Maths, Business and Theatre Studies - what degree?

[gardenhelpneeded]

My son’s A level choices. He has already said he doesn’t want to study pure maths at university. He’s enjoying the Drama (and doing Lamda) but doesn’t want to do it at university either. He is interested in business and quite entrepreneurial. He did mention marketing but seems a shame with his maths. His choice of course but thought I’d ask on here as the number of choices/courses is overwhelming! He sits his exams in 2023.

@Whatdayisitnow I'm embarrassed to realise that DS would have been there 10 years ago , so possibly!

I have a friends DS who did Business at Nottingham Trent. He did a year abroad in the USA. It looks a good shout for the below highly aspirational choice(s)!

Yes, it's a decent mid-ranking non-RG university which in our experience offered good teaching and is geared to making its graduates employable. Exactly what polytechnics used to be good at, in fact!

@thing47
Exactly! If the DS in question likes the look of a city, a decent former poly is a good choice. The BBC Radio 5 football commentators were saying how lively Nottingham is earlier today. Pretty good student city I think.

Just to add, Nottingham Trent is the sort of university that people on MN can be a bit sniffy about, but DD has found that it opened doors rather than shut them, and it doesn't preclude 'upgrading' later if that is something DCs are keen to do.

DD has since done a highly regarded, very academic MSc at a different university (ranked second in the UK for her subject area) and is now following a more academic path.
