UCAS Extra activities for Computer Science
Hi there, I'm looking to apply to multiple universities for Computer Science starting in Sept 2024.
I'm writing and setting up my application now, however, there is one section I lack in.
The "Extra Activities" section of the application is nearly blank, I barely have any pre university programs I've attended and am worried this looks poor.
Since I've got maybe 4-6 months to do stuff before I need to send applications, please could anybody suggest some extra activities / programs I could do that would look good for my UCAS application?
I don't live anywhere near London, so travel to specific universities for some activities may be hard, but I could try.
If there's any easy ones to complete or maybe even online courses that you can put in this section, please let me know of suggestions!
Thanks!
