International Development Kings College London

I have an offer to study economics and finance at QMUL but I want to get into kings thru clearing, the only course somewhat similar is international development.

My a levels are maths, economics and business and I hope to get A* A* A*/A* A* A

Is international development a respected course? Because it does include concepts like econometrics and development economics, or will it be better to do a better course, Econ and finance, but at a less respected uni, QMUL. Anyone know anything about this course?

Only you can decide if the course aligns with your interests. Have you looked at the modules and optional modules in detail? Can you do a placement year or study abroad? These add a lot more to your graduate CV than the name of the uni you graduate from.
