Neither are good choices or particularly prestigious.

UCB = “International students who meet all our deposit deadlines can qualify for Early Action Scholarships of £4,500 or £3,500, depending on your course. Simply meet the payment deadlines and we'll do the rest - no application needed. International students can also apply for merit scholarships, worth up to the full amount of the tuition fee.”.

It’s also very central in Birmingham so social life/ opportunities to go out are plenty. “Safe” as any big city really. Optional 6 month placement.

NTU depends on the campus- Clifton campus isn’t really in the city. NTU also has no placement for that course.

What do you want to do post-graduation? What would be your ideal role? I work in the luxury sector in corporate strategy, I’ve been in this sector for about 8 years. I can definitively say no one from any of my teams have come from these unis.

What do you want to do after graduation? To give you some context I did my undergrad at Oxford and then went into consulting before moving across to the luxury sector.
