Both really good options. If I was an international student I would choose KCL simply for the location and name recognition. If I was going to spend 3 years in the UK and paying those rates, I'd rather pick London to Warwick/Coventry for the location, brand and all round experience. For a UK student, Warwick is probably a stronger option rated slightly more highly than KCL by local recruiters for top firms.

There is no blanket answer that makes sense for everyone as objectives differ. It is something you have to assess for yourself.
Very broadly speaking If you prioritize purely career prospects (salary/prestige in business) and course depth, Warwick is the factual winner. If your career goal is outside of traditional high-finance, the gap between the two is negligible. There's no bad choice. Ultimately it is a 3 year undergraduate degree from a well respected university. with access to good starting roles. After a year or two, the difference in outcomes is going to depend on things other than your choice of Warwick or KCL for your first degree.

If you’re only thinking about the course and prospects, a lot of people tend to lean towards Warwick. Warwick Business School has a solid reputation and management is one of the more popular courses there.

The university also sends a lot of emails about student opportunities. There are usually events, internships and different activities shared with students, so people often say there are quite a lot of opportunities around.

In terms of jobs, Warwick is generally well recognised as well, so it’s often seen as a safe option.

Honestly speaking both are very good options, but what I can say from the Warwick side is employability is without a doubt a massive benefit. The Warwick Business School, especially, is very highly regarded among employers and students are consistently targeted by top firms. Not to mention the culture here when it comes to careers, internships, and placements, is very strong and encourages you to be proactive.
We have lots of societies, too, that look great on your CV and boost your employability, including Warwick Consulting Society, Warwick Finance Society, etc.
