You really need to contact these universities yourself - it depends what you mean by "best universities". Their publicity material will give you their succes/pass rates, but more importantly, you need to find out how much each will charge you, too. Do you live in Scotland?

[saadyboy]

No, i do not live in Scotland. I plan to do masters from there. I have seen all relevant information regarding their admissions but i want advice from people living in Scotland or UK. Internet is providing me different ratings for these 3 universities therefore i need to ask locals who wud better knw about university capabalities for my course.

[boxtops]

Saady, we may be locals (well, many ABers live in Scotland) but we wouldn't necessarily know about the Masters qualifications at the local Universities. Do you meet the entry criteria for all three?

[bednobs]

have to agree with boxtops. Finding someone who has personal knowledge of all three is going to be difficult!

[saadyboy]

yes i meet the entry criteria for all three universities. May be u people can ask ur friends/relatives who have knowledge about the expertise of these universities.I hope u understand what m trying to say. Thanks for replying to my query.
I just want to knw which of these universities are best in business subjects or social sciences?

[bednobs]

as boxtops has said - the universities themselves will have pass rates etc

If i were you I'd post on the student forums of each of those universities where people will be able to give you first hand experience. You might also find a forum for qualified accountants and see what their views are. Some university degrees are more respected by accountants than others. Its a specialist field and you'd be best talk to those specialists.

@ maidup. yes i have used facebook university forums but i am waiting for their answers. Meanwhile if i can get answers from other people, it will add to my knowledge too.

[Maydup]

Did you include University of Strathclyde and St Andrews in your initial search? How have you narrowed it down to these three?

[boxtops]

I don't have any friends or relatives who have completed your qualification at any of these Universities - the student blog sites are likely to give you comments from the student perspectives.

[saadyboy]

@maidup.yes i have narrowed down my selection to these universities.University of Strathclyde and St Andrews are absolutely fabulous but they are too expensive for me.

[factor-fiction]

I doubt u wud get any1 on here who has sufficient knowledge of all three Unis who can provide advice you can rely on relating to your needs. Different people have different needs and can have completely different views of the same course/university.
You really need the views of a number of people who have relevant experience.
Whilst AnswerBank is excellent I suggest there are better forums for this query.
As you are an undergraduate you must still be at Uni so you should seek advice from the staff there.
Good luck.

when asking you're questions on college forums, you need to spell out that you want the truth, not promotion...and offer private messaging options.

i found when i was looking at universities that some of the students there had a strange sense of loyalty to the college and would lie and hide the truth from me...blindly believing they had to promote the college above all else, - rather than helping me make an educated decision on which course to choose - as a result, i ended up leaving 2 courses part way through.

when i myself was questioned about courses by potential future students, i told the truth - and was told off by a number of my classmates!

it hadnt even occurred to them that they had done the person a great disservice by acting as a salesperson rather than impartial advisor....when i pointed out how i wished id had honesty instead of wasting my time and grant entitlement, they all looked sheepish and agreed they hadnt really looked at it that way...

so ...take their words with a pinch of salt...

why not get off your butt and go an visit them - after all they are not that far apart and its your future you are talking about.
