Kate Middleton's degree choice! But of course, she didn't come from a posh background, did she?

Don't know about that, she's descended from wealthy wool merchants and she went to Downe House and Marlborough.

Shh, she's The Peoples Princess!

When it comes to the rah population in Northern universities, I would say this order explains it:

Durham - rahtastic
Newcastle - very rah
Leeds - considerably rah
Manchester - more than incidentally rah
York - slightly rah
Sheffield - not very rah
Liverpool - not a rah in sight
Lancaster/Leicester - see above

My interpretation of things.

Firstly, I like the place, and I suppose these replies may or may not mean something to you, considering you're going there lol (which by the way well done mate; the impression I got from the place was genuinely extremely strong when I went there, especially with regards to career prospects, and I myself am now considering IFRM there).

Yeah, pretty much that, but I've been there twice now (on two of their taster courses), and I must say I did notice an air of confidence and general middle-class-ish-ness with the UK-based students, if you know what I mean... Hard to describe, but with Cass at least (cos I went on a taster course for Economics at City as well as IFRM at Cass), the students there were more career-focused than I thought. Certainly, there was a clear leaning for career paths, and I know I'd appreciate being in such an environment to be honest.

Genuinely considering Cass now. Good luck there

If you're looking for a university that will set you up well for the real world and you yourself are career focused then CASS is never a bad choice. IFRM also has a strong reputation among finance employers.

UCL and Kings College.

Newcastle and Nottingham are almost identical - 437 and 439 UCAS points retrospectively and it's been this way for a long time, yes?

NO Definitely not !

This is nonsense, as the grades students actually get far exceeds those required as a minimum for Nottingham, in particular for very high demand courses like Law, Medicine, Veterinary Science, Medicine, Pharmacy. For several courses you have to sit entrance tests to gain acceptance alongside the A level grades.

Nonsense? This isn't open for interpretation, it's facts. This ISN'T the minimal grades required by each university but rather the typical amount of UCAS points achieved by students at each which means that, speaking in fact, the students who attend each have almost identical grades give or take a few UCAS points. You mentioned medicine twice, since you give it such emphasis I'll remind you that Newcastle has a far more prestigious and respected medical school than Nottingham. As I said before, Nottingham is a good university, as is Newcastle, but is certainly not as prestigious as you would present it to be. Which courses would that be that require additional tests as well as A levels? I'm not saying all this because I want to go to Newcastle and am, therefore, trying to big it up - St Andrews is my firm and I'm hoping to go there and if not then Newcastle, I'm just giving you facts which, I think, help to prove my point that Newcastle and Nottingham are fairly similar standards of universities.

Nottingham offer graduate entry medicine, hence the repeat, though a rubbish internet connection does not help when editing. You seem like a rookie student with no real business experience. Come back in 10 years time when you will hopefully understand employers and academics stick to what they know through the tradition and reputation of the Russell Group rather than risk the unknown of boom bust biased league tables that fluctuate a lot each year as more bogus random criteria and weightings are added for the amusement of Vice Chancellors.

They may offer that, but Newcastle still has a massive upper-hand with medicine. As I suspected, you once again ignore every point I addressed and, again, stress your rather tedious point about league tables being unreliable and Nottingham being superior in an almost, sorry to say, pseudo- intellectual manner with little evidence to support what you're saying. You asserted that Nottingham had much higher academic standards in terms of the students and I gave you evidence that it was bosh, you protested and I corrected you and then you said nothing more, to name but one example. Come back in 10 years time? Don't use my age against me in the assertion that I don't know what I'm talking about in regards to universities. And, for the last time, I don't solely base my arguments on fluctuating league tables. You seem like someone who has probably attended Nottingham who is trying to big-up their own university. Maybe 20 years ago your argument would be valid, not now.

You don't know what you are talking about, and at 18 nobody would expect you to. It takes several more years to understand the whole picture and how businesses and academics rank universities. Nottingham medical school is one of the very strongest, and many notts rejects end up at other good medical schools like Birmingham & Leicester.
