    Top Unis for Management
    I am looking to take management course at uni, but want to know the top unis for it? I am a top student (got 11a* aiming for straight A's/a* at a level) so want a good uni! Also A GOOD NIGHTLIFE IS A MUST! as often people say warwicks is awful. I would prefer my management degree to have more economics than business when choosing my course options?THANKS

    11A* and As at AS and you're in a very good position tbh, regardless of how competitive E&M is !

    Lancaster's management school is one of the best in the U.K apparently.

    I swear all of my tuition fee goes towards giving management students new facilities/buildings :rolleyes:

    go for manchester
    good city, good uni the business department is great and you can specialize your degree in an area you want which is better than just management
    and since you want economics they have an international business economics specialism

    I think it's definitely exaggerated, I've been out clubbing in London and have met people studying at LSE! I'm sure there is some truth to the matter though.

    Oxford Econ & Management is definitely a major one, otherwise try Cambridge Economics and then study Management studies as part II of your course (triposes or something?).

    You could also look at pure Econ courses and then do a masters in management afterwards? If so UCL would be a safe bet. (My friend studying there calls it the University of Clubbing London :rolleyes:)

    If you factored into the employment rate the desired occupations of most Oxford E&M grads- investment banking, asset management, sales&trading or management consulting, then it'd probably tip Oxford's way.


    That being said, Aston is great

    very true, but there are many other areas. I specialise in IT and have got two massive IT companies on my CV couldn't have asked for anything better
