Seriously, don't choose your degree based on how well it might place into IB. Especially not since you've basically listed 12 identical or highly comparable courses. Do something you enjoy and do well at it.

Can you rank these courses by their investment banking career prospects?a) LSE- Econ
b) LSE- Business Mathematics and Statistics
c) Cambridge- Econ
d) Cambridge- Land Economy
e) UCL- Economics
f) UCL- Statistics, Economics and Finance
g) Edinburgh- Economics
h) Bristol- Economics
g) Warwick- MORSE
h) Bath- Econ
i) Oxford- Econ and Management
j) Oxford- PPE

All of them are good for IB, but the most suitable course has to be Mathematics, Economics and Mathematics, Economics and Statistics, Finance, Engineering. If you want to go to Sales and trade or anywhere where most money is

Maybe you can laugh but my advice is definitely correct since I have been informed by people who work in the field.

OBAMA LIED!

IRAN NEVER SAID THEY WANT TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP

Last week, Teymoor Nabili of Al Jazeera suggested during an interview with Dan Meridor, Israel’s minister of intelligence and atomic energy, that Mr. Ahmadinejad’s rhetorical flourish had been misinterpreted. “This idea that Iran wants to wipe Israel out,” Mr. Nabili said, “now that’s a common trope that is put about by a lot of people in Israel, a lot of people in the United States, but as we know Ahmadinejad didn’t say that he plans to exterminate Israel, nor did he say that Iran’s policy is to exterminate Israel.”

I think this is one of the most sensible responses to a 'which degree gets me an IB job' thread I've ever seen.

Yeah that's why I said sales and trade which is only one branch of IB, in M&A the degree can be very broad such as History and Economics etc. But if you want anything to do with Trading and quant analysis, you need Mathematics for essential. Also you are able to do Economics after Maths degree but the vice versa is really hard to do.

Know which course is relatively better to get into IB.

I know that it is a topic that is completely over done on here, when in reality it bears little weight to one securing a full time role or internship.
