Economics or Management

Hey, i've applied for management and got an ABB offer from Royal Holloway, but i was wondering how this course compared to economics in terms of respect from employers. I'm not really sure because the conditions stated on ucas for economics are BBB/ABC which are lower than management, but RHUL is supposedly ranked higher for economics than business. Would it be worth trying to switch or is management going to be ok?

Appreciate the help.

RHUL's business school has a very good reputation. I'd say switch to management (but then im biased :biggrin:

Cheers, its management i already have the offer in, i'll probably just stick to it. The other problem i have though is that i was thinking of putting management at cass as my first choice, which means if i don't get AAB and go to RHUL i wont have any prearranged accommodation as you have to put it as your firm to apply for campus rooms :frown:

ive been worrying abut that too, therefore i dont know whether to put RHUL as my firm or insurance.. cos i really like it there, yet i think it might be better to go to CASS?? anyone got any opinions on this? like in saying wheres better and why?

I think that Royal Holloway is the better university over all (if you're both applying for the universities listed in Millie's profile.

The Sunday Times releases a guide that doesn't just include university tables, but also tables for your subject, so you can see what the top 10/15/20 management departments are. Top ones = more likely to be employed as employer recognises them as having a very good reputation.

No idea where you can find the Times guide though.

I've been to city and surrey and going rhul on the 20th, i have already sent my ucas off so i guess i can't really change it now, but i was interested in that course, maybe if i go there and dont like management theyll let me change.

welll i mean, as long as you get the grades, then im sure they wouldnt mind.. esp when its in the same subject, and its only a minor change.. i guess!! have you decided whats your firm/ insurance?

and omg - im going to the open day on the 20th :P thats really weird - even tho its not :P hehe

Firm and insurance is between city and royal holloway i guess... i chose my options with absolutely no idea in what career i wanted so i don't really know what to do lol

i hope there wont be too many people at the open day like at surrey, this is quite a late one so might not be too crowded :smile:

yet again, it is half term .. soo... might be a lil.
To be honest.. im in the same position as you!! :P same two choices - dont know what i want to do.. lol.. hehe think i can say.. we're in the same boat? :P

haha

Anyways.. what offer are you more likely to achieve - assuming that ur getting ABB for City and ABC/BBB for RHUL?

Erm there was a letter out that was sent to me in November asking me to go to their Department Open Day and there were several dates they gave me - 23rd jan, 30th jan, 20th feb, 5th march, 12th march and 19th march

and seeing as it is department open day.. i think it includes all the economics/ business subjects.

Anyways im doing Economics and Management there, so i dont know why they havent sent you one, maybe you should email them and ask them if you could go on the dates that have been mentionned?
