UCL consistently ranked higher. Go for ucl. Anyone can go into warwick these days. Their foundation programme is quite liberal in terms of admission.

Both Warwick and UCL are closely ranked in university league and for economics. The ranking source is Edugo. The advantage of UCL is that it is in the city of London and it is next to the Euston Square tube station and amenities like the British Library with its 14 million books.
Quite a number of SAF scholars have studied at UCL and President's Scholars go to both Warwick and UCL. Interestingly, former PM Goh Chok Tong's daughter studied at Warwick and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat's son is studying at Warwick as a PSC scholar.
Another indicator that might help - the highest ranking Warwick civil servant is Leo Yip, Permanent Secretary in Ministry of Home Affairs. He studied at Cambridge, Warwick and Harvard. And the highest ranking UCL public servant is Chao Hick Tin, a Supreme Court justice. He got both his bachelor's and master's at UCL.

That is quite an insight. Seems like Warwick is gaining alot of momentum in Singapore in recent years.

both are good universities, go google and u will see many warwick alumni in prominent positions in singapore and many scholars chose to study in economics in warwick , u will also note that economics in warwick is ranked one of the top in UK.. even more so higher than cambridge/oxford/LSE in some rankings.. tt being said, basically choose warwick if u r going to study economics, business @ WBS, mathematics or statistics. for everything else, go UCL.

and lastly.. im a biased opinion.... coz i spent a term in warwick
