Bro rlly put Warwick over Imperial 💀
Warwick over imperial is criminal
not for a bachelor in business but for STEM yes 100%
Imperial (world top 10) isn't even in the same league as Warwick mate ...
For banking/consulting I would say Oxbridge/LSE/Imperial >> UCL/Warwick >> Bristol/Durham/KCL/Nott
I’d even argue that Warwick is only at the UCL tier of certain courses like MORSE and Economics for others it’s in the tier below
Congrats on Warwick
for bachelor in business yes and by a lot. For STEMS another story
*STEM
Search function might help, has been done to death
You are missing one of the best unis in the country, as well as a top finance target:
UCL University College London
Warwick
Durham if it's for Law/Humanities
Thoughts on Econ?
Hello,
it appears that you are relatively new to WSO so I will recommend you use the search function as this question has been asked before in a relative sense but I will give you the benefit of doubt and offer you an answer that you may find useful.
Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and Imperial are all classed as the top-"target" universities. You may find these universities intellectually stimulating but less "fun" than the others, especially LSE and Imperial for the "fun" part.
Next are Warwick, UCL, Edinburgh, University College Dublin, Durham. Target universities with smart cohorts and decent lifestyles.
Following that in the tier below that are semi-targets e.g. Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Bristol, Exeter, KCL and (maybe) Leeds. These universities are good and are far more entertaining than those above in terms of nightlife and student life.
Do beware: Imperial is only a good university for STEM because that is its expertise, NOT its business school. The business school is a money-making prop with less credibility than LSE and LBS. Note I didn't put Oxbridge's business schools as there are suggestions that they're also not real business school pedigrees.
I hope that helps and that should be the final point on this tiered system for the forseeable future.
