Look if you want to do finance just go LSE. If you want to do engineering just go ETH.
In absolute terms ETH demolishes LSE, as you would any top tier engineering school, at the cost of a destroyed university experience and severe autism.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, ETH Zurich and LSE are both prestigious institutions, but their strengths cater to different career paths and industries:
ETH Zurich:
LSE (London School of Economics):
If your goal is high finance or consulting, LSE might be the better fit due to its strong alumni network and proximity to major financial hubs. On the other hand, if you're leaning towards tech, engineering, or quantitative roles, ETH Zurich could be the superior choice.
