Should I go overseas to the UK (LSE) or stay in Australia (USYD/UNSW) for undergrad?
Hey guys,
I've written my application for LSE's Bsc Accounting and Finance but as an Australian student, I could go to UNSW/USYD for commerce and law. Majority of my senior friends who have gone to these schools to do actuarial or commerce/law ended up going into investment banking so it definitely seems like the safe option to me at the moment.
Also, while LSE opens up the opportunity to work in London, it also comes with the international student fee. I know a lot of people will say 'if you want to work in London, go to LSE,' but for me especially since I could try transfer, since my aim is to work in UK investment banking, weighing the positives and negatives of the two courses:
LSE A+F: in London, 3 year course, better uni globally, not even the course with the highest entry requirements, expensive tuition
UNSW/USYD commerce/law: in Sydney, know a lot of people, 1/5 of the tuition of LSE, best degree for finance, 5 years, restricts you to Australia for the early stages of my career
Also if any of you know if getting 2:1 or first 'guarantees' you work like how getting high distinctions in Australia makes it much easier to land interviews in investment banks, or whether networking is more important
Based on the above (and anything else you guys might know) would you say an extra 200k aud difference in tuition + rent and living costs in London makes LSE not worth it? Would a scholarship make LSE easily more attractive?
