Course vs University

For those who know about how CVs are assessed for IB (or anything finance, PE, consulting etc…) could you please educate me on how important ones course vs university is, for example would maths at Bath (which as far as I know is a high semi-target) be better or worse than anthropology (or Hebrew and Jewish studies, etc…) at UCL? 
If you think the Bath candidate would be favoured how would they compare to someone at a stronger target, say LSE and studying language and culture?

Basically is university bias so strong that even studying one of the most rigorous degrees at a non-target (not one of the 6), still seen as less favourable to someone studying the most wishy-washy courses at a target?

P.s no offence to someone studying one of the courses mentioned, I don’t actually know if they’re considered ‘wishy-washy’, if they’re not, replace them with courses that are
