Im a third year BA (hons) History student, I got 67% in my second year and im looking to do a MSc in Management next year, to hopefully help me break into a business graduate scheme.

I am applying to Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and York. I was wondering what kind of experience others have had when applying and accepting offers from these uni's?

When is the best time of year to apply? How long can you leave it before accepting or rejecting a place?

Also, how many people apply to this course per year, if anyone has an idea?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! :-)
