Score, 29 and 30! Although I did get into number 7 so perhaps I should have gone there...
Turned down Imperial for KCL! WTF!I still beat you because I was accepted at number 6 and went to 22 then went to 62
Hi there,
With that it's good to look at the rankings of departments, though. I saw LSE was 66th, and was like, ":|"... but then looking at the rankings for it's departments and it was 4th for social sciences... and it's the fact they're small for sciences which drags them down.
A minimum of a 2:1 BSc degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent experience e.g. Software, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, etc. Knowledge of C/C++ would be a distinct advantage.
In more positive news, the company I work for is still hiring graduates.
A bit too techy for most of the people in this thread but I thought I'd post it anyway. Closing date for applications is the 31st January 2009.
Oh, and let me know if you want to apply. Forward them your CV and put in a good word.![]()
"A bit too techy" pfft!
. When I tell people I went to Kings College in the UK they have no idea what it is.
The Times/Guardian university tables count for very little.
Indeed. Measures of universities are about as useful as IQ tests. Nevertheless, RAE is a pretty good measure.
So the main thing I should be looking at are entrance requirements? Are research quality and graduate prospects not important?
Problem is most of the world have never heard of any of those other than Oxford and Cambridge. Even LSE is ranked something like 70th in the world.
It's the same with US universities in the UK though, I can think of 4, Yale, Harvard, Princeton (and Brown, only because I watched The OC). Doesn't mean everything else is no good.
I was accepted conditionally for Warwick in engineering but decided I liked the course far more at Plymouth
Im on course for a first class masters in mechanical engineering and have over 360 UCAS points and am yet to find a job after 5 months of searching so far
Bad idea, go look at the actual uni, it may be a brilliant university but you may decide you hate the course or just not click, and fail/leave because of it. I was accepted conditionally for Warwick in engineering but decided I liked the course far more at Plymouth so came here, even if that meant I may not have got quite as "good" a job as going to Warwick.
