UCL or Kings

hi ive got an offer to study econ at ucl despite not doing econ at a level and I firmed this but i put kings econ and management as my insurance, i did maths a level as well but im thinking about switching them cos kings has a placement year and knowing how hard it is to find graduate jobs in finance, im now thinking a placement year would be really helpful but i think ucl is the better uni. Do i need any a level econ knowledge before ??

You can do a placement year at UCL too. UCL is much stronger for economics and the path for most of the desirable finance jobs require summer internships rather than placement years.
