PLEASE HELP - University of Manchester Vs University of Nottingham?

wrong, who says most people want to work in London? If youre thinkign of going into financial markets, there are hk, tokyo, paris, new york, singapore, frankfurt, zurich, and many many more. Plus how do you know he wants to stay in the UK after 3 years? he didnt say that did he. and we dont even know if he's from the UK originally or somewhere else. furthermore, people's plans do change.

Unless you're from the UK, most people know more of manchester than Nottingham, because its a bigger town and the football team of course.

It depends on whether you're a local or a foreign student. If youre british then sure you will probably want to work in the UK. But having said that, other offices in europe employ all sorts of people, English, Germans or dutch. you'll be amazed how many foreign empolyees work outside their own countries. How do you know the OP is a local or a non local?! No one's stopping you from going to Nottingham. Suit yourself and pipe down would you.

Thanks for everyone's input on this - I can say I am from the UK and I probably do wish to work in London after I graduate so after viewing the uni's accessing a series of other factors such as cost of living, distance from home and the ease of getting there, reputation, flexibility of modules....... I've gone for Nottingham as my firm and Birmingham as my second. So it was a toss up between Birmingham and Manchester for the backup choice. Manchester wanted AAA from me while Birmingham were content with me getting ABB; there is no way I was going to have AAA / AABB and AAA as my two choices as that would be far too risky. I had to have some sort of safety net in case my A2 results went belly’s up.

dude Nottingham economics is always ranked in the top 5 for economics, whereas Manchester has never ever been top 15.
