<p>@beyphy @CuriousJane Check the student room investment banking section (<a href="http://www..co.uk/showthread.php?t=259237%5B/url%5D">http://www..co.uk/showthread.php?t=259237</a>). They are essentially the British equivalent of CC. </p>
<p>Yes Imperial isn’t a top target uni for wall street but it is for the city of london. For a job in an IB it isn’t essential you have something financy/econ related (although i guess it does help). </p>
<p>It is true that Imperial is much less well funded, but when it comes to recruitment (especially in sciences where the OP might head to). I feel Imperial has much stronger links (as it is known maybe not that well in the US, but for asia and UK it is known to be a top specialist science uni)</p>
