Ucl or lse for history?

LSE1996

As per title.. UCL OR LSE for History? Which one is best? UCL is ranked way above LSE in World rankings (#19 and #69?) so I would just like to know how much emphasis one should put on those rankings?

Thanks

Well, that's rather embarrassing of me. :P Sorry for that! Hm, I don't know what UCL's course is like but LSE's comes under International History. Different universities cover different topics for History.

Reputation: LSE > UCL though.

1) world rankings disadvantage LSE becuase they only do social sciences, whereas UCL do literally every subject (exaggerating obviously)

2) LSE > UCL domestically for all the courses that LSE offers

3) LSE is harder to get into

4) LSE is more favourably looked upon by employers

5) at the end of the day, both are amazing so you should be happy at either.
