<p>Hello, I'm a rising senior in New Jersey and I want to find some good Electrical engineering universities in the UK. Preferably Scotland, by anywhere in the UK would be good.

Any suggestions would be awesome. Also I have around 200 hours of service in robotics</p>
<p>well Oxford and Cambridge do general engineering courses. However, if you are dead set on electrical engineering, Imperial College is by far your best bet</p>
<p>Imperial College London is the best choice for specialized electrical engineering. At Cambridge, you can take two years of general engineering and then do a concentration on electrical engineering in the last two years.</p>
<p>But wouldn’t it be very unlikely for me to get into cambridge?</p>
<p>From what I know, you have almost no chance with Cambridge or Imperial, just not enough relatd AP 5s.</p>
<p>Yeah I had already assumed that, but are there any good engineering schools that I could get into or at least a reasonable reach?</p>
<p>If your heart is fixed on UK universities for EE, I’d suggest to try traditional engineering powerhouses such as Manchester, Liverpool, Southamption, etc. Their admission is more likely for your stats. </p>
<p>Personally, I do not see much/any advantage to do EE outside US, at least not professionally.</p>
<p>Would those schools also be good for computer science? Also I want to go to college in the uk because I want to eventually find work there and live in the UK rather than in the us</p>
<p>They are at least decent, with Liverpool somewhat weaker. For CS, the big schools in Scottland are all quite good, St Andrews, Edinburg, Glasgow. </p>
<p>Good luck. London is my favorite city.</p>
<p>Thank you do much and sorry for bothering you with all these questions but I have a couple more if you don’t mind.
If I don’t visit the school will that count against me?
I really like Glasgow st Andrews and Southampton but do they require interviews?
Also what would they be looking for in essays?</p>
<p>Sorry, I am more familiar wit Oxbridge admission, which 1) has no visiting requirement/preference, 2) requires interview, an essential component, and 3) expects essay focusing on your chosen major (why this field, why you).</p>
<p>Ah ok, thank you.</p>
