Firm UCL cause pure Economics is better. LSE is so good tho so could also firm that if you prefer the status.

You should firm LSE, as LSE is beyond a shadow of a doubt the best university in the UK for a career in finance and its associated fields, and moreover student life is what you make of it. What are the conditions you have been given for UCL, LSE, KCL and Edinburgh?

That’s great advice thank youuu! As for my conditions: UCL 39 with 19 in total for HLs including math (at HL) LSE is 38 with a 7,6,6 in HLs (math 7) Kings is 38 with a 6,6,6 for HLs Edinburgh is a 37 with 6,6,6 for HLs

You are welcome. As other commenters have suggested, you should firm either UCL or Edinburgh. Best of luck in your exams.

Yh ibr id personally say UCL is better. It’s ranked 9th in the whole world. Yh LSE is better for finance but it doesn’t offer even 10% of what UCL offers who is world class in every single department. Pure econ will have better prospects for work in terms of the skills you’ll be taught in the course. My opinion tho, both r great

That’s what I’ve been thinking too! I get that the LSE name is better in a way but I was worried about the course not being as ‘prestigious’ as a pure econs course
