UCL Economics or Economics and Statistic
Hello everyone, I am hesitating between UCL Economics and Economics and Statistics. What are the main differences between these two programs? How are they perceived in the world of finance? Which one is better for pursuing a career in IB or S&T?

Econ will be more competitive to warn you, but that also means that if you get accepted the perception is better

UCL Economics and Economics & Statistics are both robust, quantitative programs that offer promising finance prospects. Economics emphasizes theory and policy, with strengths in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics. With Economics & Statistics, you will enhance your quantitative and modeling skills through more advanced data analysis, probability, and programming. In Investment Banking (IB), both are held in equal regard, but networking and internships are of greater importance. Economics & Statistics offers a distinct advantage for Sales & Trading (S&T) or quant/analyst roles because of its emphasis on technical skills.
