Durham vs St Andrews for IB/MBB
For a bit of context, I’ll be applying through the 2024 UCAS cycle and I wanted to gain a bit of clarity in regards to the placement of both schools. I understand that Despite not quite touching the 6 traditional targets, Durham has solid placements (?) however, I haven’t heard much about St Andrews. Given that’s it is a small school, the raw number of people applying for finance roles will be smaller. However, there is a possibility that it could have better placement than perceived when observing in relative terms (?). I have also considered Warwick but I don’t really see myself there. However, if it could drastically improve my prospects in comparison to the other two, I’d be willing to give it a shot.
Please excuse any mistakes I might have made as I don’t personally know anyone in IB/MBB and my main source of information stems from online forums such as this one and I am aware that anonymity often gives people the luxury of spreading false information.

Thanks for the insight! Unfortunately, I’ll probably have to rule out the US as I heard it’s a hassle internationals. But do you have any friends that have attempted to recruit in the London market and if so, how have they fared?

Probs equal prestige wise but durham will likely have a bigger finance recruiting scene so likely better environment to be in
Duly noted! Thank you very much.
Durham had better representation at my MBB. We didn’t have any St Andrews
