Durham v Nottingham
Hi , I wondered if anyone has any opinions for studying economics at these uni's .
Re: Durham v Nottingham
They are pretty close in the league tables although entry standard for Durham is higher which might be significant.
Perhaps it is about the style of University experience - Durham is seen by some as aspiring to Oxbridge in that respect which can be seen as both a positive or a negative depending on your point of view.
Also worth checking the details of the course if the prospective student has a view about post-Uni plans and maybe looking at how well the graduates do with employment in chosen fields.
I do know several young people who had it as 3rd choice after Oxbridge and LSE but that is purely anecdotal.

Re: Durham v Nottingham
Thanks KB for your advice. DS spent ages deciding and was in a dilema and settled on Durham in the end both were A* AA offers although I feel he may have been more suited to Nottingham. I so hope he gets his grades especially after the maths c3 paper .He didn't apply to Oxbridge but did for LSE and was turned down.
Thanks again
Thanks again
