G100 MATHEMATICS. Which London Uni would you prefer to study it in?

Hi,

I'm in year 12 and I've finally decided I'm hopefully going to be applying next year for G100 Mathematics.

I have to stay in London and realistically the best thing I could probably go to would be LSE or IMPERIAL which is HIGHLY unlikely. But the other kinda averageUnis I've been looking at were:

•

KCL

•

QMUL

•

ROYAL HOLLOWAY

•

LONDON MET :ninja:

My best friend is going to be studying at Hertfordshire Uni and maybe if I beg my parents they might let me... Is it any good?

I've been using this site, if it's any good to any of you...

It will be good to know your grades or what grades you think you will get.

Certainly, UCL is good you should consider that.

Can you get ABB or AAB?

LSE is crap for straight maths(pure maths) so don't go their unless you want to do economics based. If you want to do something economics based then going for LSE would be best option.

QMUL and KCL pretty good.

Anyway, don't go on league tables as you will end up going to Chester.

I'm hoping to get AAB with AS Further Maths at around a grade B.

Queen Mary only wants a B but KCL wants an A. I heard QMUL has a great Maths department too... They are the ones that are fighting around in my head... Which would I want as a firm and which as insurance, pending on my grades that is.

Good grades if you can get them. Don't go to LSE.

I don't know why you have to go to just london uni's. Is it your parents that say so? I guess it will save money if you live in london. Anyway, if I was you I would go to Queen Mary instead of KCL. Yeah, the maths department seems really good.

London Met? :eek:

I live like five minutes away from it, and all I can say is do NOT go there. My brother went there and he says the teacher/lecturers cannot speak English properly.

You can easily get into QMUL, SOAS, RHUL, and City by getting ABB, I think. They are all alot beter than London Met.

There are so many unis in London better than London Met, and they include Westminster, Brunel and Middlesex.

I think King's is better on the whole, but not sure about the actual maths dept in each respective uni.

UCL is considered to be one of the good London universities, but nowadays they're asking for A*AA with the A* in Maths A Level.

Although personally, I don't enjoy it that much :frown:

I don't wanna sound snobby but I don't wanna go to a Polytechnic. QMUL would be ideal with my folks.

Does it have to be in London?

Some of the unis outside london are very good for Maths, without ridiculously high offers either - Durham, Bath, Bristol and the like are generally AAB-ABB offers.

Yeah, because isn't QMUL like bare close to you?

QMUL isn't that bad. Come out with a 2:1 at the minimum, and you'll be in a great position.
