Applying late to university (June)?

It was a bit of a debated topic whether I would apply to uni however, I am but struggling with choices!

I'm looking for Data science/ CS/Information Technology courses that also have a decent university (ofc expecting a good environment, in London etc).

Does anyone have any tips to narrow it down/ find good ones or even share their experiences? I would really appreciate it!

Without knowing much detail, like subjects and predicted grades, here are a few suggestions for Computer Science:

Imperial College
Warwick University
University of York
Bristol University
Kings College
Royal Holloway

A note about studying in London. Accommodation can be prohibitively expensive (£300-£500pw) and so is going out. You may get a better university experience in a different city.

Thank you. My UCAS points are 120.

I don’t have to take accomodation into consideration as I live here thankfully so I'm focused on the best choices I can likely get into hopefully. :smile:

Cool. Look at the university websites, the course pages will tell you the entry requirements for each subject (including any specific A levels, e.g. Maths etc). Go through all the London ones and apply to the ones you can. (Imperial is usually 168 UCAS points but others will vary.)

You can also contact admissions or the university department.

Good luck.
