Make sure that you have a clear path through to your chosen result. I know Brookes has a lot of courses that you have to take prerequisites for, and it can hold things up considerably if you don't take the necessary foundation modules first - I wound up having to take a 1st year module in my last two terms to qualify, having changed subjects in my 2nd year! Get those and any mandatory courses on the schedule first and trace through to desired final year subjects. Then identify some extras that you like the look of (French, Japanese, whatever). See if they might be useful for later modules too (e.g. might you study any modern French authors? Would you like to do some cross-subject work?). Then look at slots - it's really annoying to have a schedule that requires you to be there on Monday morning 9am and then not again until Thursday pm; quite satisfying to have all your modules scheduled for the same day each week (my first-year required me to attend on Tuesdays only! It was a long-ish day but I had a full week to do all my reading and writing, and could hold down a part-time office job too). That might make the difference between two choices of equal non-relevance.

A friend of imc's studied Typography at Reading a while back, if an insider's view of those courses might be useful.
