Current UCL HPE Student here.

A. No it won’t (not enough to choose Manchester anyway).

B. It isn’t.

Econ track modules are pretty broadly applicable, no real SSEES bent to the compulsory modules that I’ve seen, optional ones are a broad range.

Politics & History modules have a CEE bent, not Russia/USSR specifically - and you can take regular history department modules if you like.

UCL is UCL, and SSEES is no longer even a full-on faculty.

HPE might place less well in finance than pure UCL Econ (pure speculation from me), but that’ll be cultural (everyone ik from pure econ wants IB/Buyside, all my course friends want to be consultants).

Seen HPE students at Goldman, Ares, and others of similar standing.

Being in London is also helpful, as well as having a decent sized UCL Alumni base.
