Choice of Universitys

OP

Thank you very much ! One more thing, University of Surrey and RHUL appear to have Computer Science with an industrial placement in the website but it doesn't appear when applying on the UCAS website ?

My predicted grades are AAA, my current choices are:

- Queen Mary x 2
- Surrey
- City
- Royal Holloway

I'm currently debating wether I should apply for Computer Science or Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence).How much of a difference are their between the courses as a BSc's?
Also Ive read about Computer Science with industry replacement, what are the pros and cons about an industry replacement?
Any advice or replies are appreciated, thanks.

i gotta say we've applied to almost the same unis! i applied to all of those except surrey, which was brunel for me! also comp sci! but i actually applied for different comp sci related courses in each uni! ive got 2 offers already!

Great news ! Brunel was an option but it was just ranked much lower than the other universities I applied for. Regarding applying for different parts of Computer Science I believe its possible for some unis to switch after the first year or 2 which I will perhaps do so for Artificial Intelligence. As it stands now, I'd like to keep my options for future careers open

I tried but I just sent it off without worrying too much. On the website they appear both to have a placement offer so if I get an offer I'll clear things up! Also what were your predicted grades?

so i applied on the 3rd of November,
6th of nov my apprenticeship with QMUL got back to me about interviews (they haven’t given me an offer yet i’ve just done the interviews)
7th - offer for my other undergrad course at QMUL
20th nov - offer at city!

i’ve got confirmation emails for all
unis except RHUL, so i called them and they said that they don’t send confirmation emails just offer email (most unis will email u saying your application is under review, they don’t)
