Warwick | Birmingham | Kings College | Herriot-Watt
I am currently in the planning stages of where I would like to do my semester abroad. - I have got offers from all the universities above.
Since the name of the university is not that important when your studying abroad, I am not looking for brandname advise here. However, I would be happy to get info on campus life, work life balance and the courses offered that are relevant to IB/PE.
All in all I am looking for a university where I can have fun during my semester abroad, thanks
Brand name matters even in exchanges, no idea about campus life anywhere, UK courses are pretty chill overall (WLB will be good everywhere, especially during an exchange), all unis should have the relevant courses.
I would pick Warwick or Kings (if you absolutely want to be in London to have fun)
I’d probably pick Kings and go to a decent school in a great City.
If you want to be in London go Kings, if not I’d go to Birmingham (also a large city), if you want a campus uni, go to Warwick. Best approach imo.
Warwick is renowned for being boring, if your idea of fun is going out etc. then wouldn’t pick Warwick
Definitely King’s for fun being in London, then Birmingham for another big city where you can have fun. Warwick is a very good uni but avoid it as it’s not very well placed for fun with the best place off campus being lemington spa.
Kings - great 'brand name' abroad (though less so in finance) and you'll have a great time in London.
Warwick - great finance brand name in the UK, but limited outside, and considered a pretty boring place to study.
I'd go to Kings and have a great time in London!
Cheers!
Warwick is most prestigious but would go for Kings if looking for balance between experience and recognition. Definitely don’t go with Herriot-Watt. Like another poster said, name recognition is still important and could potentially help you if you try to spin it for London recruiting - not to mention the Alumni base.
