Bath or leeds for accounting and finance/leeds?

I have received an offer for a&f at bath and bristol and am waiting to hear from leeds. For a&f, would there be a big difference in employability and future prospects in studying at bath or leeds? i think i would enjoy leeds much more as i am quite a sociable person and like going out, and whilst bath isnt that bad leeds is much better for that from what i've heard. also if i were to change course to econ would there be a significant advantage in studying at bath over leeds? thanks

Are you sure you'd be able to change course from A&F to Economics ? Seems there's been insane competition for Economics at good universities this year (of which Leeds and Bath would be good) with plenty of people with 3/4 achieved A*s being rejected.

Personally, I don't think there'd be any differences in employability between those two universities
Bath - specialist Business and Management School and has one of the best placement systems in the UK.
And its a relatively small Uni with great sports facilities.

Thanks for the reply
Is A&F still a highly employable degree at these unis for a career in investment banking? And yes Bath said that they will consider offering me a place if I submit a personal statement for econ.

Hi, can I ask if they gave you the offer? Also what were your predicted grades?

agree, and you will have amazing opportunities for placements at both, not just one! Choose where you think you’ll thrive more personally and get the best class of degree you are capable of. Both are excellent, and do agree with what has been said above economics above.
