    well i had a look at the programme content and it was cool

    Programme content

    Introductory modules cover programming in Java, Computer Systems, Data Structures and Information Systems, Foundation of Computer Science, and Human Centric Computing. You will also take modules in Software Engineering, Database Development and Design, Internet Principles, WWW programming, e-Commerce and Artificial Intelligence, amongst others. Optional modules in Psychology, Philosophy, Economics, Geography or Sociology are also available.

    i did a little research and talked over with some advisors and they said it is a good thing to get into

    here's the exact link http://www.liv.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/G501.htm

    Well then, begin writing your Statement :)

    Try to sound formal, but not TOO formal :)

    Your school and college should help you when you are writing your ucas statement. I can remember leaving mine till the last minute.

    Generally you want to write about why you want to do the course, what subjects are you doing at the moment and your intrests in them. What you want to do in the future.

    Also include stuff about you achievements normally non-academic, or at least no your as/gcse. So include certificates you have from stuff like mental maths challanges.

    Also include your hobbies, intrests so the admissions tutors can see more about you, and some hobbies might link into the course you are applying for.

    Make sure you do a draft show it too your tutor to get some feedback, make another draft, and again and again until you like it and so does your tutor.

    Also make sure u apply before christmas!

    Good luck, I had a look at internet computing but decided to do mathematics and computing instead.

    Just finshed my freshers week and start lecutures on monday, you should have a great time.

    Good Luck

    :P Daz
