Warwick vs Birmingham (Computer Science)

warwick is much better for computer science in terms of job prosepcts it is a target school

As a current Warwick Computer Science student I'm biased but I would back up Warwick being a more rigorous course and having better job prospects. Absolutely no disrespect to Birmingham, in absolute terms its a very good course, but I think for this particular comparison Warwick do have the edge. Separately, I think its in very poor taste for unis to offer incentives to firm them. Finally, I wouldn't worry too much about statistics, if you can get your hands on previous years' data you'll see they fluctuate so much to be nearly useless.
PS: Do you have any other offers?

Thank you for your reply! I also have an offer from Southampton for MEng Computer Science and its 3 As. I plan to put it as my insurance.

Hello guys,
I have received offers from both Birmingham (for computer science with a year in industry) and Warwick (for computer science MEng). Both offers are A*AA but if I firm Birmingham, it becomes AAA.
Which one should I pick and please may I have reasons as to why?

Can I ask why you were offered a reduced offer for Birmingham if you made it your firm choice? Is it a contextual offer to do you have amazing predicted grades and GCSEs?

It was a contextual offer.

10000000% go to Warwick...Your opportunities will improve a lot more.
Being a CS applicant myself, I understand that your own skills matter more than the piece of paper you are going to receive after graduating but the first initial assessment will be your skills and your education (where you studied etc.).
Warwick will open doors to you more than Birmingham will and employers value Warwick CS far more than Birmingham. I would have applied there but it was between Edinburgh and Warwick for me and I went Edinburgh in the end because I liked the city far more and liked the AI focus.

People lie so much about Warwick.
Birmingham has the same research quality rating (94%) as Warwick for this subject. Graduate prospects in general and for doing something related to their course are higher at Birmingham for this subject. Source: www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk
Furthermore, employers will know that some people don't want to study at the 1960s generation of universities anyway.

Obsessing over small differences in made up metrics in league tables is a fools game, there's more noise than signal

Where is your evidence? Warwick is a relatively new university (being less than 60 years old) that only has research intensity of 59% whereas Birmingham has 63%. For all subjects on average, they each have a research quality rating of 86%. For this particular subject, they both have 94%. Regardless of average grades achieved by the average entrant, that is no reflection on the actual staff or on a student who could have got in either and I assure you that employers will often regard them as same category and will understand anyone not wanting to spend 3 or more years at somewhere that looks like a motorway service station.
