Hey folks,
As you'll know, we're into the 2020 application cycle now - so I thought it would be good to start an applicant thread for this year
Pure CompSci, or joint degree?
University choices:
What subject(s) are currently studying?:
Why CompSci?
Fun fact about yourself?
Want to ask a question to someone who's studying/studied the subject already? You can either tag me in this thread, or post your question here
You can also check out the UCAS Applications 2020 megathread >> Here

I'm applying for Maths and CompSci, and Maths for the ones that don't offer the joint course. So I probably shouldn't be in this thread, but it seemed kinda lonely and I do CompSci.
My choices are Oxford, Imperial (for both Maths, and Maths and CompSci), UCL and Bristol.
I study A-Level CompSci, Maths, and Further Maths. (and GCSE English Lit, English Lang, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Music, Business Studies, but that's another matter).
Ummmmm I'm not very fun, but I play the ukulele!
So yeah (:

If you're applying for CompSci, at least partially, you're more than welcome here!

Pure CompSci, or joint degree? Computer Science on it's own
University choices: Kings College London, Oxford Uni, Imperial College London, (kinda wanna stay in London but don't know what other uni's are good, any suggestions??)
What subject(s) are currently studying?: Maths, Physics, Computer Science
Why CompSci? Sounds bad but not entirely sure at this point but i enjoy finding out how the computer works behind the scenes
Fun fact about yourself? I basically don't have brain at this point in a-levels

Pure CompSci, or joint degree: Applying for straight CompSci and CompSci with Phil
University choices: Oxford, Imperial, St Andrews, Warwick and Leeds (as a vague guess)
What subject(s) are currently studying? Year 14 on a gap year. Studied Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science.
Why CompSci? Interesting and actually relevant
Fun fact about yourself? Last year got confused and applied for mechanical engineering by mistake
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on where I could find good mathsy computer science problems/puzzles. i've been looking all over the internet but haven't had much luck.

cyber discovery's pretty okay, it's not too hard but not ridiculously easy either.

What do you guys think about Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham? I'm applying for maths and computer science.
As I am not living in the UK right now, I can't visit the unis to see what they are like.
I've heard from other threads that Manchester is not very welcoming for international students, is that true?
I'm not sure what I want to do after graduating. I may consider future studies after graduating, doing research on maths or computer science, but I'm recently interested in starting my own tech company, so a school which has good research opportunities and connections to professionals in related fields would be nice.
Predicted grades A*(maths)AA

I'm applying for Pure CompSci at Warwick, Bath, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Nottingham.
I'm currently studying Maths, Physics and Computer Science.
Hmm, why compsci, I guess I just found it interesting in GCSE, and A-levels, so why not carry on with it?
And a fun fact... I quite like playing the guitar.

As a for instance, Keele University, Northumbria University, and Greenwich University all offer a BSc in Computer Science with no specific subject requirements at A-level

Sounds like a fab mix! I went to open days at Bath and Nottingham, and they both looked awesome

Pure CompSci, or joint degree?
I am looking to study a BSc Computer Science Degree
University choices:
Imperial, Warwick, Bath, UCL, Bristol
What subject(s) are currently studying?:
Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Technology:Product Design - Predicated grades are A*AA*A* respectively
Why CompSci?
I really love Computing, I have been programming for approximately 5 years and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. I have also developed online courses teaching others how to program. And I also love mathematics, especially the logical problem solving aspect of it.
Fun fact about yourself?
I have a YouTube channel called Tech Force where I actually share my passion for technology with the world and have been doing so for a few years
Does anyone know much about Bristol University for Computer Science? And are there any other universities aside from Oxbridge which are better than any of the universities I have chosen? Thanks guys and good luck with your applications!
