engineering for city?
is engineering a good degree to do for overall job prospects?
do investment banks/the city like engineering graduates
i know it is respected but why are course entry requirements so low even at places like UCL.
im thinking of doing either BSc pure economics at lse or ucl
or MEng engineering and business finance at UCL(with the biz fin bit at LSE)
which would look better to city firms/investment banks
the pure econ is more specialised to investment type of work but the engineering degree is gives more rounded knowledge and it still does have the biz finance modules taught at LSE
i dont mind doing either one
any advice?

Entrances grades are low due to a general shortage of students wanting to take it up. Combined with the apparent national debt of engineers! I believe it is a good degree to go for (in general) if you're interested in the science/maths side of it of course. However to enter into the business side might require some careful thinking. To be fair I don't know how the city/investment banks would react to it though it sounds like you'd rather be doing Economics 
(Yes, this was a copy/paste job!)

Many engineers run high end parts of companies, even if the company is not an engineering one. They hold problem solving skills that no other person has (other than other engineers of course!). That is one reason that engineers are sought after and will/do get paid lots of money when they have a wealth of experience (typically 15 years of experience with 10 years being in a managerial position). As you can see i have read up a lot on this, as i am going to be starting an Aerospace Engineering degree this year.

Also mathematicians are great problem solvers, though the only ones I know are bitter towards physicists and engineers...!
