is goldsmiths a good uni

I have an offer from them of abb, i thought they were a decent institution but the fact that lots of ppl havent heard of it worries me a little. It's part of the university of London so it cant be that bad, can it? !

Whar are your other UCAS choices/offers?

Goldmsiths as you say is part o f UNIVERSTY OF LONDON.

In 3 or 4 years time when you graduate and finally recieve that degree certificate it will say in University of London special paper

Goldsmiths College
UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

So you do afterall get a degree which is from the UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

However Imperial, LSE, UCL, SOAS, SOP and QCL are above Goldmsiths.

Decent but ABB sounds abit high for a Uni that's ranked 50-60 in the league table.

Maybe it's just the course. If you take the computing type courses, they want BCC.

The big + is that you get a UoL degree. Do employers know which UoL college you are from?

I think they will, as the word "Goldsmiths College" will be on the degree certificate. I think employers don't mind which UoL college you went to, as they are all good.

lol.

I have been accepted by Goldsmiths! It is also my first choice and is a good University which has a growing reputation! It has been voted the 'Coolest' University and being part of the University of London is a good thing! :biggrin:

When someone asked my Media teacher where they should apply to for Media, they immeadiately said Goldsmiths, so it must be decent.

birkbeck is the mature college

goldsmiths is *very* good for drama courses in the way that bournemouth is *very* good for media. it is however not great at a lot else. didn't orlando bloom go there?

Specifically yes. It has a reputation greater than its ranking in the times table would suggest - its quite well known as a bohemian kind of place. Also as part of the University of London you get a degree recognised the world over.

So is Royal Holloway! It's above QCL, Kings, SOAS and SOP too, by the way...

Edit: Actually I suppose it's equal to Kings. And it's quite hard to compare it to such a specialised place as SOAS.
