Aberdeen Or Cardiff university?

I have a cousin who is trying to chose between the two universities to do an MBA in buisness studies and hes coming from India so I want to give him a heads up on which one he should go for? My feeling is that cardiff is the better choice as its part of the Russell Group but I might be wrong?

Cardiff is certainly a nicer location in my view.

People often say don't choose cardiff as it's in Wales.


I would choose cardiff though. The uni is lovely. Plus since cardiff is no.1 uni in wales it's probably easier to get a job in Wales. lots of good unis in Aberdeen (of course I might be talking complete rubbish regarding this, but trust me cardiff uni and city is beautiful, and that's a lot coming from someone who lives in England lol).

Location aside, I'd say Cardiff. The reason being I've heard more good things about it's business school than Aberdeen's.

Cardiff probably has the better business school. From someone with the rare distinction of visiting both, Aberdeen is a much nicer place in my opinion, both on the university campus (not just the main building) and the granite-chiselled architecture of the city in general. It is pretty cold though (but has much less rain than you might imagine).
