Hello, I would like to ask for advice regarding my university choices.
I am an international Asian student, and my long-term goal is to enter the IB/finance industry. I may return to Korea after graduation, but I am also interested in working in Asia(Hong Kong or Singapore) or London or in other international financial hubs.

My options are:
HKUST School of Business and Management
I would enter with an undeclared major and choose my major in my second year, so there may be tough competition for Gbus or other popular majors. Also, I do not speak Cantonese or Mandarin. Would English be enough to enter the finance industry in Hong Kong?

Warwick PPE — Philosophy, Politics and Economics
I know Warwick is considered a target school for finance in the UK, but I am worried because PPE is not pure Economics. If I specialize in Economics within PPE, would I study similar content to pure Economics students? And after graduation, would PPE students with an Economics focus have similar career prospects and recognition as pure Economics students?

University of Toronto Economics
I would choose Economics as my major in second year(though i enter as humanities students).

Singapore Management University PLE(Politics, Law, Economics) or Business Mangement
Curious if PLE is still strong in finance sectors.
Also, does SMU hold strong reputation in countries outside Singapore in finance?

Considering IB/finance career prospects, employer recognition, and flexibility across Korea, Asia, London, and other financial hubs, which university would be the strongest choice? Which option would give me the best chance of entering IB/finance?
