Economics at Bath or Sociology and Politics in Science at UCL

So I currently hold an offer for econ at Bath but I am second guessing as it was my insurance. I applied to UCL via clearing and got an offer for sociology and politics in science but I’ve never studied sociology before and I don’t think it is a very employable degree despite ucl being ‘better’ in terms of prestige. Should I accept the ucl offer in hopes of transferring courses or stick with Bath?

You need to pick a course and a university that you like and will enjoy.

While a degree can be a pathway to certain careers, this doesn't always apply, and many people end up working in fields unrelated to their degree.

Also, do not take a course if you do not intend to complete it because you don't know if transferring will be possible.
