Uni of Bath vs Uni of Sydney for Bachelors in Management/Commerce

I'm aiming for a career in investment banking or private equity,  I'm currently holding offers from Uni of Bath ( Sept intake'25 ) and Uni of Sydney ( Feb intake'25 ). Bath’s proximity to London is a plus, especially given the broader market and pay scale in the UK. But Bath is a semi-target school and, to be honest, it’s not in London. Meanwhile, Sydney is a major city with numerous offices of bulge-bracket firms, and USyd has a stronger ranking.

So overall: the UK market is larger, but Australia’s is microscopic!, with USyd being a target school and Bath being semi-target. I’d be studying Finance (BCom) at USyd and Management at Bath. How might these factors impact my career path in finance? Where should I go, and how will my career progression pan out if I go to USyd, if there even is any?
