Bath or Nottingham?

I've received conditional offers from both Bath and Nottingham Uni. I need to pay the deposit soon so need to make my mind up.

Which one is better in terms of employability? Both courses are for people who have limited experience and have not studied business/management previously.

Bath Uni, MSc Management (possibility to add a specialism like finance, HR, IT, Operations etc)

Nottingham Uni, MSc International Business (certain electives can be taken abroad)


How much time will I have outside of study doing this MSc? If I have a fair amount of free time then it seems like Nottingham would be a better choice as there is more to do in the city compared to Bath.

Dont underestimate the fact that maybe one town or city maybe NOT for you.
Try to seek any information about these two cities and then Decide.
I left Warwick aside for this reason.....

I would choose Nottingham - nice city and good uni. I dont think you will have MUCH free time but Nottingham has a very active social life. I think its also more prestigious.

Nottingham has a much better reputation for employability. All of the best companies recruit at Nottingham, whereas Bath has only some accounting companies and mostly science/technology firms that recruit there.
