UCL MA Economics for investment banking or asset management

Hey guys,

Ive done quite a bit of research on the 3 core schools LSE, Imperial, and Warwick, (already applied to these) but I am curious about how well UCL's graduate programs places in IB. If i don't get in to any of the previous schools I am considering UCL. Ive heard their masters programs aren't as highly regarded as their undergrad school.

There is an MA Econ program from UCL which I am really interested in. Its 2 years and would allow me to intern in IB (i don't have an IB internship, but I have corp fin.) Will an MSc in Econ from UCL get me into MM Investment Banks?

advice and opinions are welcome

Thank you
