Hello.
I have gotten unconditional offers from University of Exeter and University of Bath (for economics with an option for a placement year to work or study abroad) and now i have to decide which one to accept. Since I am from Sweden i don't know that much about which one has the best reputation and that's why I need your help
At the moment I am leaning towards Exeter because I have just gotten a better feel for the university. Im gonna go to Exeter:s open day in a couple of weeks but i won't be able to attend Bath:s.
I would be very grateful for some constructive advice one which uni to choose. plz motivate
Thanks
David

Bath is seen as a better university overall, but the difference between them is negligible in my opinion. And I don't like the city of Bath for some reason, lovely but boring I think. I'd go for Exeter after all.

But I would rate Bath above Exeter. Bath has a stronger history than Exeter (e.g. Exeter is not that selective

I wouldn't really trust the economics specific tables as they can be swayed by student satisfaction(especially the times one) or the guardian one in general so i won't include them.

Just depends what's important to you

Coming from an Exeter student i would say Bath for sure, reasons:
1.Exeter is in Devon which has one of the lowest employment rates in UK and in this regard it affects the Uni in its grad prospects coupled with the fact alot of students stay living in the area (because its very nice place to live no doubt)
2. The economics course is a Ba which has stigmas attached to it such as 'its not as mathematical as a Bsc' which isnt true.
3. Exeter is up and coming, it used to be ranked extremely low due to have many departments not performing however they have since closed them down hence the rise in the league tables.
4. Currently has lower average tarrif.

I'm in the same boat, trying to decide between exeter and bath for economics with the placement year. I loved exeter when I went and they are just in the middle of building a brand new economics building, it should be finished by the beginning of the next year, which will improve the buisness school (and its going to look amazing!). But I haven't been to bath yet.

hey,
ive managed to get a conditional from exeter(AAB), leeds(AAB), liverpool(ABB) and newcastle(ABB) for BA in Business Economics. i am really confused about which one to make my firm.
i know exeter is very high on the rankings for economics, but i have heard its a small place and i would honestly want to go a town like cardiff.
is exter like cardiff, or is cardiff better?
which university should i make my firm and insurance??

Exeter is much nicer place to live at but for economics placement year triumphs studying abroad
Also, Bath are careerists so you want to do the placement year there and after graduation you'll have an idea of what you want to do and have enough connections to pursue it
