    Hi,

    I've no idea about what Maths (?) courses are best, but have you considered studing in Scotland?

    1. No fees to pay for students from rest of EU (excepting England/Wales)
    2. Much cheaper cost of living than in the South of England.
    3. Glasgow is the 3rd biggest city in the Uk, and is a really lively place to be. Endinburgh also a lovely city - can't tell you much about Dundee, St Andrews etc.

    If fees are not an issue, then of course the quality of the course comes into play. Do some reseach on Google.
    Durham is a great place but a popular uni with brilliant reputation so may be difficult to get to.
    Newcastle has 2 unis - Northumbria and Newcastle - good town and cost of living reasonable.

    Good luck!

    thanks Hadjuk, that's a great start. For some reason I hadn't considered Scotland, but the no fees is a great incentive as oppose to paying 9000 in England!
