Dropping out of university and starting again

Hello,

Would it be worth dropping out of first year at a low ranked university (700~ on QS) and starting again this September at a higher ranked university (350~ on QS)?

In terms of employability, opportunities etc would it be worth it?

I'm currently studying Computer Science and not planning on changing my degree.

Do you have the grades to make that a realistic move ? A higher ranked course is going to want you to meet all the usual entry requirements. They may also want to see you complete your current 1st year with a good mark. Have you read the TSR transfer FAQ?

wht are the subject rankings like though ?

Hi there

Where are you thinking of moving to? I think that Computer Science is a very sort out degree so ranking may not be as important as you think. However, if you have a particular university in mind, do you meet their entry requirements?

Hello,

I was thinking of moving to Kent for Computer Science starting at year 1 again.

I currently have an unconditional offer from them as I applied earlier in the year.

Congratulations on the unconditional offer! I have a friend that moved to Cardiff after having his first year at the University of Birmingham. He didn't have to retake the year - have you asked about this?
