Congrats on your predicted AAB! Both Queen Mary and the University of Surrey are excellent choices, and the decision comes down to what you prefer. Queen Mary is located in East London, offering a lively city environment with great networking opportunities, especially if you’re interested in finance or business. On the other hand, Surrey has a quieter, campus-based setting in Guildford, with a strong focus on employability and placement opportunities.

If you’re open to exploring more options, SOAS could be worth considering. I study here, and it’s ideal for anyone interested in how economics intersects with global challenges like sustainability or inequality. It’s located in central London and requires AAB, though they may offer ABB for contextual applicants. Other universities near London, like Royal Holloway or City, University of London, are also worth a look, with entry requirements typically ranging from AAB to BBB.

Ultimately, your choice should reflect your preferences for either a city or campus setting and the specific focus of the programme. If you’d like more details about SOAS or advice on the decision, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help! Good luck!
