    Hands up if you got rejected from LSE.
    Didn't apply as I really wanted a 4 year course with some time abroad or in industry and much preferred the look of Warwick to LSE if I'm honest!

    No, it's a bit confusing! :L In International Management you do a year abroad in an English speaking country/university so basically in Australia, Canada or the US and I think there are one or two places you can go to in Hong Kong. International Business is the one which has another language and study abroad in a European Country, I think.

    Basically I wanted a year studying abroad but without the extra language stuff, so it's the exact same course as Management except third year is abroad and so it's a 4 year course.

    Hey Everybody,

    I have firmed my conditional offer to do Management, just need to send them verification of my reference. I'm really looking forward to it but as I am 21 I am a bit worried about being older than most of the freshers! Did everyone receive the reading list by the way, pretty extensive, ordered a few off amazon so we'll see how that goes. I can't wait for freshers week, I went to Imperial to study Physics for a year and the SU there was AWFUL in comparison to Warwick. Warwick's SU is so good in comparison, plus there is 50/50 girls to guys instead of 30/70 like at Imperial.

    I turned down LSE Management for Warwick Management. but it wasn't an easy decision to make back then.

    For undergrad education, I prefer Warwick to LSE. Postgrad would be another story though.

    Warwick Management requires AAAB including a maths or science and a humanities or social-science essay based subject.

    You need either AAAb so 3 A-Levels and an AS-Level

    OR

    A*AA.

    Ah cheers, that's what I'm hoping to get. Do you have experience of applying there? I'm dropping Business next year and I got told if I was successful, I would get an offer of 3A's and a B at AS level so good to know.
