UCL or KCL (International Development/Economics and Politics)

I have offers from:
UCL - BSc Global Humanitarian Studies
KCL - BSc Political Economy
KCL - BA International Development
and another from City
I'm also waiting to hear from LSE (BSc ISPP), but in the event I am rejected by them, do I firm UCL or KCL? If I went to UCL, I would specialise in Management Science/Digital Science. Would doing this or Political Economy at KCL give me more options in terms of careers in Finance/IB?

Hi, no so when you study GHS in 1st/2nd Year, you choose a specialism as part of your degree. You can specialise in Humanitarian Policy, Management Science, Digital Science, Development etc

hey! i applied to pretty similar courses just different names (i've considered your courses before). I got 2 offers from 2 different UCL courses, offer from city waiting from kings and waiting for LSE also applying ISPP. I think UCL would be better just because of their quality of the course, but it also depends which course engages you the most as thats subjective.

How's your study? Is ISPP good? What kind of jobs do graduates go for?
