Cardiff or Warwick?

I’ve done a year of compsci at Cardiff and reapplied early in the year because I didn’t like it, only to start kinda liking it at the end. I got rejected from Warwick for cybersecurity in March only to get a message in July telling me they made an error and I can get into early clearing. I already hold offers from Birmingham and Bristol for compsci, which I’d have to decline to go into Warwick clearing. Is it worth switching to Warwick for my bachelors or should I just do my postgrad in cybersecurity there??????

early clearing has a deadline of july 25th so any help would be much much appreciated

What do you want to do afterwards? That is the main question to ask. If the answer is cybersecurity then start doing some research on the skills required to go into that industry. I think you will be surprised. I went to a panel interview about it a year or so ago and the panel consisted of law, philosophy, computing and English grads. Cyber security tends to be less technical and more about policies, procedures and training for human beings who ultimately are the main reason for cyber break ins.

Good luck!
