Clearing - Which course is better?

So what would you say looks better to employers;
> BSc Economics & Finance (Queen Mary)
> BA Geography (King's College)

Thanks.
Without doubt, Queen Mary for Economics & Finance.

Kings, QMUL doesn't get the same level of recruiting

As always: the course you do doesn't mean anything

Economics and finance absolutely. Geography is a joke unless you want to become a geography teacher

Rankings change over time, the picture could be very different in terms of whether kings or QMUL is better when OP graduates. Besides a first from QMUL will be more attractive to employers than a 2.1 in geography from kings

No worries. I would 100% ignore people bashing Geography, for your info one of the senior MDs at Credit Suisse I spoke to did Chinese at uni and an analyst did Geography + History.

Also from what I have seen, KCL placed fairly well in spring weeks this past year.

Yhh, I suppose being at a 'target uni' helps a lot more.
