Accounting and finance at Sussex or royal Holloway

Hi everyone,

I wanted to pick my backup university but I don’t know which one to pick out of the two. Which one has better employability is overall better? My predictions are AAA and all my other universities need AAA or AAB. Royal Holloway requires ABB-BBB and Sussex requires ABB. Also are there better back up universities?

Look at the course structure for each course carefully, think about the optional units available in each year of both courses and which you would actually pick if you went there. Any sort of work-experience or work placement is a very valuable plus, as is any opportunity for study abroad. Both will enhance your graduate CV.

These are very different Unis - have a look at the campus tour films on YouTube.
And very different locations - small town Surrey will not be as exciting/fun as being in Brighton.
