Which offer to accept!!!!!

Hi there, i have currently got 4 offers from different unis and still waiting on the last to reply. In the case that I get rejected from the final one (UCL), which course should I choose.

Offers:

KCL- History/politics/Economics BSc
Exeter- Investment banking BSc
Birmingham- Business management BSc

I’d like to go into strategy consulting or the finance sector career wise. Which of these courses would be best suited for this? Kings was the uni that I was aiming for but just unsure how good this degree is. The departments for all three subjects ranking 4th in the UK but will this degree be useful for employment? Thanks for replies in advance.

You write, "i have currently got 4 offers", but then list only three. What's the fourth offer? Or is it a secret? :wink:

I'm not sure that it's an easy question to answer as you've applied for different courses at each of those universities. If all the courses were the same, I'd probably have gone with King's. But I'm not sure that's the best course for a strategy consulting career.

@artful_lounger - any opinion here?

I don't think management consulting firms really care what you study at degree level, I think KCL might be marginally more of a semi-target in that area than the others though?
