Warwick (maths and econ) vs Bocconi (econ and finance)

Hi guys, I'm and italian student and I'm looking for opinions about these 2 universities and their undergrad courses:

1)Warwick, Bsc Maths and Econ

2)Bocconi, Bsc Economics and Finance (Clef)

Personally i like maths and i think that i would probably enjoy more the math and econ bsc, but i'm also scared by BREXIT and i don't have any idea about the job market for foreign students in the UK in the incoming years. And i also consider that in italy you can't find any job without an msc, while in the UK shouldn't work this way. The pros of Bocconi are that it's in italian so i would probably score better, at least in the first tests., and that it is in Milan, much nearer to home, and very strong in terms of placement in italy.

From the rankings they seem more or less on the same level, so i would like to hear your advices, especially on these points:

1) which one would be better in terms of consulting/IB recruiting? In and outside UK?

2)which one has the best reputation in terms of possibility to be admitted to top msc programs in the EU/ USA?

3) Doing 1.5 years of math at the Uni seems like a good skill-set to have in life, in your opinion, would it be useful or 1.5 ys are not enough? How are Joint degrees seen in general (they do not exist in Italy)?

Thank you in advance

I'm no expert but bumping with my opinion so hopefully someone who does know sees and gives you a reply.

If you've decided to drop physics and commit to finance I wouldn't bother with half a maths degree, just go to Bocconi and position yourself to apply for graduate programs as well as masters programs afterwards. At least that way you will know the outcome of Brexit without being stuck in the middle of it, unless getting there before deals are made guarantees your right to work there later?

 

Thank your for your support...the IB forum is way more crowded than this one. Anyway the math content was something like a backup plan if things don't work out in finance. Yes, about brexit i can't honestly understand if it's actually better to be there when it happens or if major changes will happen DURING the next 2 or 3 years and will make foreigners less employable due to taxes or bureaucracy.
