I've now narrowed down my uni course options to 9! Now what do I do? It looks like me and mum'll be having a few trips to the south coast and wales this summer aswell as 3 places in east anglia.
Anglia Ruskin (cambridge), UEA, Essex (colchester).
Bangor.
Plymouth x 3, Portsmouth and Brighton.
well it's a start, plus the one at essex is an intergrated masters course for 4 years . . .
But they do avry in entry requirements from 240 points to 360, from BBC to ABB/BBB

thats why they ahve red woollen gowns wolf - and useful to lending to Americans for their photos by the 18th and collect the tips - even got a £5 note when five was five (back in 1975 equiv to over 15 pints - in being a St Andraen, their motto is "The original home of the hangover").
More seriously, in my time as a scientist you studied three units in year one (given the practicals) and two in year two. You then have to sit year 2 exams (almost a part 1) and get 65% (average with the course grade equating to half and half from the exams) to get into Honours. I managed 80% on the course work (which got me a share of the year 1st Class Medal) and meant that I only needed 50% in the exam....which meant not having to do too much revision.
You then do 2 years specialism and it used to end in finals with a research project and a review paper - things on the exam front may have changed. I am not surprised it is an AAA rating as the Uni is considered in the UK top 5 now. Great social life but a lot of your own making - and as the town (and the Uni) is small it does not swamp you like some....

You will need to make sure that the statistics for graduates getting graduate jobs is relatively high.
You should check out www.unistats.direct.gov.uk to make sure that the quality of teaching if good and chances of getting a job afterwards.
Look to see if there are any accreditations to societies with any of the degrees, as this will also help you to find a job.
As far as I know, you are less like to find a job with a combined honours degree, that just a single.
Lastly make sure you read up on the degree and the jobs afterwards. Make sure it is DEFINITELY what you want to do, as a degree is hard going, and will really push you to the limit of whether you love what you want to do.
I have loved mental health for a long time, studied and research everything, even had a gap year and volunteered for respite care centres. Before making the decision to study BSc Psychology.
But even I have found it a struggle to keep my passion alive with what I want to do.
I couldn't imagine how someone doing a management or accounting degree could get by. They really must love it!

I've written this before but I believe that it's worth repeating:
University shouldn't just be about learning. It should be an all-embracing experience (including the social life!). If you go to any of the three East Anglian universities, you'll either still be living at home (a possibility with UEA) or under parental pressure to go home every weekend. That would mean that you'd miss out on some of the best times at uni.
Rule out the local centres of study. Head further afield and then, instead of being under pressure to go home at weekends, encourage your parents to come and visit you and your friends from time to time.
That's exactly the same advice that I gave to all the sixth form students I taught, and I've often been thanked for it.

Portsmouth would fulfil your sailing interest with lots of Navy bases to explore, in your free time, ofcourse.

My son's applying to Essex - went andf looked around last year.
Nice campus - accomodation is mixed between some nice modern shared houses and some older high rise blocks - ugly but functional and close to the centre of the University - apparently some can be a bit noisy - obviously cheaper.
Might vary from course to course but I think Essex is good with years out in industry.
If you get a chance to do that grab it with both hands and don't let go it makes a real differeence in getting a job if you can sit there and talk about the practical experience you've had

I've slightly unnarrowed it down, i found a course at Aberdeen that I'd put in the wrong folder in my favourites.
My biology teacher asked me if I'd looked at st Andrews . . . this is the bio teacher that's nicer and has more faith in me, not the one that predicted me a D!
But she said, that she wouldn't apply to a uni that was less than 200 miles from home.
Bangor is only 1-2 hours from my brother and Essex (colchester) is less than an hour from my newly found neice.
PS I'd typed this up but then I got error messages so hopefully i typed everything i meant to.
