The 'Uni Choices' Thread for 2015 Entry!

We have finished our AS levels, some A2 students are applying for deferred entry. So, seeing how exams went, I believe we must have a pretty accurate idea of what we want to study, and where?
Simply list where and what you want to study and that's it!
I'll start off myself.

Courses
Chemical Engineering - Imperial College
Chemical Engineering - University of Birmingham
Engineering (Chemical) - UCL
Chemical Engineering (via Natural Sciences) - Cambridge University
Chemical Engineering - University of Manchester

IGCSE results
7 A*s, 2 As and 1 B

AS Levels
Maths (CIE) (C1, C2, S1) - A
Chemistry (CIE) - A
Physics (CIE) - A
Applied ICT (CIE) (self-taught) - A
English (CIE) - B

A2
Maths (CIE) (C3, C4, S2) - Predicted A*
Chemistry (CIE) - Predicted A*
Physics (CIE) - Predicted A*
Further Maths (CIE) - Predicted A (self-taught)


*University Connect is also really useful for finding other people applying to the same uni as you or the same courses!*

There are already threads for this, definitely for Oxford and Cambridge. You may want to look at them?

Not looking at University specific threads! Just state which 5 you want to go to, not individual forums for each. I am actually in both those forums :P

I'll add my (possible) choices.

Oooh! Cool :biggrin:
Economics, Poltics and a International Studies (one year abroad hopefully)

I'm realistically expecting AAB at the end of A2, but God knows what my results will be like regarding the exams this year :erm:

I'm hoping to apply to
- Exeter, almost definitely
- Bath
- Southampton
- maybe Lancaster as a fall back
- not sure about my fifth option :/

Not many uni's do my course :cry2:

Computer Science (might go for Software Engineering but we'll see about that)
at:
Nottingham
Queen Mary's
King's College
UCL
Cambridge/Oxford (still undecided, however, Oxford seems to be more lenient towards applicants without FM, as it's not offered in my school and I'm just self-teaching at As)

Computer Science is a great choice. I'm just about to start my placement year with SAP in Belfast in July. I recently finished my 2nd year at the University of Ulster Jordanstown campus.
USA student here.

Well, it's really just opened my eyes because I didn't really know anything about programming at all, last summer I made my own app called Student Budget which has nearly got 3,000 downloads on the Google Play Store :smile:

I'm not sure of your background, perhaps you did programming in secondary school but I did none and once I started my course and started doing some Java, I was like "yeah I could do this for a daily job, doesn't seem too bad".

One of the things I like about computing is that during your career, you can be switching between working with the newest technologies if you wish or if you want, such as wearable devices such as Google glass, Android Wear, etc or you can just stick to mobile apps or desktop applications or whatever :smile:
Computer Science or Mathematics, still can't decide
