sorry, for the late reply...
I finally got conditional offers from all 4 universities

Have you visited the unis?
What do you think of them?

Have you got a 5th uni?

What A-levels are you doing and what grades do you expect?

u'know
when i was searching for more information about economics in university of york, i realised that there was another strange degree...
what is BA/BSc? is that BA or BSc?
i am sure economics is BSc in york...
i am just curious...

Well, not yet

and Economics, accounting, Math- all A

I applied Leeds but i did not mentioned i thought Leeds would be the least famous in economics...

Can you tell me how good Economics in Bristol, Durham,Nottingham and York is

Nottingham > the other 3

PURELY because of the SHEER volume of modules on offer, everyone has 3 or 4 A's and the top companies recruit here including a few that only target 10 or so universities in UK like procter and gamble, WPP, mckinsey (though they only target sife students at notts) and a few others
PS Which other uni in uk offers experimental economics, financial economics, public sector, labour, monetary, industrial, international as optional electives in second year???

Yes: if Leeds and York are both AAB that would suggest York as an insurance.


to iterate it is a very perosnal decision and you need to visit them before deciding: i.e. 3 years is a long time to spend in the place which is wrong for you.

Your first 3 are all good and not much difference in them: all are top 10 rated. Think about how:
i) far they are from your home?
ii) and do you want a campus or city uni?


Good that you have lots of options to chocie from: both in terms of modules and employers. However I think all 3 of the unis that op lists are good both in terms of academic quality of it's studnets and their resulting employability and their is no clear advantage for Notts:
i) for Economics Notts has the lowest starting salaries for graduates: 25.0K c.f. 26.5 at Durham and 27.1K at Bristol.
ii) Notts has intermediate average UCAS tariff points of students: 468 c.f. 457 at Bristol and 491 at Durham.

If you don't want to be taught by some of the best minds in economics then go ahead and pick durham or bristol!

As the OP is looking at undergraduate, I don't think research rankings are as relevant as the points you raised before (job oppurtunties post uni and the quality of your peers). And none of them is as important as finding a uni where the OP fits in well.

How is the quality of peers more important than the intellect of your lecturers?

Because all lecturers will be more intelligent than their students. Additionally, no lecturer will be able to challenge a student to the point of their own intellect or massively beyond that of the course. (I.e.: If you're on an introductory to macroeconomics course, your lecturer won't be able to stretch you to an advanced macroeconomics level, even if you're capable and willing, he'll follow the course syllabus, end of.)

How is the quality of peers more important than the intellect of your lecturers?

exactly. And:
i)you learn more from other students than you do in lectures.
ii)quality other students motivate you.

so essentially you're saying: essex > bristol, durham, bath, edinburgh etc.
