UK Universities/Courses Ranked for IB
Which universities in the UK are targets and how would you rank them?
Is the course important (e.g. Oxford Physics vs. LSE Economics) and taken into consideration by recruitment?
1st Tier
Oxbridge
2nd Tier
LSE
LBS
UCL
3rd Tier
Kings College
Warwick
University of Manchester
University of Bath
Durham
Non Targets
Lancaster, Queen Mary University, St Andrews, Imperial College, University of Leeds + all the rest
PPE is considered the most prestigious course, after that is all the same, I have seen plenty of people going far in banking with a major in History or Literature
LBS is more respected for postgrad no?
My revisions would also be:
- Imperial College London in 2nd Tier, above UCL.
- Warwick moved up into lowest position of 2nd Tier.
- Durham into top of 3rd Tier: Durham is way better than KCL.
- Notts included in top quartile of 3rd tier: Good placement into finance recently + good finance society.
- KCL moved into lower position of 3rd tier: Finance society is way worse than many say. Durham/Notts/Bath(exclusive placements) way better than KCL.
+ Courses don't matter (I'd just say Econ/Finance grads would typically be seen as best - but honestly doesn't matter).
Imperial doesn’t offer an Economics/Finance course whereas UCL does. Surely that puts someone studying one of these courses at UCL above ICL?
Perhaps the most pretentious and inaccurate ranking I have ever seen.
I explained the reasoning in my answer.
So I don't know what part is necessarily pretentious and/or inaccurate.
