Imperial Business school VS UCL dept of social sciences for econ

Which of them is more prestigious, im deciding for undergrad, i cant really decide by the courses. 

so anyways, in terms of league tables (ik their kinda sketchy) imperial comes off on top, but idk if this is true for undergrad as EFDS is their only undergrad degree,

Also, do you think the prestige of EFDS would increase with time as cohorts pass??

Hi, by far UCL. It has way more alumni and is just better in every aspect. Imperial EFDS is new and has few alumni. Plus imperial BS has close to none undergrad alumni. Overall, I would say avoid it.

 

would that be the only point against it?? - say if both had similar alumni then would UCL still come out on top?? 

also out of the specific schools in terms of masters degrees instead (since EFDS is too new), then which uni comes up on top??? 

 

thank you, i know this isnt finance related, but do you know whether imperial EFDS would be enough to score a job in the data science field?? or would a masters be required??
