  • What is the best UK university for investment banking? An economics degree is a common university degree for investment banking. Whether that’s JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley, you will usually find other investment bankers also having economics degrees - but how do you choose the best economics degree when studying in the UK?
    In this video where I perform a UK university tier list, I cover the best UK economics degrees and help you identify which are that target universities for investment banks, semi targets and others which might not be obvious but can still pursue a career as an investment banker by attending those UK universities.
    The UK Economic Degrees that I cover in this video are (in no particular order):
    Queen Mary / University of Oxford / York / City University / University of Bath / Southampton / University of Durham / University of Warwick / Lancaster University / UCL / University of Exeter / University of Manchester\ University of St Andrews / University of Birmingham/ University of Leeds / University of Edinburgh/ University of Bristol/ King’s College London / University of Nottingham/ UCL / University of Cambridge/ LSE
    I probably should’ve included Loughborough here as well…..

      Thanks for the kind words and hopefully it helps clear a few things! And yes id say the uni is more important than degree eg history at Cambridge is better than maths degree at a uni ranked 50th......but doing a more specialized degree from lower down the rankings is the only way to compete with the top uni students.

      How come youre choosing the diploma option? If it progresses to the MPhil then i would pursue that. Although if youre uncertain then id do the UCL course. I will make a video on Business Schools shortly but Cambridge Judge Business School isnt ranked super highly so dont do it for the sake of just going Cambridge. Business Schools rankings are important at postgrad level.

    As a post grad, I’m accepted for banking and finance at St Andrews, and waiting to hear back from Kings, and UCL for management. Absolutely torn I really like the town of Saint Andrews and I’m not sure if I’m going to get into kings or UCL. Curious to hear your thoughts. I’m a recent US student grad. Not entirely focused on IB but more PE/VC or Real estate.

    • @ThatMuslimLife
      @ThatMuslimLife  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Nah. If you want to work in banking then eco and finance is better as finance actually contains the product and real life things you’ll use. Eco is great because it’s very mathematical with econometrics but really that’s used for further study as opposed to using econometrics in your job. The benefit is you can show you have top maths skills. ….but to summarise it’s the finance part which is helpful for the job

    Hi, based on what was seen online(student room and other forums), certain individuals had a very strong opinion that cambridge economics is much more quantitative and harder than oxford e&m and is equivalent, if not superior regarding its applicability towards Investment Banking. I see that your list has ranked cambridge below oxford, can you please elaborate as I am rather confused.

    • @ThatMuslimLife
      @ThatMuslimLife  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I wouldn't say it's superior to Oxford. One reason for more quantitative theory is that a lot more graduates from Cambridge stay to do further study which helps them. But in the end both will get you interviews and rankings are based on the data available and experience. IB jobs will be easy from first two groups

Not going to lie , both aren't going to give a brand name if you're wanting to work in the US (they hardly know the European unis!) but you can start off in London and transfer to NY

      Thanks for the support! The difference becomes more pronounced as you go into your second year. On a straight Eco degree youll do more advanced econometrics, learn econometric software e.g. STATA etc and essentially do more statistics. On Eco + mgmt youll do mgmt modules as well which focus on strategy, organisational change, marketing etc and essentially are qualitative. I prefer the second as i dont like stats but each to their own! Youll still have to do econometrics through your degree but not as much on a combined course.

He also has an offer from Bocconi (Milan) unconditonal, and King's which only requires an A* in any subject, which he's confident in. I would like to know whether, if he doesn't get into UCL, whether Kings College or Bocconi would be better ? (For investment banking).

      Boconni is a top uni. People apply for London/NY IB jobs from around the world and so banks know about the reputation of these unis. Bocconi has a top reputation in IB and is a target uni within Europe. I'd put Bocconi slightly above King's but King's business School is slowly improving as well. Just remember it might be easier to network and get interview when youre based in a London uni vs Italy.

    • @ThatMuslimLife

      Great question and the answer is yes when it comes to semi targets. As mentioned Bath only in the past 20 years appears here and people also forget Warwick is a new university compared to all the others so it shows what’s possible…..all you need are several years of high placements to push them up. I think Loughborough will definitely appear on this list in 10 years. Kings might drop to B as it seems to be on a downward trend.

Use the alumni, use the IB events held at the university and involve yourself with the people looking to get into IB as well.
