Employment Opportunities after University in UK (Oxford to Queens College Belfast) vs. US (Bowdoin, etc.)

Not if you are considering the need for a visa to work in the UK. Graduating from a UK university automatically gives you the right to work there for 3 years. That’s not the case for a US university: the UK gives automatic working visas to graduates from a (slightly odd) list of top global universities, but that doesn’t include LACs like Bowdoin:

For OP: my S18 applied for PPE. Don’t underestimate how hard it is to get admitted to top UK schools for PPE. Got an interview but no offer at Oxford, rejected at LSE and UCL, unconditional offer at KCL. He had 4.0UW/1540 SAT/10 APs with 5 5s already and 4 more 5s predicted. Decided to stay in the US, where his applications were much more successful (admitted to 12 out of 13 schools).
