computer science uni offer decisions

Hello!

I have recieved offers from Southampton, Birmingham, York, and Exeter for computer science, and am having a little trouble deciding which offers to choose. If anyone has any useful advice or knows anything about CS in one of those unis that would be great! thank you.

Out of Southampton and Birmingham, I would prefer Southampton. Had visited offer day of both the Unis. Whilst Birmingham was good but found Southampton much better in terms of Infrastructure. Don't know about other two.

I would also prefer Southampton, and really liked the course content. I didn’t apply to Birmingham but I can say that Southampton was really good across the board.

Hi @mags9191,

Ultimately, it is difficult for anybody to say which the best universities are, as this would really depend on the factors that are important to you. I would recommend thinking about what factors are most important to you personally and weighing them up on those factors. For example, you might value being able to visit your family in X amount of time, having a specific module included on the course, or certain types of student support.

You might find our computer science study guide helpful too - https://bit.ly/3TrrFLd. This explores how to prepare for a computer science degree, career prospects, salary expectations and more 😊 I think it would be a helpful read, regardless of which offer you decide to go with!

I hope that this helps. Good luck!

Becky
