Oxford E&M Deferred Offer vs LSE Economics
I have an offer at Oxford for BA E&M for the 2026 intake and LSE for BSc Economics for 2025.
My (current) long-term career goals are public/private investing, but I'm also interested in management consulting and maybe entrepreneurship. I'd like to move to the Middle East eventually (either immediately after grad or within 5 years) because I have connections to the region. So, I'm probably looking at investment banking in London or consulting in the ME/London for my early career. Also contemplating a Masters/MBA in the US a few years down the line.
Given my goals, would Oxford's better branding be worth the extra year?
Note: Cost isn't an issue, but the lower the better (LSE is ~30k GBP cheaper across 3 years). International student.
Oxford, not even a question. You have to be more prepared when it comes to careers, more than LSE, but the name brand outside of London is crazy. Also just do LSE masters if you really need it.
A better uni with an extra year to both enjoy life + build experience before application szn? Seems like a no brainer
