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).

 

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.
