Update on my UNI situation

[Noni Juice]

My last thread is here-

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17717757

I have decided to go through UCAS Extra and clearing, if I need it.

Which UNI is good for Business Studies/Law? Somewhere in London, I want to move out, but I dont want to be on the other side of England.

Thinking of applying to the following-

Brunel
Queens Mary
Warwick
Durham

Also is it normal to apply to a UNI you have never seen before? The only open day I have been to is at Queen Mary's.

What courses are also interesting? I dont know what job or career I want to chase so I picked Business/Law as a neutral option.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

Any other good UNI's?

Kent? Thanks.

Thanks for the replys, so UNI's that I should look out for are-

Kent
Surrey
UCL?
Queen Mary
Sussex
Brunel
Oxford Brookes?

And that is for Law/Business. Also is it normal to go to a uni without ever being there before?

I havent seen much UNI's apart from Queen Mary.

Thanks.

Thinking of doing some of the following courses-

-Polictics (L200) + Law
-Philosphy (V500) + Economics,Law
-International Relations (L250) + Law,Polictics
-International Law + International Polictics (MLC2)

At some of these Uni's

-Oxford Brookes
-Brunel
-Kingston
-Kent
-London Met
-Greenwich
-Sussex
-Westminister

My grades for AS are- Art- B, Law- D, Media- C. Im predicted the same for AS2.

Im going to be applying through either clearing or UCAS Extra.

My questions-

-What careers can I expect through the courses?
-Which UNI's stand out?

Thanks.

Out of those, my opinion would be Sussex or Kent. I have first hand experience of Sussex from an open day and my brother went to Kent for year.

On the league tables though, I think Kent is slightly higher, might be wrong though.

What do you want from the uni? Academia, social, both? Big campus, small, green, etc?

Don't do law unless you're absolutely sure you want to get a job in it. It's a lot of hard work and I think there's a few PG courses involved too.

Philosophy? Meh. Be prepared to read a lot though.

International relations - Now, although this is more of a clique course, I did a module for it last year and I really enjoyed it. Well, I'm actually a human geographer and my modules revolve around History and Politics as it is, so I'm slightly bias.

Try and work out what you want out of the course? Something that'll you'll enjoy? or a stepping stone into a career?

I'm fairly sure you can always swap your course if you don't enjoy it (providing you don't leave it too late either).

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

Im looking for something Ill enjoy. What is international relations all about?

From the UNI im looking for something social and academical hopefully.

And no I did not write university like "UNI" in my personal statement .
