History degree - how do you narrow the list

[HotFlowers]

Dd is just finishing year 12. She is keen to study History at uni, followed by maybe going on to study Law, been predicted AAB.

We live in East London, none of the family have attended uni.

She has narrowed her list of possible uni’s by the following;

Course content
Top 30 uni
Top 30 course
Campus uni very near a City
Likelihood of getting in (knocked out Durham and Bristol)
3 hr drive from home. Although the first 3 on the list are actually 3.5hrs-4hrs away!!

She has been attending virtual open days and has liked them all so far....

Do we need to go visit all the Uni’s, happy to just not sure how a closed uni will give her much idea...

List currently;
Exeter
Leeds
York

Birmingham
Nottingham
Southampton

Loughborough
UEA

Any we are missing, is visiting them all now the way forward?

Any help or guidance appreciated.

Be aware modules change. That much wanted module on (whatever) might not run as the lecturer is on maternity leave or even have left the university. Choosing based on a single topic isn’t a great policy. Choose for overall quality of university and getting the career you want. Most large history departments have a huge number of options. As I said before: embrace the new. It’s what learning is all about. Very much so if you move from history to law!
