I've got offers from Nottingham and St Andrews (A*AA & AAA respectively) to study Economics. I want to go into Investment Banking post-uni; which offer should I accept? St Andrews are 3rd/4th in the league tables this year compared to Nottingham being outside the top 10, but Nottingham is closer to London so I imagine it being better for employment opportunities.
Overall rankings are almost pointless to look at, check for individual subjects and you'll see that notts is much better + a lot of notts graduates go into IB etc

& what do you know of St Andrews graduate destinations in comparison?
But it wont be 'Nottingham' or wherever applying for jobs will it - it will be YOU.
Ultimately it doesnt depend on which Uni you went to - it depends on your academic results and the amount of effort you put into getting internships and relevant work experience during your time at Uni. And whether you can construct a good job application and you can put in a good performance at interview.
Stop hiding behind this 'which Uni' thing - people succeed or fail by their own ability and effort, and only real failures mumble rubbish like 'It wasnt my fault - it was because of the Uni I went to'.
