The "Is this university/course good enough for banking/consultancy?" thread

What are my chances? 7 A*/2 A/1C at GCSE. 4 A's at A level, and hoping to study at LSE. Got 6 weeks work experience at Morgan Stanley.

I actually know someone who works at MS, and he could sort me out with a spring week and internship, so work experience shouldn't be a problem.

the title says it all really

which would be better in terms of employability and reputation
Business Management from Queen Mary, University of London
or
Economics, Finance and Management

Which one would be give me a higher chance of getting into Investing Banking?

if anyone has done either of these courses please tell me if you enjoyed the degree, and if it was very difficult etc.

Thank you :smile:

God, this is going to sound about as knobish as it comes, however, are you sure your credentials fit Investment Banking?

Business + Accounting are regarded as fairly soft A-Levels, certainly the latter. Then coupled with Queen Mary's...Maybe I'm being harsh.

However in response to your question, EFM would be the more respected degree by a long shot.

nah your not being harsh, okay yes you are lol but I don't mind, atleast your telling me the your opinion and probably what is the truth.

And yeah I know my A-level choices are crap, I wish I could go back in time and go to a different college and studying physics instead of accounting and econ instead of business but that aint gonna happen :frown:

and my results were rubbish aswell so even getting offers is going to be very hard for me.

if I did a Masters in a uni like Kings College or Manchester (dunno if they even offer this option) do yo uthink my chances would be better then?

well done for not knowing what the hell your talking about and without using sense, passing this misguided information on to someone else - you a-level kids really get on my (.)(.) sometimes with the nonsense you post to guide someones future career choices :rolleyes:

OP - purely choose EFM b/c it will have some finance modules and that it also sounds lightly more traditional than the others in eyes of recruiters

Depending on where you want to go maths in your degree may not be an issue at all (IBD and IM et al)

For someone not even in college you sure have a lot of attitude. You better thank your lucky stars you have big contacts, because if you keep up this attitude there is no other way you will get hired.

Edit: The arts thread was particularly despicable.

LOLL My first choice was bristol for Econ, i missed that by four marks! currently waiting for a remark, but if things don't go according to plan just wanted to see if the course would be good or not. thats not to say that royal holloway is bad by any means, and im sure that the graduates have a good chance of getting into IB. It depends on the person.

He's right, you have quite a poor chance. Even Bristol is more like middle-office.

INCORRECT

Bristol at the likes of Citi comes just behind Oxbridge and LSE - I don't quite know the connection but having asked employees there they always say the above 3 followed by Bristol everytime for FO positions, so clearly it is well regarded

add on to that I have seen many Bristol graduates at many BB banks (inc. GS were I am interning now) in FO positions

Did I say something wrong? I don't think I did...if he mentioned he has substantial work experience then of course, he might have a chance; but he didn't.
