IB Career Uni Choice
I have 5 choices regarding uni and I wondered which one is best to pursue career in investment banking in London.
1. Bocconi - finance - 3 years - cheap
2. University of Toronto - management - 4 years - moderately expensive
3. University of Southern Carolina - economics - 4 years - super expensive
4. UCLA - management - 4 years - moderately expensive
5. UCL - econ - 3 years - moderately expensive
1. Bocconi - finance - 3 years - cheap
2. University of Toronto - management - 4 years - moderately expensive

UCL Economics (by far)
2.
Bocconi (but Bocconi UG is insufficient to get a job - you need to do a Masters in London afterwards)

Yes, the university a lot. The course, less so. If you don't go to a target, doing a related degree is better but if you go to Oxford, the course doesn't matter a lot for IB.
