Uni Compare: Degree Courses UK

It’s quite good in that it allows me to really specify what university I’m looking for and where I’d prefer to go location wise. However, it feels like it takes too long to find the best university for the best course. You can find specific courses easily, but it takes a while to see the best uni specifically for that subject since I can’t filter the search that way, so I still end up going online and searching rankings for specific courses.

While presented nicely there are little aspects of use. Some information is inaccurate or blatantly wrong. The automatic filters are frankly stupid and recommending unis as a result of location is pointless. Using prospectuses, uni websites, which? Or complete university guide is far easier and more accurate. There are 5 problems I have seen from 10mins on the app - TEF statistics are incorrect when compared with uni websites and prospectuses. Information on how the courses are assessed is also wrong for multiple universities. Having an automatic recommended list based on where you currently live is frankly idiotic. For most people considering academic courses location with respects to where they are is not important and certainly not the first thing to think about. Having to search everything by name as not even every course comes up even when the title of it is searched. Some can only be seen by finding the uni then scrolling over every course. Universities with no open days scheduled according to the app do have dates in their prospectuses.

The app is easy to use and has a good layout, but the UCAS points calculator/the requirement points on different universities doesn’t take into account the Extended Project Qualification or socio-economic factors which can both lead to a lower grade offer if that university accepts them. The points suggested for acceptance are also way out of line with the new A-Level two year qualifications.

Finally a decent app that actually works and does it all. It’s almost like they took the time to care and do this properly. There are so many bad apps out there that do not help, TSR and What Uni apps are just a pain to work with, they actually bug me, but this app is actually easy. Guys please keep doing what you’re doing as I’m happy that I’ve finally got a decent app to for this, thank you so much 🙏🏼

This app is perfect when searching for the right Uni course! It was so helpful to have all the information I needed on one site, with rankings and student reviews. It also makes it easy to book on open days. Would recommend this app to anyone struggling to find the right undergraduate course!
