Both have placed well for IB this year. But Bristol's CompSci course is much stronger than Kings one and over the years it's generally sent more people into IB.

I would say Bristol >> KCL.

I am not up to date with the rankings but having visited both departments last year and from memory last year Bristol is higher. It might have changed around but its only 2 ranking systems putting KCL higher, I'm sure some will put it the other way around. Also KCL has an AAB requirement while Bristol is A*AA or AAA, so think about this when you apply.

Yes, but for IBD course doesn't matter too much. I am at semi target and with a solid cover letter and cv you can land springs.

Bristol has a better CompSci course and department by far. Negligible difference in banking recruiting.
