URGENT: Help me make a choice for Uni. Warwick or Cologne?

Allright, have to make a choice for Uni between:
University of Cologne, BSc Econ, (this is in Germany, I'm Austrian so it's ok from the language perspective).
or
University of Warwick, BSc Management (UK).
As I'm in Europe, I am mainly interested in working in places like London, Frankfurt or Zurich later on (in that order of preference).
My main concern here is that the course at Warwick is not quantitative enough, here are the modules (although you'll find stuff like DCF, binomial option pricing and other interesting stuff buried deep in there).

Interested especially in opinions from Monkeys in London or Frankfurt, or anyone who has any knowledge of Warwick Uni (I dread going to Cologne, as I've just visited it and the buildings are facilities are horribly run down, whilst Warwick in comparison has a nice campus and some reputation in the City of London).

 

Dude, I know it's not even close, and I'm not trolling.

Perhaps I ought to rephrase it a little. My main concern is that "Management" just doesn't sound as good as Econ on my CV. I know Warwick is the far better Uni. It's just this concern that management could be considered a "soft course", as Warwick also has some seriously more quantitative courses like Accounting & Finance, and Econ (didn't know this when I applied there). So if you'd apply for front office M&A, what would be more helpful, that's what it's about. The reputation of Warwick vs. the quantitative skills likely to be acquired on this Econ course in what I must admit, is really a backwater uni (Cologne).

 

the most advanced calculation anyone in the history of M&A has ever done most likely was a CAGR.

that said any management course will consist largely of bullshit and kill any intellectual curiosity you may or may not have possesed.

So that's essentially the best possible preparation for ibd.

 

If you want to work in IBD in London go to Warwick and study business. If you want to work in academia, go to Cologne and stuy econ. Honestly, in the end, they're both great school (although Cologne's reputation might not be as bright as Warwick on an international level).

 

Course doesnt matter too much. Management is fine assuming it's at a good uni. Warwick is one of the best unis in UK for IB recruiting. Not even a debate - go to Warwick.

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
