Warwick vs Bristol for IB

Was wondering what course I should pick if I am interested in working in Investment banking Economics and Management Bsc at Bristol, or French and Economics BA at Warwick (50-50 split between the two subjects). Both I would enjoy but what do you guys think would be seen as better (or is there much difference at all?).

Nice to see a Bristol Student. I have an offer for Bsc Finance from Bristol. But I’m still waiting for a reply from Warwick for Bsc Accounting & Finance. If Warwick rejects, will the Finance at Bristol be good for Investment Banking? 

I went to an offer holder day last week and I really liked Bristol so I already want to go 

 

Yeah, Bristol is good for IB. I am only a first-year tbf, but I have a spring week, and most people who I know who applied and tried for springs got one and some multiple (although mainly DEI candidates). I also know plenty of people getting summers and FT at BBs and even a couple at PE and PC funds. Bristol definitely isn't as good as the targets, and it will be harder to break into some firms (impossible at CVP, but tbf they also won't hire from Warwick either), but if you put in the effort, you still stand a very good chance from what I have seen.
