In what order would you ranked the following Universities (+ Lot's of Uni questions)?

Never a truer word spoken. You will also go into your 3rd year better prepared, and it is a chance to get some cash.
Gonna write this quickly, but look at the next 5 years.
Give or take,
You have a choice of:

B - Study, study, study, job, job --> more jobs
or
A - Study, study, job, study, job --> more jobs

Up the scale, you see you will only ever do more jobs, it's
never
gonna change, so with tough economic times (I'm back on dial-up),
let those money shaped storm clouds ride themselves out and
you just get some experience,
down go the payments on that speedboat you've been eyeing up. :cool:

Another thing is that you may realise that you want to change your direction with regards to the jobs you look for, which is going to be hugely beneficial when you leave and need a job. There are so many more positives. At the end of the day, you are going to university as a pathway to the working world, so utilise it and increase your chances as much as you can.

I didn't think it was such a big problem. The moderator have merge all the thread into one now. So, I assume it's fine now?

theres nothing wrong with a big OP. edit your questions in to the OP and we'll be happy to answer them if we can :)

if you're going for the machine learning thing that someone else mentioned then reading could be a good bet, but if its plain computer science then a lot of the Uni's you've listed are certainly as good as reading, if not a bit better
 
It's so depressing seeing people ask about the correlation between courses and future earnings. Enter a field you like, and do it because it challenges you and you enjoy it. Don't do it for the money.

Indeed, or you will do a terrible undergraduate degree like law *shudder*.

The secret is to study something interesting, then sell your soul and convert to law later on.

No, you can post as many as you like in here. :p There's no limit on questions, it's just that posting many threads on a similar topic at the same time will annoy some members.

Is a MSc regarded as better then doing an MEng/MSci?

Is a MSc regarded as better then doing an MEng/MSci?

You can do

MEng/MSci - 4 years
BSc/BEng then MSc 4 years

Is the work more advanced in MSc then the 4th year of MEng/MSci? I believe that MSc are 12 months, while the 4th year of MEng/MSci are 9 months (ends in June).

If you can do the 4th year of MEng/MSci for free, why waste for example £3466+ to do a MSc , you get 3 months of extra teaching. But if you can get a job after your MEng/MSci, that's 3 months of wages you could be earning. I suppose you can experience living in another city doing a MSc.

Would you argue that a BSc is better then a MSci/MEng or BSc then MSc, as you can earn a salary for the year your doing your MSci/MEng or BSc then MSc. Do people earn more money after doing a 4th year or doing an MSc?

There are many options

BSc - 3 year
BSc with placement - 4 years
MEng/MSci with placement - 5 years
MEng/MSci - 4 years
BSc + MSc - 4 years

Can you do a MSc after a MEng? I don't think so. So I guess that's all the possible options.

Which do you think is the best option?
 
Your university timetable

I am interested to know what people's timetable at University is like for those who do computer science

What level? BSc, BA, MSc etc
What year? 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc
Which University?
Name of degree?
Timetable? Any days off? Half day Wednesday?
Contact time? How many hours at University?
What time you leave University to go halls or home?
Time you wake up?
How long does it take to get to University?
Which day you do food shopping and laundry? or you just go when you feel like it? How long does it take you?

Thanks

This is a good point... In my post, I only spoke about the employment opportunity, but the overriding reason you are going to university has to be that you want to become more skillful.

I want to become the very best. Like no one ever was. To catch themwaitno, I'm going to art uni to hone my skills. For 4 years I shall sharpen my blade and stalk my prey, whence, I shall be unleashed upon the world.

I often reread a post and wonder who wrote it. Not this time though. In all seriousness, would you like me to draw a diagram consisting of time spent doing various tasks, enjoyment factor, cost to enjoyment factor benefit ratio, breakfast routine, general dorm room air density readings? I have a compendium of smells which contains some great trivia on the varying culinary methods of inter-racial dorms and consequent abundance of exotic food. I could draw a picture of my desk?

I should really go to bed.

OP, are you just curious or are you intending to use the information to help form a decision? Because if it's the latter then you know alarmingly little about what you're (not) planning to do.

Depends what your job is etc...

Supposing you're interested in Banking IT.. (tis pretty dire but some people enjoy it) you might well be better off sticking to a summer internship or two

A study, study, 20k(intern), study, 37k(1st year analyst)
B study, study+(summer internship), study, 35k(1st year analyst), 45k(2nd year analyst)

etc...

(the point I'm making is that for some people, if you can get a summer internship and are near the top of your year then you might well be better off just finishing and getting into the job.)
 
Soton ecs department is fantastic, you need to see for yourself.
Maybe imperial #1 but I always think are a bit generous when ranking it, the grade requirements are a bit too high imo.

What??? Manchesters residences are on oxford road or in fallowfield mainly, all perfectly fine areas.

Imperial
York
Sheffield/Manchester
Southampton
Reading/Kent

Taking into account CS courses form what i've heard, and adding in the city itself as a partial factor

Sorry didn't mean residences as in halls of residence. Most manchester Uni 2nd/3rd year accommodation is around moss side
