Let's roughly analyze the characteristics of the three schools.
Durham: In the north of England, beautiful castles, quiet and comfortable towns. If it is controlled by the castle, then Durham must be chosen. Durham has a very good reputation in Britain and is a very, very good school in the eyes of the British. If it is an undergraduate course, the teaching quality is also very good.
However, Durham's AF discipline strength should be the weakest among the three schools, because Durham's strong discipline is not in business, while the other two schools, especially AF, are strong disciplines. Geda and Boda are the two schools with the strongest traditional accounting in Britain (other schools with better AFs are basically F-biased, and only these two are traditional accounting). In addition, the postgraduate teaching level of Durham University is not as good as its undergraduate course.
One more thing, Durham is well-known in Britain, but his popularity in China may not be as great as Bertrand's. According to the world ranking, Gedabo University is also in the top 100, and Durham can't find any trace. As it is difficult to stay and work in Britain now, it is suggested to consider this factor. In addition, the accent problem, Durham is actually in the north of England, and the accent is not much better than Scotland. . . I have a senior there who said that listening to the accent there is as strange as listening to Scotland. . .
Geda: As I said before, the strength of AF discipline is good. The fourth oldest university in Britain, the alma mater of Adam Smith, the originator of economics, has a long history. As the largest city in Scotland, the cost of living is relatively low and it is also convenient, and the convenience of life is between Birmingham and Durham. Because in Scotland, The Times and others definitely rank lower in the UK, but their domestic popularity is still good. If you go back to China, it will be at least similar to Durham. I think the scenery is different from Durham's, one is Scottish style and the other is quiet castle style. . .
Boda: The strength of AF discipline is also good. Generally speaking, a relatively balanced school has no feeling of being particularly brilliant or dragging its feet. All kinds of rankings will not be very high or low, and their popularity is good, so can business schools. Birmingham is a big city, which is quite different from the above two places. Relatively speaking, it is more industrialized and prosperous, and life is more convenient. I won't say that some things can't be bought in a small town, but they are also more lively and noisy. The number of people in China should be the highest among the three cities. . . ), on the one hand, many people in China may not like it; But on the other hand, more China people may also mean that your network resources will be richer. . . So overall, this school is relatively balanced in all aspects.
Depends on which one you like. It is more important to choose what you like.
