Russell Group certainly isn’t everything, Bath is pretty damn good for STEM courses.

What are your predcited grades? The usual recomendation is :
1 'risky' choice - just above your predicted grades - one grade and not in a vital subject
2 or 3 - at your predicted grades
1 or 2 - below your predicted grade

And yes, RG means nothing important - there are many excellent CS departments at other Unis, and 'RG' doesnt guarentee you will like the course or enjoy being at that Uni

Surrey?
I'm looking at doing Computer Science with AI at Uni next year and hadn't heard anything about Surrey even though I'm less than a 10 minute walk from the Campus. I guess I just hadn't even thought about it.

Those look like very good choices - just remember that any Uni asking for A* will be very competitive and dropping S'ton and having both Surrey and QMUL might be worthwhile.

I applied many jobs and they are exactly looking oxbridge graduates if they can not find oxbridge graduates they are looking russell group universities.There are a lot of recruiters some recruiters don't look at russell group universities for example computer futures,arrow group etc..
