Someone told me these Unis are the best to apply for Computer Science (CS) in 2025

Hello, I'm a 13 year old international student currently studying in the UK. My predictions from last year are A*A* A (A in Compsci, A* in Maths and Further Maths).
I was thinking about getting into these Unis, but I gotta ask the people on here cause I know you guys have a lot more experience than me, so please take a look:
- UCL
- Bristol
- Sheffield
- Bath
- KCL

Thanks again!

Do you mean year 13?

All of them are competitive, have you considered picking one safer option?

Sounds good. Sheffield/Southampton are good but not extremely competitive so you should be fine :smile:

Hiya there,

Wow, what a fab set of predicted grades you have! You must have put in a lot of hard work to get them 🙂

Great to hear you're considering Bath as one of your options! I did not study computer science here but psychology, but nevertheless I personally absolutely loved my time at Bath. The city is gorgeous, cosy and the second safest in the country with a lot packed into its small size. The uni itself I also find welcoming, very diverse and the teaching here is excellent.

Bath also have one of the best industrial placement schemes in the country, where you take a year to work in industry or research. It really makes you stand out from other graduates in the job market and is also a lot of fun to do as an experience! I'd definitely look into whether this option is available in some of your other choices as it is a fab thing to have if its right for you.

Agree with the advice above that perhaps choosing an insurance uni with 1-2 grades below your predicted A*A*A just in case things don't go your way on results day.

Best of luck and please let us know any questions!!!
