Cambridge is pretty impressive and needless to say, one of (probably the) best university for Physics. From what people who've been to Cambridge have told me, it sounds like the undergrad course are a lot of hard work compared to other UK universities, even the other Russell group uni's. If you think you can stick with it and get a reasonable grade next year then I'd suggest you stick with it because the Cambridge degree will do wonders for your early career prospects. Having said that, I think Sheffield has a decent reputation in Physics so I wouldn't discount moving if you find you're really struggling and believe moving would enable you to get a 1st/2.1. Yep, that's my assessment too. I have a standing offer from Sheffield because I was concerned I would not pass so applied as a safety net, and my grade is close enough to not passing that I'm wondering whether it's telling me to switch. Judging by the exam papers I could get a 2.1 on their equivalent second year papers with the work I did for Cam's. I need to make the decision by the end of this month so I will be talking more to parents, tutor etc. Have you thought about what you're going to do afterwards? Do you think you'll do a post-grad degree/PhD? Was planning on it at start but it would be somewhere other than Cambridge because I wouldn't be accepted with my current mark. Considering industry type job or Maths teaching (PGCE). |
