Hi, I've just been in the same situation. I considered the same unis. I've got an offer from St. Andrews. Apparently Durham Business School has been in internal turmoil and a lot of staff has left. I didn’t apply for that reason. Birmingham is a good uni, but I feel the management school is too little to be a leading business school. Only offers one program. Depends if you want to go to a prestigious uni or a good business school. St Andrews has some good lecturers in global strategy, but does not have the reputation of a business school offering MBAs. Still, the school is lovely and completely new. Have you considered Warwick and Manchester? Both are very good. Of the ones you listed I would personally choose St Andrews. The program is very good, quite flexible and you get a MLitt.

Sorry, I meant Bristol and not Birmingham Business school. Birmingham has more programs than Bristol :wink:

Durham business school is in Stockton, it's a really not nice place no where near Durham. Avoid it like the plague if you can, there are rumours of it actually being split from Durham due to the low results as well.

This is total BS. Durham Business School is not in Stockton. Get your facts right!!! Durham Uni has a college in Stockton, but this is not Durham Business School!!! The Business School is in Durham and it's really nice. Near the Oriental Museum in Durham. I live near Durham, so trust me. :rolleyes:
