Non-target. Recruiters / firms won’t take time out to travel there and actively recruit students at UoB like they would do for LSE / Warwick / Oxbridge etc.
Do not get me wrong, UoB is good enough should you apply and are competent with tests and interviews, then yes it is fine enough - it passes the HR barometer (Russell group) for spring weeks / summers too if you have previous experience (springs etc)
i’m an international student and the fees is too high for me plus i’m thinking about a transfer after my second year. It’s fine if they don’t actively recruit from here, just wanted to know would they even consider hiring someone from birmingham
Non-target but have a fair shot if diversity/women
Exeter edges it out slightly, would say Exeter is a weak semi target
then i have a shot
so exeter is better than birmingham ?
Yes
god, but Exeter feels so boring and the campus looks really bad
what are your options?
exeter, newcastle and birmingham, i had to keep the fees in mind but i’m thinking about transferring after my second year
exeter is your choice. what are your A levels? can you retake and reapply (to not pay 1 year of tuition for no reason)? for example even if you dont get in ucl/lse etc a place like durham will yield you better prospects than exeter/newcastle/birmingham
or if ur still taking a levels then do the best u can this year and then reapply to a better uni
i can get into durham but it’s too pricey
currently at durham, do u mean rent prices? cuz tuition is same as exeter. rent is deffo quite high but u can find deals, my friend lives in a nice 4 bd for 125 ppw
i think i am gonna try for Durham too and what's your view about Sheffield? is it better than Exeter and Birmingham?\
no.
here’s the general list of how uk ug schools perform
targets:
oxford cambridge lse ucl imperial warwick
low target/high semi:
durham (not trying to be bias), bath (placement program)
semi:
bristol (might be in above tier) edinburgh kcl notts
low semi:
exeter st andrew’s manchester
non targets but above other non targets:
other rg unis & prominent london (ie. york, leeds, loughborough, qmul, bayes etc)
complete non target:
everything else
sheffield is most definitely in the second to last tier at best. birmingham too. go to the best school possible. durham is a good option if u can get in. bristol too and is cheaper. you will regret not taking advantage of it. in the UK fees are literally the same everywhere and are cheap af just do it
