Is Warwick worth it for management?

I'm at Warwick for IM, it's not as much work as you'd think. 40% of the year is coursework, 60% exams - there are some easy modules, there are some hard modules. Overall, you can do pretty well if you don't slack off - I know a lot of people that didn't do much work apart from their coursework and got firsts, but they're pretty clever. There are a lot of EU students here so you'd fit in. You don't have to know a language for IM, only for IB (International Business) and you can always take one in 2nd year if that's what interests you.

Between warwick and durham, there's not much differences. However, Warwick specialises in business and they're about to open a £30mn business school building. WBS's reputation is on the rise so I'd recommend you come here, but research it more. Both uni's reputations are solid, but I don't think durham is particularly strong in management.

How so? (also thinking of applying)

WBS (the business school) operates as a separate entity pretty much from the rest of the uni. They invest tons of money into it, they just opened a space at the shard for masters programmes and have the new £30mn building opening in September.

Long term, I think wbs's reputation is just gonna keep on growing. If you look at the exchange unis they have on the IM course, it solidifies their rep (two Ivy League unis and some of the best European biz schools).

While I am biased and warwick does have its bad points, I'd say it's been pretty good so far. You do all your core modules in 1st year and then specialise, which is great (you get to choose in 2nd yr).

How about job prospects? I read an article that Warwick was one of the main targets for employers.
Can you find a job while you are studying?

Job prospects are top tier. WBS places well for finance, big 4, corporates - a lot of the WBS students I know did spring weeks at IB's/Big 4's, the big firms are always on campus trying to promote. If you're talented, you'll get a job no problem.

Thank you! And is Coventry that bad really?

Hi has anyone already studied bsc management here? I have a few questions:
How is the course overall?
What were the career prospects?
Were jobs available easily?
If yes then what was the average salary package

Hello,,, Did you go to UOW - Management?

Hi, I do International Business at Warwick and have a lot of friends in management and other bisiness-related courses. If u have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks you for your response I will really appreciate it if you could answer the following questions..
1) I am an international student, does local students blend in with us or its just separate group? I heard a lot of 'bad' things happen to int students their from local students!

2) Also, how is the Management programme? Is it difficult? How are the assessments add-up to our final grade? Is it just on exams or there are some coursework? What are the electives we can choose from because they are not available on the website?

3) Is Coventry safe? How is the weather there?


Thanks in advance dear

1- I think it depends on how much you put yourself out there. It's definitely not uncommon for international students to stick within their own groups, but in my experience as a UK-based student, I was the only white person in my flat of 12 and it was probably a 50/50 split of internationals and UK students, so I kind of became friends with international students through that. Some of my international friends stick with people from their own country a lot, but others hae more diverse friends. I think it really depends on putting yourself out there, if you join clubs and societies you will definitely befriend many different types of students. I don't know of any bad things happening to international students and my international friends have never complained about this either!

2- My friends all did pretty well on their management course last year. I honestly don't think it's particularly difficult, you can easily get a 2:1 in your modules with a relatively low amount of work, which means it's not too hard to get Firsts if you do put in the effort. Normally the assessments might make up 75% of your grade, and sometimes there;s group work which contributes to 15% and participation in seminars is normally 10%. So yes it is more weighted towards exams but there are other factors. I think in the first term my friends didn't get any elective modules, and in the second term they may could choose 1 or 2 of the 4. In the following years there's a lot of choice, in first year a lot of modules are just introductory and the basics so everyone has to take them. I was in classes with my friends doing management for example because my business degree shared some introductory modules.

3- Coventry is ok. It's definitely not the greatest place but I don't think it's any worse than most places in England, and that goes for safety too. If this is your first year you'll probably be living on campus anyway. I never had much reason to go to Coventry and whenever I didd it was always the city centre which is busy enough that it's pretty safe. The weather is ok for ENgland. I don't know where you're coming from but my international friends do complain it's chilly, but it's more or less the same as anywhere in the country. Just buy a winter coat and you'll probably be fine lol
