University choice

I have the choice between studying economics at the university of Bath or Nottingham. Which is more prestigious? I am mainly thinking of going into sales and trading, but asset management and consulting are still on the table. From what I have read I am not sure if Nottingham is slightly better or if they are just the same. Does it change much that Nottingham uni is twice as big as Bath (like more alumni etc)? Answers would be greatly appreciated.

I regularly see people from Notts at ACs and they seem quite well represented at spring weeks and summers. Can’t say the same for bath. They seem to be more well known for their placement year internships.

 

They're the same career opps wise. Think about other (far more important) factors.. you're going to live and study at these schools for 3-4 years they're not just names to wax lyrical about.
