ESADE Business School BBA vs UCL BA History, Politics and Economics

Hey everyone,

I need some advice on choosing between two university programs: the Bachelor of Business Administration at ESADE Business School and the BA in History, Politics and Economics at University College London.

ESADE Business School BBA: Pros: 1. Price: Generally more affordable. 2. Weather: Sunny Barcelona. 3. Difficulty: Rigorous but manageable.

Cons: 1. Languages: Need to learn an additional language (Spanish or German). 2. Prestige: Not as globally recognized as UCL. 3. Interest and Career Prospects: Concerned about being limited to business roles.

UCL BA in History, Politics, and Economics: Pros: 1. Prestige: Globally recognized and highly regarded. 2. Language: Entirely in English. 3. Interest: Aligns more with my interests in multiple disciplines.

Cons: 1. Department Concerns: Worried about the focus on Eastern Europe (SSEES) potentially limiting future opportunities. 2. Location: London is expensive and has less favorable weather.

Has anyone here attended either of these programs? What were your experiences like? How did it impact your career prospects? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

P.S : I’m interesd in entry level level roles in IB, AM and possibly MBB in Paris and London (i’m fluent in English and French and lived and fluent in Romanian tho prob not going into politics except mid-late career “eventualy”.)
