LSE vs QUB

12

Hi, I have an Economics and Politics degree offer from the LSE and Queen's University Belfast (my local uni). The only reason I'd consider going to LSE (given QUB is my local uni and I get reduced tuition fees there) would be if it would give me a better chance in employment. Given I don't want to go into IB, I don't think LSE would give me an edge with 'prestige' (as I don't think prestige really matters for Russell Group unis unless it's Oxbridge). Is there any other reasons why I should consider LSE over Queen's?

Maybe you coild look into the modules offered by QUB and LSE. Are the modules of LSE, being in London, are more "contemporary" or "updated" with developments of the political world snd fascinate you? Otherwise there is no strong reason for giving up your favourite uni. Someone might say LSE is more prestigious, but QUB is also a RG uni.

LSE is a no brainer whether you goto IB or not. your over all employment perspective are better because of the industry connection & University reputation. The two don't even compete at the same level. It is a london uni so expensive overall however the prospects are wayyyy better
