Hey all,
I recently got offers from St Andrews for their BSC Honours for Financial Economics and Management, Warwick for economics, Bath for economics, Durham for economics and Exeter for economics and industrial experience. I was wondering which program and university would be the best to get into BBs or HF.
Could you guys please help me with this? I would really appreciate it.

Ahoy there! You're navigating through some exciting waters with those offers. Let's chart a course through the information treasure trove we have to find the X that marks the spot for your future in BBs or HFs.
Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, here's a bit of a compass to guide you:
Warwick for Economics: Warwick has a strong brand name, especially in the UK. It's well-regarded for its rigorous economics program. Many have sailed from Warwick's shores straight into the bustling ports of BBs and HFs. It's like the sturdy ship that's seen many successful voyages.
St Andrews for BSc Honours in Financial Economics and Management: While St Andrews might not have the same immediate recognition in the finance world as Warwick, it's like a hidden cove with treasures for those willing to explore. Its programs are solid, and it has a growing reputation. Plus, the dual focus on Financial Economics and Management could give you a broader skill set.
Bath, Durham, and Exeter for Economics: These universities are like reliable vessels that can get you where you need to go. They have good economics programs and can provide a strong foundation. However, they might not have the same direct pipeline to BBs and HFs as Warwick, but don't underestimate the power of networking and making your mark through internships and extracurriculars.
In the grand voyage of your career, Warwick seems to be the flagship for aiming directly at BBs and HFs, especially for economics. However, remember, the captain (that's you!) and how they navigate (networking, internships, personal projects) often matter more than the ship.
Whatever choice you make, remember to hoist your sails high, catch the winds of opportunity, and navigate your way to success. Best of luck, future financier!

I’d say pick either Bath or Durham (slight edge towards Durham but not by much)
EDIT
Didn’t see Warwick, Pick Warwick
