Best uni for foundation year Engineering? Swansea, Cardiff or Southampton...

Il be applying to do a foundation year engineering, just wondering which unis offer good courses. Predicted A*AA, I'm doing physics, product design and geography, however not maths so hence the foundation year. I like the fact that Cardiff still require AAB for the foundation, whereas Swansea ask for much lower grades? But I do also like the look of swanseas campus... I've heard southhampton offers a good foundation year also? Thanks

where did u apply?
I'm an Engineering student. Of those Swansea or Southampton are the better options. Southampton is a russel group university. Cardiff Engineering department is a bit cut off from the rest of the University, as it isn't in the main campus area.
Also consider which area of engineering you would like to specialise in. Southampton ranks highly for all, its variable for the other two.
I completed the foundation year in Southampton last year and the quality of lecturers and help that your given is pretty much spot on for the first year of my course this year!
