Have you visited both Birmingham and Surrey? If not, I would suggest attending an applicant day at both as it will allow you to get a real feel for that university and the opportunity to meet students who enrol there. You could also compare the courses at both universities against one another, which one has more appealing and useful modules? There are a few websites that you can go on to directly compare universities such as;
https://unistats.direct.gov.uk/
http://comparetheuni.com/
and
https://universitycompare.com/

Even looking up the Universities on TSR helps to get opinions from students who did or do study there and what they thought of it.
Hope this helps and good luck with your application! :smile:

Birmingham has a much better rep when compared to Surrey. Though if your taking A&F, assuming your interested in accountancy/finance type jobs then in that case, Nottingham has a better rep for big4, IB jobs compared to the other unis your interested in.

At the Big 4 I work at Birmingham is considerably more of a target than Nottingham.

on what metric are you measuring this? if the number of bham grads at your company exceeds the number of oxford grads, that doesn't mean that bham is more of a target
