Want to work in investment banking? It helps if you have attended one of these universities? In the UK, think Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial College and other redbrick universities.
If you went to university in the UK and have ambitions to work in ‘finance’ more generally, we have a new ranking for you. And the results are a little less obvious.
LinkedIn has scoured its database to work out which UK universities’ alumni now work in the financial sector. The results are not entirely self-evident – LBS tops the list, but Cass Business School, Cranfield University, the University of Warwick and Said Business School also make the top five.
