Bristol... is considered fairly good for undergrad. For postgrad, however, they're probably below Oxbridge/London/Warwick/Essex. It would surely land you a reasonable job in industry, or get you a PhD placement in the UK (maybe at a top school if you do extremely well). I doubt people outside of the UK have heard of it - actually, people outside of the UK tend to be familiar with Oxbridge/LSE, only. |
Does Bristol has more reputation than Durham University? I like Durham's curriculum better, but I heard it is not that famous. In terms of Accounting and Finance, Durham's ranking is better, but overall world ranking, Bristol is much higher than Durham. I have also heard that Bristol has a lot of connections with the private industry.
This year unfortunately, Stockholm School of Economics does not offer their msc finance. They are changing their program structure. Stockholm University's Msc Finance requires a bachelor degree in finance and I dont have any background in Finance. So I could only choose Lund.
Another thing is Lund is free (school fees subsidized by govt), Bristol (13k pounds).
