really happy and full of life. I think quite a lot of the people in Swansea uni are local, because university in Wales is free for those who live there. Both cities should have good nightlife, though there may be more clubs in Cardiff because it is slightly bigger.

Hope that helps a bit :smile:

You're actually an angel :daydreaming:

thanks for the lengthy response!

For the course I'm interested in (Software Engineering), the responses are quite different on unistats. The Cardiff stats tend to be generally worse than Swansea but this is because the data was collected from 75 students in Cardiff in comparison to the 35 students in Swansea. So already, it's hard to compare when they're based off a different sample size. The end results i.e. the salaries tend to be similar but there just seems to be a gap in terms of the teaching so I'm in a bit of a dilemma haha!

Here is the table(Cardiff - left, Swansea - right)

I'm applying for Multimedia Broadcast Journalism @ Brighton, and Journalism @ Sussex. :smile:

I live in Peterborough but my dad lives in Lewes. (i'm 23/"mature student")

Anyone applied/heard from Brighton?

I applied about 3 weeks ago. Had a thank you e-mail and they're "considering"... Visited the uni at the weekend and met the admissions tutor who asked my name because they want to look at my application/they want me there! Think I'd prefer Sussex though because of the location (course is at Hastings campus for Brighton uni)...

I applied to Lincoln, Sheffield Hallam, Liverpool John Moore and UClan as well. To be honest only Lincoln and Brighton appeal to me, as they are the only 'academic' ones. The only reason I chose the rest is because they are good for my course :s-smilie:

I applied on the 20th last month
