Bath now or KCL after a gap year? Really Important!

Hello to everyone. I would like to get help from you.
So I want to study business (management with marketing). I received an offer from Bath, but due to the low rank in the world, I have doubts. Instead, I want to study A level Maths in 1 year, because I am missing 1 A level for KCL University. I thought that I would study Maths in my gap year and it would be possible to get an A. I have no preference where to study, in a big or small city. Is it worth spending a year studying maths in order to go to KCL to study business management, or is it worth going to Bath now?

Getting a KCL offer isn't guaranteed. Don't fixate on rankings for now, as they tend to fluctuate year by year. If you like Bath and think you'll be happy studying there then go to Bath. Also, don't underestimate the intensity of A level maths. It's a very challenging course and without proper tuition, you may just find yourself spending a lot of money on something that you don't really need. There's no reason why you can't apply for a masters degree at KCL if you still want to study there after finishing your degree at Bath.
