Best university for computer science

[Vidar]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to work out which university is the best for me to apply for, I've been thinking about the University of Liverpool as I know it's one of the top universities however I know that where you get your degree can be very important.

I'm getting strong grades, am in my first year of Level 3 Btec in ICT and already predicted to get Distinction, Distinction, Distinction and an A in GCSE maths resit.

With that in mind which is the top university for computer science?

Thanks guys,

Oh just an FYI (although it might have changed in the last few years) the top universities usually only take students with A levels rather than a BTEC.

I am worried about that but unfortunatley the only college in my area does not offer A-level IT... and the next alternative is about 2hrs from here plus if I manage to get my A I've been informed that this should be sufficient

Well I went in to college and found the independent careers advisor to ask about my options...

As it turns out being 28 I'm going to struggle far to much to get a college to teach me a-levels and if I do I will have to pay through the nose as there is no funding for that for adults....

I have been told to keep on at this course getting my distinctions, do a maths GCSE resit to get atleast a B and go to the best uni I can get into with those, then go and do my masters with Cambridge or other top university!

Do you guys think this could be the correct advice for me?
