Bath or Bristol (Mathematics)?

Out of Bath and Bristol (both for MMaths degrees) which would offer the best chance of getting into IB? Why?

Thanks :smile:

From my experiences, it doesn't really matter too much. I've seen people from both Bristol and Bath in FO internships. It's all down to you at the end of the day.

With Bath, you could do a FO placement year (but there aren't too many FO positions available for placements).

Overall, I'd say that I've seen more people from Bristol doing spring weeks/summer internships but I really do think it's more down to you and your experiences than your university!

Search the forum brah.

Sufficient evidence on this forum alone to justify picking Bristol over Bath.

I did choose Bristol, but that's a pretty poor justification for your answer.

If you accept baseless advice from self proclaimed experts on the internet, you'll get nowhere. Learn this the easy way or the hard way; it's your life.
