Holly R Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've applied to do sociology at Exeter, Cardiff, Lancaster, Brunel and Kingston university, and I've had the following replies (so far): Exeter - 30 points (conditional) Cardiff - no reply as of yet Lancaster - conditional - don't know the points yet Brunel - 30 points (conditional) Kingston - 24 points with 5 in English (conditional) My predicted grades: English HL - 7 Film HL - 5 Physics HL - 6 Maths - 5 Business - 5 Italian - 5 ToK - 3 Which makes 36 but I might be overestimating myself it's probably more like 34, which is what was sent off to the universities. I was just wondering if anybody had any opinion of what the best uni would be - I think I prefer the course at Exeter but I'm open minded If anyone is at uni, studying sociology - even better if you're studying at one of the ones above - I would love for some feedback Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 based on this http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/table/2011/may/17/university-guide-sociology ranking table, Lancaster is better than Exeter for Sociology. then come Cardiff, Brunel and Kingston but they're very low in the list, so I suggest to choose Lancaster and Exeter as your firm and insurance choices (in any order). I suggest that you consider looking at the accommodation, course content, clubs, etc before choosing which is your firm and which is your insurance. good luck!!

~Lc~ Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Don't worry about the ranking tables so much though! try to look at the course content to make sure you would like it.I did some moddules in the sociology department at Loughborough and I have to say it's very good and it's ranked 15.Good luck with your studies! keep focused.And don't worry so much I take it with the rise in fees there will be less competition.
