Help choosing which uni to pick

So originally I wanted to do accounting & finance in city but couldn’t cuz they required a grade 7 in maths , I hv a 6 so applied for Business with finance with a placement yr. The content in this course has accounting but the basic and it touches on every aspects of finance.

Although the PwC programme was my first option but unfortunately I was unsuccessful after the video interview however they gave me a conditional offer for another course - accounting and management with placement experience. Also they said I’m eligible for one of their scholarships however it’s not guaranteed to get if I apply. I personally like the content in this course as it’s surrounds accounting which was what I wanted to do originally.

I live in West London, 45~ mins away from City and 1 hr ~ away from Reading.

Now my issue is which would be the best option to choose in terms of employability support, student life and other factors.

Have you checked the costs and door to door time for travelling to each? I think that might be a tie breaker.

Hi @Nnnfrgj

I hope you're well!

Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with this programme, but if you have any questionsabout the student life or local area then please just let me know.
