Application to Strathclyde Comp Sci (Bsc)

Original post by University of Strathclyde

Hey @Seumas06 🙂 Excited that you're considering studying with us!

Our standard entry requirements (as you've noted) are AAAB/AABBB (with Maths B, Computing Science recommended). With the AABBC you've achieved in S5 (assuming you have Higher Maths), you're either an A or B required towards meeting that at the moment. If you were to receive a conditional offer of study, it would likely be for another A or B.

If you qualify for our minimum entry requirements then you may qualify for an unconditional offer as you would be working towards ABBB/BBBBB by the end of S6. If you click the link provided there this will give you more info on contextual offers.

Each application is reviewed individually so I can't guarantee an offer would be made. The extra curricular study and work you're putting in is all good for showing your dedication and relevant interests in your studies 🙂 If you're working towards the standard entry requirements and the department would like to make you an offer - I'd say it would likely be a conditional one.

Good luck! Let me know when you hear back 💻️

Hi Caitlin!

I'll keep everything crossed for you while you wait 🙂 I know it can be daunting but no news is good news and you're still being considered until you hear otherwise.

Wishing you lots of luck! 🤞

Think I’ll go to Dundee. My grades are highers A (comp sci) 3 x Bs (physics, Chem, maths) English C. Nat 5s 7As
Currently doing 3 adv highers physics maths and comp sci. Slightly less than you so hopefully you get a place. Good luck 🤞🏻

I know, it was in the hope I got an offer from Glasgow or Strathclyde. Don’t really need them now 🙈
Let me know if you get an offer - keeping fingers crossed for you.

Hello, I have appeared to have gotten lucky - I initially had some bad news around 7 to 8 days ago in which strathclyde rejected me, but it seems they changed their mind 2 days ago when they updated it to a conditonal (for an A or B in higher) - which I am very thankful for! It might have had something to do with places freeing up, I was about to place Stirling as my firm choice so im glad I waited as this was the course I wanted. I wish you the best of luck if you are still going for Dundee! (I heard they are also quite good for computer science, especially in the game development scene)
