Investment banking which Uni ?

I have gotten acceptance from 2 unis which one do you think is the best to get into investment banking heriott watt or university of Southampton.
Hi @Samore

You can get into investment banking having graduated from any University.

The University of Southampton has a strong careers department which can help with this. They have a careers portal where you can logon and browse many different internships available. There is also the opportunity to do a one year placement between your second and third year of university. Therefore, you can gain experience before graduating. This can help you to achieve your goal of going into investment banking. The careers department also offers one to one meetings to have career advice as well as careers fairs so you can potentially meet with employers.

The University of Southampton also has a strong reputation being a Russell Group University and is viewed positively by many employers.

I would recommend attending the University of Southampton offer holder day in which you can learn about the university and decide whether it is the right place for you. You should have got an email detailing how to book on to one.

Hope this helps,
