Definitely Bristol as one of them. It’s prestigious, the city life is amazing it’s diverse the uni is great and I really enjoyed every open day I’ve been to there. I’ve also lived in Bristol and it’s great.

Hello,

This is ultimately your choice so firstly have you visited them all in person? Different universities have different atmospheres and so you need to pick the ones which feel right to you. Pick the University where you wouldn't mind calling that location home for three years or more.

Secondly, although many universities offer the same courses such as history, psychology etc, each university may offer different modules. You should therefore take a look at what modules you may be studying and pick the universities which offer modules which are of the most interest to you.

Finally, providing that you have visited them all and checked their courses and that they teach what you are interested in, use your gut instinct. I learnt when I was applying that this was not easy but it ultimately led to the right decision. This is a big decision but have confidence in yourself.

I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please do let me know.

Hey!

If you’re thinking about studying marketing, I’d definitely recommend Brunel. They’ve got a really solid course that mixes theory with practical stuff, so you’re not just learning but actually preparing for the real world. They offer placements too, which is amazing for building experience (and your CV!).

Plus, it’s in London, so you’re right in the middle of one of the biggest marketing hubs in the world loads of networking opportunities and access to top agencies. The campus vibe is great, super diverse, and the facilities are modern. If you’re into digital marketing, branding, or market research, you’ll find something that really clicks with you. Definitely worth checking out! 😊

Let me know if you have any qs!

Hello!

I know this can be a tricky decision to make, but try to research into your options as much as possible, and visiting is a great way to see if a university could be for you.

The modules for the marketing course at the University of Southampton can be found here, and the societies offered by our student union here - I hope this information can help you come to a decision. Marketing BSc at Southampton is also highly accredited, being ranked in the UK top 10 in the complete university guide.

Feel free to ask me any questions,
Rachel (UoS student rep)
