Warwick or UCL for Maths: current students&#x27; experiences.

Original post by Prepotency

Well, Warwick did score a perfect 100.00 score for employment in the QS World University Rankings (and got voted the most targeted university in the UK by the top employers) and got ranked the 3rd best 'under 50 year old' university in the world.

So it doesn't do too badly...

PS: I'm firming Warwick :tongue:

Its not doing to badly. Its actually doing very well in Maths. But as far as I know thats about it. When you consider it on the whole, worldwide on a general list. Its usually in the early 100s. Whilst UCL is atleast top 25 even top 5 in some. If you plan to stay in the UK then its good. I'm not sure about working abroad though.

My experience with the UCL Maths Department is very good. Although I've only had 1-2 modules.

Very happy to meet up outside of lectures and help you out or I often scanned my working and emailed it and they'd provide feedback.

Well because I realised that I really really really would like get into academia as a mathematician, although UCL isn't bad, Warwick's greater module choice will allow me to learn more maths than I would maybe get to learn at UCL and since its a hard course, it should really challenge me and help me improve as a mathematician. SO I chose Warwick purely for the maths disregarding everything else.

I can attest to what the other guy said about the UCL department. They are really great, after the offer holders open day, I emailed one of the lecturers about his mini introductory lecture just asking a question and answering a question he kind set for us to think, he replied back lengthily and gave me another problem etc and gave me his email if I ever wanted to talk to him about whatever, which I thought was really awesome considering I'm not even a student at UCL!

I'm sure that Warwick is great if you want to go into further study. Good news about UCL's maths department, I was worried about it since there isn't much information online as to past students' experiences but I am confident that I made the right choice now.

Part of what dissuaded me from firming Warwick was that I live in the town of Warwick, and don't really want to spend my uni years basically at home pretty much ^^.

Very few students go to Warwick town more than once, if ever!

I was more talking about how I've seen almost all of the surrounding areas already, so not much would be new in that regard.
