Hi @Unister,
These are some great choices for university. I would recommend looki ng at the league tables to compare them and see which one is better. For many tables, you can even filter by subject to specifically focus on the ranking within maths. The main tables include The Complete University Guide, The Guardian and The Times. It is also worth considering what area of maths you are most interested in (pure, statistics, decision, etc.) as each university will have a different range of modules, which may be focused towards a certain area. Looking at the the different courses and modules the universities provide may sway you towards certain universities over others that you are interested. As a final note, it is important to look at entry requirements as some universities, such as Southampton, do not require Further Maths to study maths with them, while other will. Additionallt, places like King's College will have higher required grades as they are an othen more sought after University.

Hope this gives you some directions to consider
