Official Computer Science 2025 Applicant Thread
The Official Computer Science 2025 Entry Thread
Hi
This is the thread for people who are thinking of applying to University for Computer Science for 2025!
Meet and chat to other people applying for a Computer Science degree.
Here are a few suggested opening questions, but ask whatever you want regarding Languages at University.
1) What A Levels are you doing (or other eligible qualifications)? Are you applying for Postgraduate or Undergraduate?
2) What universities do you have your eyes on? And why?
3) What grades did you get/are you predicted to get at GCSE and Sixth Form?
4) Why Computer Science specifically? What Computer Science course are you applying for?
5) Which admissions tests do you have to sit if any, and when will you start preparing for them?
6) Will you be attending any Open Days?
7) How are you feeling about starting University?
8) Other courses you're interested in?
You can find a directory linking to all of the other university applicant threads here.

Hello everyone! This is a bit about me:
1) A Levels: Computer Science, Psychology, Mathematics, Further Mathematics + CyberEPQ & A2/B1 DELE Spanish Qualification. I'm applying for Undergraduate.
2) I dont really know right now for final choices. Still not sure to be honest, I'm having a bit of an existential crisis about the worth of degrees, how 2.1 and firsts aren't seen the same as before, and the meaning of life 😅
3) GCSEs: 9999999998A
A Levels: x4s A*s (predicted) + A* in CyberEPQ (achieved) & Spanish grade (A2)
4) Why Computer Science specifically? - I've had a thing for the subject since Y7 but it never really clicked how much I enjoyed it until I got to Y9/Y10. I always like to think how the different bits of theory are combined together when I'm using a smart device or computer system.
My options are/were:
Computer Science and Philosophy - Oxford (rejection) & UCL (offer)
Computer Science specialising in Cybersecurity - Lancaster (offer), Southampton (offer) & Imperial
5) I sat MAT for Oxford & TMUA for Imperial
6) I attended Open Days for Oxford and Southampton; hoping to see the rest of my uni choices at some point because I am unsure right now
7) Kinda nervous but also excited as well about the different possibilities and meeting new people as well
Does anyone know what UCL is like in terms of the Computer Science and Philosophy departments? It seems alright, minus the slight efficiency and time management issues

Hello,
Lancaster is still in clearing with Computer Science places at https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/clearing/
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer as a Computer Science student who came here via clearing last year!
I am having a good time so far and would recommend the course and our great computer labs.
Hope I can help,
Zak - Lancaster University Student Ambassador
