UCL position in UK IB
I find a lot of conflicting info on this from different sources. Is UCL’s MSc Finance program a Target for the London IB’s?

Undergrad we’re a solid target but for an MSc not so much I don’t think, several much better options.
LBS/HEC/Ox/LSE and maybe Imperial?
Target for undergrad, but I think weaker at the post grad level
Would you say it’s on par with Warwick for Msc?
They both in the same tier, as with probably Imperial Business School. I would say Imperial > UCL > Warwick. The difference is very marginal though, and it depends on individual situation and course
UCL’s MSc Finance is solid and has a good reputation, but it might not be as targeted as some other programs. It’s still a strong choice for London IB roles.
Will it be much tougher than LSE/LBS and Oxbridge to get into IB? Note, I am not from uk or EEU either…
Solid for undergrad, not so much masters. LSE is a lot better for MSc Finance, which even with that will be hard to get into IB.
Why would it be tough for an LSE grad to get into IB? Isn’t it literally the top 1-2 school for Finance in UK?…
