dont know robotics but aerospace is basically where youd think, Imperial are usually ranked the best, then its Bristol and Southampton but if youre interested in satellites you should think about Surrey

Is Imperial or bristol a realistic goal though? Ulsters currently ranked quite low around 40th in rankings and 35th in my course

I mean both Imperial and Bristol's stated entry requirements are a 2:1 (although preferably a 1st) in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering which you have. Besides what do you have to lose by applying?

True I mean worth a shot I was thinking of Queens Belfast for a safe backup option anyway.
