have a real problem here, dont know which uni to choose.
I know uni of Bham is more well known but the course aston offer have a one year placement which i believe will be more valuable when looking for a job.
any help will be appreciated
thanks

Either as both are reputable universities, the placement idea sounds good - so don't refuse to go for Aston. I don't know which one is better for Accounting and Finance though. Have you also checked out both universities? x

I'm not on that particular course, but I do study at Aston and know them to invest an awful lot of belief in the placement system. At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference, why not visit the two universities (made easier by them being in the same city, of course) and find out first hand which you think would be most suited to your needs from current students and staff?

I don't know anything about either course or university but don't write off one university just because it's not as well known. If you believe a placement will be better for your career then go for that one!

I'd suggest that you get in contact with Birmingham and ask about the possibilities of taking a year out to do a placement. I aren't sure about A&F, but in Economics, if you have secured a year in industry you can take a year out to complete it.
Just because a placement year isn't explicitly spoken about, doesn't mean you can't do one.

I believe the course at Aston gives more exemptions for the professional stage exams, speaking from experience, these are worth a lot! But as has been said its about what you like, I personally don't put much between the courses, they're both very good. Placement at Aston is brilliant, but reputation at Brum is very good. so basically go visit and decide on that basis perhaps. Good luck!

Hi,
I'm on the A&F course in Birmingham Uni in my 3rd year.
I believe it is possible to "defer" for a year and take a year out and come back and finish your 3rd year, although you will have to double check this.

i think im going to email birmingham and see what they say
do you like the A&F degree at birmingham? and would u say that accounting degree is dominated by males or females or is it a fair split? also is there a lot of asian people on your course e.g. indian
