Which universities are highly ranked for business?

I'm not applying for business but I do know Aston is meant to be very well known for it's business related courses and for graduate jobs. However Queen Mary and Sussex probably have a better overall reputation. I guess out of those 3 universities you should base your decision on what one you prefer as you will have to live there for the next 3/4 years

I applied to Aston and Kent last year albeit for Economics. Both are quite good in the business degree area.

One thing that I disliked about Aston was that for the first year you take all business school modules (I think). That means that if you want to do Business Management, you'd also have to do Business Law, Economics, IT for Business, Marketing, Accounting etc. all in your first year - even if you didn't want to study them (although if you wanted to swap out to a different business school degree after first year it was very easy to do so because of this). Personally, this put me off.

But maybe this is something that you'd like? I don't know. I think out of your choices though I'd firm one of either Kent. QM or Aston

Yeah I really like the modules from the first year, I study law at a level so studying law in business would be interesting, I also do ict and did AS economics so I'm fine with the modules I just don't know which one is more respected also I heard Aston looks like a college?

Well Aston is set right in the centre of the city, unlike Kent which is located out in the countryside but to be honest I preferred the Kent campus (that's the Canterbury campus, I think the Business course you applied for is on the Medway campus?). The Aston day might feel more like a college day due to how many lectures you have to go to to cover the first year modules. But the one thing that put me off Aston was the Economics department. They had this really nice, modern glass building where the Economics department was located, but they said that I wouldn't have any lectures in it. Instead I'd have the majority if not all of my lectures in the tall building in the middle of campus, which to me looked a bit run down. Thankfully the uni I'm at now has a nice, modern Economics department. I'm sure the Aston lecturers have good teaching quality but the negatives went just a bit too far for me and so I chose to put another uni as my firm and Kent as my insurance.

No I applied for business administration which is in Canterbury. Yeah that's the only thing that is putting me off, the small building etc doesn't look good or feel like you're in a university so I'm really unsure :\ but then again I'm from London so I'm very used to the busy streets and might find Kent boring... Hard decision! Lol
