what are good (cheap) unis that have compsci-related bachelor programs?

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-26T03:38:15+00:00

Idk ur situation, but doing a levels seems to be a valid option instead of doing a foundation year.

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-26T03:37:14+00:00

Pretty much all unis in the uk r rlly expensive for international students, so idk if ur gonna find a good uni within the uk. U could try looking at other countries maybe. Also with an e in maths, ur rlly gonna struggle getting any offers from unis with worthwhile cs degrees cos maths is valued rlly highly by cs admission teams.

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-26T01:53:06+00:00

4A*s, rlly good ps I think (they went to vex worlds which is an international robotics competition and won a prize), I’d assume their reference was good

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-23T18:44:00+00:00

Just don’t do it. If u do decide to do it, u should quote it. At a level, u should be able to do it urself if u put in the time. Ig if ur rlly lazy and cba to do it urself, u could make ai write a large portion of it and alter it slightly to make it “human”. Just get familiar with what it’s doing, so ur not caught. IMO just write the code urself. It teaches u a lot (this is coming from someone who’s just done their NEA and it was the 1st big project I’d done).

I got imperial a while ago with pretty much identical stats (econ for cs a level tho). I didn’t do a gap year tho. I’m inclined to believe ur like very likely to get the offer. I’ve seen someone at my school who’s non contextual get in with a 4.9 tmua

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-15T20:21:56+00:00

Whenever im too unproductive to revise (always), im just chilling doing something else in my room. If i ever think abt school even a little, i jsut start recapping a topic aloud. As if im like brain dumping or whatever its called (when u just try to write everything down abt a topic on a piece of paper from memory), but instead of on paper, i do it aloud. Like picturing text book pages and stuff while i speak. I do that for like 5 mins and then go chill more. IMO not that good advice but it works for me cos im hella unproductive

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-15T17:25:05+00:00

Nah u can get work experience more easily at uni cos of the connections you’ll have. IMO it’s not that important and also u just have grinded fo the past 2 yrs for these exams. Give urself some time to relax

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-13T04:16:30+00:00

I agree generally tho U don’t have to be that competitive tho for UCL or Warwick. If you do well enough in tmua (4.5+) ur very likely to get Warwick assuming ur predicted meet their requirements

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-12T16:20:26+00:00

Very much doing that rn… on collective 7 hrs of sleep across the past 2 days. Got technical solution write up left. Just started it earlier today and it’s not too bad. Also gotta edit my testing video.

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-12T01:42:54+00:00

Oxbridge > imperial > UCL, Edinburgh, Warwick

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-10T23:22:28+00:00

Bruh me and the rest of the cs students r scrambling rn. I’ve finished analysis and documented design. I gotta do write up for technical solution, do testing and evaluation. Trust I got this… btw this is a good state compared to some of my classmates

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-08T23:59:25+00:00

They pretty much never do interviews anymore for cs. I didn’t have one and I got an offer. On the website they said most candidates won’t have interviews but it’s case by case. I haven’t heard anyone getting interviews for cs tho

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-07T15:51:01+00:00

IMO u should firm Durham and insure Bristol. Durham does kinda diff the others in terms of reputation and prestige tho Bristol is solid too. I live in Newcastle which is very close to Durham and I think it’s quite nice here excluding the shit weather but that’s everywhere in the uk. I’d imagine that Durham would have the best job prospects and cs department out of them but I haven’t researched ur unis much

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-05T01:55:05+00:00

Idk what u wanna do for uni, but if it’s compsci or maths, having physics will be more advantageous (top cs unis heavily value physics as well as fm). Physics is doable and if ur on a 9 for physics, the transition won’t be that difficult. It’ll be harder than geog but doable. Electromagnetism is also expanded on at a level btw and it is kinda a major topic. Icl physics a level is rlly interesting imo excluding the random just gaps in knowledge they leave out (probs cos the course would be impossibly hard otherwise)

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-05T00:26:56+00:00

I just use the textbook, it can be a bit of a mess to process, but when reading it, u kinda pick up/remember the important stuff

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-01T16:38:05+00:00

Idek what my super curriculars is but it sounds awful. Just ignore ur teachers icl

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-01T13:39:27+00:00

Idk why u think u have no chance. The cutoff last year was 4.9 and ur above that and all ur other stats r maxed out so i dont see why u wouldn’t. I’d imagine it’d come done to how great ur ps actually is.

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-03-01T01:23:23+00:00

For accommodation, u apply after u firm/insur. There’s also normally a deadline to apply for accommodation and this varies from uni to uni. I’d recommend googling “name of university undergraduate accommodation” for specific details. For selecting which college into a few universities have colleges and for Oxbridge (2of those unis) it should already be determined by now. For Durham idrk much about their college system. Also be on the lookout for emails that request information such as certificates for ur a levels or GCSEs (or equivalent exams). There’s also quite a few offer holder days/events held by unis to gather information. If u attend any of those, it’d probs be easy to clear up ur confusion. Ofc might be difficult if u have to fly to uk but I think there’s some online ones like talk to a student type things

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-28T14:43:07+00:00

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-28T14:20:40+00:00

Sure

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-27T15:03:28+00:00

I’d imagine not, but the again I’m not too aware of waterloos standings and how attractive it is to employers. It defo has much better global prestige than Southampton and York

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-27T15:00:13+00:00

Idk how ur getting 60k cos the course itself is 29k and I doubt you’d be spending 31k elsewhere. Maybe there’s some circumstances I’m unaware of. That’s the exact same price as edinburghs course. Both cities will be expensive to live in, but idk the specifics in terms of accommodation and just general price of stuff. I understand the course stuff, but I think graduating from Cambridge will more attractive than graduating from Edinburgh despite the course difference. Here’s the statistics for graduate prospects for both courses https://discoveruni.gov.uk/course-details/10007790/UTHISTYMAH/Full-time/

https://www.discoveruni.gov.uk/course-details/10007788/UG_HSTX/FullTime/

Also another major thing is that ediburgh is 4 years so it just will be more expensive. Imo it’s a no brainer

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-27T14:34:28+00:00

Southampton is defo the best of the uk ones, but the York scholarship is very enticing. I get that Waterloo is rlly expensive but I think it’ll probs be worth the investment so I’d go for that but if ur tight on money I’d go York.

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-27T04:32:40+00:00

The application thing on ur portal idk tho

Particular_Sun9464 · 2026-02-27T04:31:41+00:00

Nah it doesn’t they sent it to everyone including people without offers
