Bath Economics w/ Placement Year

So I'm really considering going to Bath to study econ, but the deal breaker for me would be how attractive the investment banking prospects are.

Given that the placements are a year long and (according to their website) are at firms such as Goldman and JPM, how much of a chance will I have at securing a job in IB following graduation??

Also how do the prospects compare with the likes of Durham and Bristol?

Cheers

No, they aren't specifically at anywhere. You need to apply to these schemes yourself, and get in. Just note that you can't do a placement year in IBD, but quite a few banks will have one in the S&T department, the caveat being most people who do these years end up in operations due to few numbers of FO schemes.

Durham is slightly better (not enough to make a decision on tbh), but they are all semi-targets.

I debating whether to apply to bath orr durham but the bath economics sandwich course with placement
I was wondering how much of an advantage does the year long placement put u at for jobs and do most ofnth3 firms give u a job afterwards?
Also do u have to mention in ur ops about wanting to do a placement and is it worth doing and is it harder to get onto
