As Nottingham University's Accounting and Finance course is a BA, does this mean employers will look down on this.


No not at all....Nottinghams Business school is well respected and a high no of FAM graduates go into well payed career...

With regards to BA + BSc lets not get into that...all you need to know is with any accounting degree BA and BSc arn't a determining factor as to whether or not an employer will give you a role over sme1 who did a BSc if you did a BA...

BSc accounting degree's just have more mathematical content

Have all you LSE/Warwick applicants sent your applications off yet?
I'm on like my 3rd draft and doing a new intro.

Should have it done my half term and sent whenever my college finish my ref off.

Haha funny that, I'm also doing a new intro and a couple of drafts in.
Haven't sent mine yet tho, aiming for very early November. It shouldn't really matter too much for LSE Warwick as they take their time looking through loads of applicants before sending out offers. If you send it before January it should be fine.

Also, getting it over and done with means a major stress out the way and then i can focus on my Jan exams :wink:
What do you guys this of the CASS business school?
I think CASS business has quite a good reputation, but it's part of the City University London, which is quite low on the university league table.
Will the reputation of City repel employers away? and the fact that it is not very high up in the league tables?
