Does the course you study matter or is the university more important
Hi guys, I I also like to research stocks and write in depth reports, which I am looking to publish online nd I think that is far better to learn about investing. also btw, I am interested in Equity research and want to have a career in equity research after I graduate. I am also looking for internships, spring weeks in a position related to equity research.
For top unis (Oxbridge and to a lesser degree Imperial/LSE) uni course doesn't matter in the slightest; the further you move from there the more you need to rely on knowing something 'relevant' so it starts mattering
Would Nottingham be considered a “top uni”? Since many people consider it a semi target?
No. Semi-target means semi-alright, not even remotely 'top'. Very much matters what you're studying and people from Nottingham in finance usually tend to have to do career societies etc (NEFS or eqv.) whereas at Oxbridge no one does career societies to apply for jobs.
That being said, it's still very much possible to get in to top US banks (less so for MBBs and analyst-level buy-side jobs given they tend to be more academically selective) regardless of degree, you'll just have to be slightly lucky and grind.
University hands down especially for non-technical roles like ER. This has already been established as an axiom so no questions asked
Notts is fine btw
Ok, thanks.
Hi, got an offer from UCL for bsc archaeology. do you recon I would have a better shot into IB than a maths/finance related course at qmul or bayes (cass)?
absolutely. UCL beats QMUL/ Cass hands down. However the onus is on you to put in the work. Good luck
Yes, stick to non technical/quantitative roles however seen education studies working in S&T
Notts uni (and their society, NEFS) is solid and all place well post-uni (JP, Citi, Evercore, etc). Having said that, I do find most of them have done economics/related degrees but I went to a uni that doesn’t place as well as Notts nor study a business-related degree, it’s possible.
