Durham or Manchester..?

I'd disagree. 99% of degrees taken at high level institutions won't be questioned...they know these places have high requirements.

But yes, the Stockton issue is an important one to raise. From what I've heard, those who choose Durham over other places to study at is simply for the name. Most employers won't know that it is one of easiest courses to get into at Durham, or that it's taught miles from most other courses. Many go there for the name. A top 3 university for ABB, bargain. But would you be happy there? Do you like a name? In my view both are similar in terms of prestige for a business related degree. Even more so, Manchester offers a bit of Economics which will open more doors in my opinion.

The course at Durham has quite literally no Business in it as such. It is more of a split between economics, applied economics and Finance. Much better than the modules at Manchester. tbh - the Durham name is quite important I feel, and have spoken to people who are at Stockton. They all live there for a year and just move out near Durham City afterwards and just commute.
