Hello, is computer science at Newcastle any good compared to other Universities like York and Edinburgh?
Hi - sorry you haven't had a response to this yet. I'm just going to bump the thread in the hope that someone sees this and can help :h:

Hi Regi,

Great to hear that you're thinking of studying with us!

We seek British Computer Science accreditation for our degrees so you can be assured that you will graduate with a degree that meets the standards of the industry. BCS is the Chartered Institute for IT and studying a BCS-accredited degree provides the foundation for a chartered IT professional, engineer or specialist. Our degrees are also available with an accredited paid work placement which provides you with practical experience and industry contacts.

We are also a Russell Group founding member, which means we are research intensive and are one of only eight Russell Group universities to achieve TEF Gold Award for teaching excellence.

Newcastle is a great place to live and study, with the benefits of having a campus university right on the doorstep of the City Centre. This means that you're only a few minutes walk from all of the restaurants, shops and bars in the city. Our metro train system makes it easy to get around, with a stop right outside campus and direct trains to Newcastle Central Train Station and the airport. We also have blue flag sandy beaches only 25 minutes away.

I'm sure you'll have heard of Newcastle's vibrant night life; Newcastle was voted 4th in the UK for social (The Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2018) and our Student's Union was voted 4th in the UK too (Student Barometer).

We have a range of student blogs on our website which may help you to get a good taste of what student life here is like: https://microsites.ncl.ac.uk/oncours...-our-students/

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any specific questions and good luck with whatever you decide!
