    Please help me as I am SO confused and really want some good advice.

    I really want to get into PR and Marketing and work in London.

    For companies etc, which degree/uni our of my four offers do you think is more ideal/preferred?

    Bournemouth - PR
    City University - Business Studies
    Durham - Marketing
    Lancaster - Marketing Management

    Thank you!

    They usually accept any degree tbh. But if you're certain about it and are happy to study it for 3/4 years then go for it But any arts degree/business degree can usually get you into the sector. You need very good people skills. Scrap Bournemouth (even though you could get in with a degree from there, if you can go better places do it!) I'd go with Durham or Lancs. City would be good as it's in the heart of London, but it won't benefit you much, unless you're into banking or financial services. It's not as highly ranked as other unis mentioned
