KCL vs Southampton vs Bristol

Hi everyone. I have offers from these three universities for Computer Science - and applications to Cam and Imperial but after TMUA, they both look quite unlikely- and I'm leaning heavily towards KCL. What do you think would be the best, especially for graduate job prospects?

All of those are really good options. I would check out the modules and see which one looks most interesting to you and also consider the cities and which one you would feel most happy to live in.
Go on offer holder days when they are offered to help you guage the department.

As above, look at the modules, do your research on grad prospects and get a feel for the places by going to offer holder days.

Hi, congratulations on your offers!

As others have mentioned, I would check the module information for each of the different courses, the Southampton computer science modules can be found here! It is also important to think about location and other opportunities the universities offer such as societies.
You may find university rankings, as well looking at student satisfaction to be helpful when picking universities.

I hope this can be helpful, I think the University of Southampton is a great university, with great career support and opportunities.

Amazing, has KCL /Bristol started giving offers for CS ? When did you receive your offers ? If you don’t mind me asking what re your predictions ?

Hi, I was an early applicant as I applied to Cambridge and i'm predicted 4A* - maths, further maths, comp sci and spanish. Kcl got back to me late November and then Bristol was the middle of December. Good luck if you're applying for this year!
