From my point of view, those of us taking economics care more about future career prospects than those applying for more vocational courses (English, Classics etc). I would say that the order for career prospects (based heavily on rankings but also employers at a career fair I attended) is Warwick>UCL>Bath>Bristol. Bristol might edge Bath overall but Bath has a real focus on placements and really preparing you for the labour market.

Wow because I spoke to someone at Bristol a few days ago and that person said It is in the top 3-5 of job prospects(this sorta stuff). Obviously I guess there all good. But some would say UCL and Warwick are one bracket differentiated higher and I dont know the reason behind that.
Rejected from Warwick for Economics.

7a* at GCSE, AAAA at AS and A*A*A*A predictions with Maths, Economics and Physics being the A*'s.

Hmm Bath was really nice, but I've also heard lots of good things about Bristol so I'll have to wait and see which one is the one for me 😄

Please let that not be true *laughs nervously, almost manically*
Warwick are pretty volatile, it's hard to know what exactly they're looking for but I'd guess it's either GCSEs (no. of A*s) and/or PS.
