Should I reject Economics and Finance bsc at UEA to apply to Uni of Surrey Eco and Fi

Hi, I urgently need your opinion on this matter. So I have an offer for Economics andFinance bsc at UEA (Unconditional). I can apply to uni of sussex or uni of surrey but I would have to reject UEA first. Its a year 2 offer btw. What do you guys think? Is it worth the risk? I would really love to hear your thoughts on this. I have 2.5 hours to decide. Give me you're honest thoughts.
Thanks

Hey Ahmed,

If you already hold an unconditional Year 2 offer at UEA for Economics and Finance, think very carefully before rejecting it. That kind of offer gives you certainty and progression, especially if you’re transferring or want to complete your degree without delays.

While Surrey and Sussex are great unis too, you'd be giving up a guaranteed place for the chance of another, and there's no guarantee they’ll accept you into Year 2, especially if they’re strict about matching modules.

UEA has a very good economics department, and you'll be joining a tight-knit cohort with direct support. Also, Norwich is a friendly, student-centred city with great value for money.

It’s not just about the quality of the university, it’s also about the specific course. Banking and digital finance bsc is offered at Sussex. Given the fact that I consider myself a finance student , interested in the financial market and being a financial advisor or in a finance role, doesn’t this course fit my requirements better? If I was doing economics is both universities then the difference would not have been a lot. What do you think?
