RHUL, Bangor or University of Kent for Electronic engineering.

Hello there!
Unfortunately, this year I found myself in a poor position due to awful grades. Although I still have a reasonably good choices. I would like to study Electronic engineering but I am a bit confused with choices.
The main choices are:
Bangor University, Royal Holloway and University of Kent (Canterbury).
As I know, Royall Holloway has Superfab facilities and seems to be highly capable in terms of semiconductors (this is my major interest I would say). On the other hand, Kent and Bangor do not have such facility. Nevertheless, I can see that Kent has other engineering degrees and has mechanical engineering equipment (drills and milling machines), while I was not able to find any information about that type of equipment in Royal Holloway.
Can anyone give advice on course structure or general experience from those universities.
Thanks for your support!)

Hi @Maxxutko

I am sorry to hear about your issues with your grades. Sadly sometimes negative things happen but it is always important to keep your head high and try to progress and improve! I sadly cannot comment on the facilities that Bangor has or how the student experience is, but I can comment for Kent!

When I was picking my university of choice I went on a open day at Kent which provided me with insight into the course structure that I was doing in Kent Business School and I saw the student experience, which left me greatly impressed.

The course structure typically has you doing 8 core modules in the first 2 years, with the second year having you do more optional modules of your choosing. You need to receive 120 credits to pass so typically 8 modules is the norm for all years I believe. If you are further interested look here: https://www.kent.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/apply/how-courses-work#:~:text=Programmes%20at%20Kent%20are%20divided,choice%2C%20particularly%20at%20Stage%201.

In addition to this, the general experience can prove to be diverse and unique; with there being a ton of opportunities to get involved.

If you choose to stay on campus, there is the Venue which acts like a club of sorts for all students, along with a ton of food facilities like Hut 8 and even bars like Woody's in Parkwood. Additionally, there are always societies to get involved in and a beautiful campus to explore!

I hope some of this information. I have also attached some possibly interesting links below
