Royal Holloway or Surrey for BSc Comp. Sci.

i! I'm in Y13 doing Maths, Physics & CS (very original, I know). I'm predicted A*A*A but I want to put an extra-safe application in case I get a B in Physics. The other unis I'm planning to apply for are:

- UCL
- King's
- Southampton
- Queen Mary
- [Either Royal Holloway or Surrey]

(I might replace UCL or Kings with Birmingham or Durham)

Which of the two do you think I should select? Thank you lot all in advance :smile:

I recommend you go to open days for these two, if you have not already, and look at what they offer in courses.
They are quite comparible, both with easy access to London. Royal Hollow has very beautiful grounds so quite rural feeling. Surrey has good employment records, a nice campus within easy walk of Guildford centre. It has an open day on the 2nd.

It really depend on what you prefer.

I've merged the two threads you've made.

Surrey has better grad prospects iirc, but if you're London based then RH may work out better?

Have you been to open days for both?
