    Default Where to do computing?

    I'm looking to do Computing at Uni a year from September and around now I have to decide where I want to go and I thought where better to ask than HabboxForum's technology forum.

    My grades are in the AAB-ABB range so I'm looking for something of that standard but I have no idea where to start. Does anyone know where is good to go?

    I'm presuming you are thinking of English universities, I've heard that Durham is pretty nice and so is Southampton. However, if you are looking to go a bit further afield, Glasgow seems very good for Computing.

    n.b - the english universities are suggestions from a friend, and based on the Comp. Sci course

    It may seem a little far fetched, I live in Derby, and derby university is extremely good for technology with degree's that link with Microsoft and other big companies.

    Take a look =] I recommend it!

    You can use the UCAS course search - can search by subject, course type, full-time or sandwich, what region(s) ect.

    Its not, English students get half price in Scottish universities because I was going to go to one! Their tuition fees are slashed in half from the price you have to pay in England and Wales. Trust me on that one.

    I'd go to a Scottish Uni if I had the choice... which I did, but the uni just wasn't up to what I wanted so I had to go England, which had its benefits tbh. Weigh up the pros and cons, but going Scotland for me was because of the half price tuition fees, that was so tempting. I have friends going to UWE, not sure what courses but I know it's got a good reputation of Computing and IT.

    I'd try Staffordshire too (one I'm going too), one of the campuses is basically dedicated towards computing and IT, plus the media and music groups. It's a pretty good uni imo, campus and town is quite nice too, central to the country, check it out.

    Oh and btw, do a Sandwich course, they're better for IT.

    Thanks for the help! My Tutor told me that to go to a Scottish Uni I would have to pay a lot more because the Council don't pay part of your fee like they do in England and Wales so I'd have to pay £30,000 or something. I'll quiz her on that next week, I'm sure she's wrong.

    She's sort of wrong but not? You get half price tuition fees and you apply through Student Finance England like anybody else. The only exception is that you may not be granted a bursary or scholarship thing which you could be entitled for in England. You gotta weigh up which is cheaper.
