Which Business based subject is better?

Hi, i'm currently looking at these two courses:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ugstudy/courses/business/finance-accounting-management.aspx and https://courses.leeds.ac.uk/24418/BA_Management

Would you say there are any benefits of one course over the other?

I'd look at the modules in particular, and whilst the compulsory ones will probably be fairly similar, look at what optional ones they may offer, to see if some optional for one uni interest you much more than the other - worth bearing in mind though that just because they offer modules on the website now, doesn't mean when you get to year 2 or 3 they will still offer them!
I'm doing accounting at Nottingham so I might be able to help, looking at the modules there's not that much overlap - I think just organisational behaviour. FAM is a great course and I really enjoy the modules since we share most of them. I'd say it depends on what career path you're looking at, FAM is great because it gives you good flexibility and wide knowledge but if you know management is good for you, do because you'll get more depth of knowledge and Nottingham you will have to do accounting, economics modules etc. Also, Nottingham have a business management programme if you're interested although I guess it's a bit late.
