I think the real question is:
What's the point of asking the same thing in 2 different threads?

Nottingham L1R2 (Economics with German) vs Bristol L101 (Economics with a year in Germany)

any ideas people?

Bristol L101 definitely. I thought you weren't interested in IB

MORSE at Warwick
Econometrics at LSE
Stats Econ and Finance at UCL

Hahaha. I love TSR. People give advice to others about what uni to go to to maximise their chance of getting into IB and then 5 minutes later ask the same question. Regardless of whether Bristol is better than Nottingham, that just sums up TSR. People who have no clue giving others advice. Brilliant.

OK tell me how the Nottingham degree is better then.
And I was initially planning of applying to econ for a year, so I know.
I'm new to these maths/statsy degree choices which I only started to consider 3 weeks ago. So I don't know about their 'value'

There is no real difference in prestige between those three courses. To the naked eye, the LSE course may edge it, but none will hinder your chances of getting into IB.

The fact is you don't know about any degree 'value' as your not and have never been in the industry, let alone have a spring week under your belt.

Bristol may well be better than Nottingham which is what most on here say (who have had spring weeks, internships and seen for themselves).

Anyway I'm not digging you out personally, it's just something that happens all the time on here and I find it funny

I know I've kind of asked this before, but which degree should I go for:
- LSE, Economic History (AAB)
- King College London, Business Management (AAA)
- UCL, Information Management for Business (AAB)
- Cass Business School, Banking and International Finance (AAA)
- Cass Business School, Investment & Financial risk Management (AAA)

Been desperate to find finance-related courses that don't require Maths lol. I have no idea how I'm going to fit my personal statement around these five choices.

My predicted grades:
- Business Studies (A) History (A) English Literature (A*)
(NOTE: I'm retaking the year with completely new subjects after messing up last year)

I would strongly advise against trying to do one personal statement for those 5 subjects. The admission teams would see straight through it and immediately think your not interested in doing their degree.

Why don't you try Accounting and Finance at LSE? You don't need maths for that and it's a good degree. Then you could write a great PS focusing on finance for LSE and Cass x 2.

what are my chances doing Mathematical Science w Finance& economics at City University,

Yeah I agree. The trouble is that my favourite is Economic History at LSE but they are the only university (except York) to offer that degree so if I applied for it I would have to choose something else for my other four choices anyway. Straight Economics is the closest but because I don't have maths this is very unrealistic to get into top 10 universities for it.

Why don't you try Accounting and Finance at LSE? You don't need maths for that and it's a good degree. Then you could write a great PS focusing on finance for LSE and Cass x 2.

Mainly because I checked the site and there was 2000+ applicants for 150 places, whereas for Econ History there was 220 for 100 places.

I'm not ruling out anything completely at the moment. Would like to do some sort of IB related interships during Uni perhaps.

So Bristol's L101? What do you think about the year in Germany aspect? Do IBs actively look for bi/trilingual people?

Well from the people I know in the city and some of the internship/spring week numbers on here it seems Bristol edges Nottingham.

Being bilingual is a great asset but only if your fluent and can have a business conversation with somebody in German otherwise it is pointless for IB.

Interesting. Thanks for that mate. How are you getting on with IB? Are you a graduate?

To work in IBD at JPM you need some form of a 'global language IIRC. So it's only a bonus.

Hey there,

I'd ideally like a job in banking by the time university finishes and i'm looking to do computer science and management studies at nottingham

I'm just curious asto whether this degree. (In tandem with ABB for A Levels) would be good enough to get me into banking or consultancy.

Thanks for reading this.

[Milch]

People, can you be more specific with what areas of banking you want to go into? BO and MO is a completely different ball game to IBD and Markets.
