uni degree

[mazer]

Hi ive started looking at courses but i need help in choosing the right one. I want to do physics (research, space, planets etc) but i also want to do hands on work aswell like space tech and astronautical engineering...that sorta thing.

Anyone know any courses where they combine the two of these. Oh and preferbly in london plz aswell :)

Thanks

Could you please repeat that in English which would be acceptable to an admissions officer?

Try Imperial.

But learn to punctuate and use capital letters properly [I'm assuming you know what is the purpose of punctuation.]

Might be worth contacting this lot and getting some idea of useful courses for the sort of work you want to do.

A course in basic English literacy should be the first item on your list.
Sorry, but with presentation such as you have displayed here any application will go straight in the bin without even being read.

Well, yes, but...... Mazer isn't applying to AB for a place - he's asking a question in a relaxed idiom such as he might use with a friend. I've an idea he's not from these shores.

Here are some to start with....

Relaxed idiom? Is that another expression for laziness? So his or her friends are also illiterate? Not from these shores? American?

UCL, Queen Mary's College and Holloway College all offer Astrophysics, but you'll need to go further afield to for a cross-subject degree For example, Surrey offers Physics with Satellite Technology.

What's so important about London, anyway? I sincerely hope that it's not that you live there. As any good 6th form teacher, or college tutor, should advise their students, the unwritten golden rule for choosing a University is to ensure that it's at least 100 miles from home, so that Uni becomes an all-embracing experience and not just somewhere that you go to study.

Agree with Chris except I would say 200 miles.

shoota, I accept your argument but once you start writing in such a 'Relaxed 'manner in one situation it easily becomes habitual . Currently there are far more candidates than there are places available and someone with a 'relaxed' undisciplined approach stands no chance.
For mazer to be fair to him/her self he/she needs to adopt a disciplined approach from the start.

Chris I think its fine, I live in Bristol. Besides, London appeals because it has some of the worlds best universities and facilities.

[Buenchico]

Fair enough, Mazer.

I accept that ICL (for example) is a superb institution for studying Physics but other places, such as UMIST, still have no problems matching it. For the engineering side of things, places like Southampton are highly-praised.

Take a look through the UCAS listings (from my link) to see what's available and then look for some web-based info about life at that particular institution (including the important things, such as the cost of accommodation and the availability of a decent night-life). London is expensive and lacks the 'student feel' that cities like Manchester have. Please don't rule out universities outside London. (My own alma mater, Sheffield, offers 'Physics & Astrophysics' for example. It would be hard to find a more 'student friendly' city other, possibly, than somewhere like Liverpool).
