Which is the best uni in southern England for Business and Financial Economics?

[agnes]

How about taking some A levels?

It is an option, if I were to do so, I would need to keep my full time job though...

Hmmm, I really need to sit down tonight and plan out my options. Can't do it at work, every 5 mins I get "what you doing??" "umm.... ordering kittens..."

If you wish to go further out from London. Sussex, Surrey, Brunel all have fairly decent Business Schools.

I would argue the Surrey business school is not as good as it once was. The number of modules available have declined and the support offered to students is a shadow of what it once was. Not to say it's awlful but certainly not the best. Its merit is the placement year it manages well which helps it have such a successful graduate employment rate.

EDIT: My brother was in a situation where after a long term illness he was 20 with 5 GCSEs and not eligable for Uni. He's now doing an access course during the week (Law, English, History - GCSE to A level standard) which will allow him to get into uni the following year. This has worked out better than if he chose to take A-levels. It's also only £900 where he's taking it (or apparently free if you don't have an education past GCSEs). They also run them at weekends for people who have week commitments like working. Many universities accept access courses I am told, he's visited several who accept them.

I've met several mature students who have returned to education from work. It's certainly possible.

Fantastic, thanks mate.

Sorry to waste everyones time, but like I said in the other thread I created, I have no idea regarding how the education system works, simply because I have always worked.

So I am sorry I seem a bit dim on the topic.

Significantly reduced? Pray tell, what is this statement based on? I presume you can supply some nice empirical evidence?

The standards at any university of london are the same oxf cam know this, you cant say that for other places. a levels are different its a standard set out across the uk, HE cert the standard differs from university to university.
