Warwick PPE - how good?

How does PPE in Warwick compare to Oxford in terms of prestige and employability?
Or anything else that is relevant.

Oxford will always win the prestige argument. Other than that, Warwick is recognised as an excellent university, as are York and Durham. There's really no point in trying to determine which one of those has any advantage, because if there was any it would be minimal.

Where employability is concerned; you'll have done PPE, which is recognised to be an elite course with good job prospects. Will your employability differ from an Oxford PPEist? For investment banking: sadly, yes. For any other industry: probably not.

Do you like PPE and Warwick? Go for it. :smile:

a lot of PPEists get into investment banking from warwick...yes, obviously warwick is not up there with oxford for PPE, but id say its way better than York, Durham etc in terms of employability.

Purely academically is Warwick PPE course as flexible as York? Does York have an edge over Warwick in it's study module? Is PPE at Warwick more Maths focused? Reputation wise which would be a right choice between Warwick & York?
Sorry to go a bit off track. I am a confused :confused:
