Post Grad Masters/Msc ranking Europe
Hi everyone, following interrogations from other topics, I thought it would be great to have a somehow "official" ranking of Masters in Europe with infos on them. for IB
Being noted that this is subject to change and that every feedback is more than welcome so we can have a consensus. I know the list is not complete, might be necessary to add tiers.
Tier 1
Oxford MFE
LBS MFA
LSE MiF
HEC MiF
Tier 1.5
Bocconi MiF
HSG (St Gallen) MiF
Warwick MiF
Tier 2
Imperial MiF
ESCP MiF
ESSEC MiF
WHU MiF
Tier 3
UCL MiF
Bayes MiF
ESADE MiF
INSEAD MiF
SSE MiF
IE MiF
RSM (Rotterdam School of Management) MFI
EDHEC MiF
WBS should be tier 1 imo - great placement in recent years
HEC and LBS should be moved to a lower tier than Oxford, maybe tier 1.5. Also doesn't make sense to include Cambridge MiF since it is a post-experience programme, which none of the other programmes on the list are.
Imo Bocconi and Imperial should also be in a tier above the rest that you've grouped them with. Could also make the case that St. Gallen should be above those schools
Good point for Cambridge. Cannot agree for HEC/LBS as the aim of this is not to have 15 tiers and I tend to think that HEC/LBS are above Bocconi (which deserve tier 1.5). Imperial I'd say yes for undergrad but not for postgrad. Will adapt depending on other POV
Definitely agree that HEC/LBS are above Bocconi, St. Gallen, Imperial etc. My thought was that if you shift HEC/LBS down a tier, all the schools below are also shifted down a tier
Imperial should not be placed in tier 1.5, makes no sense. St Gallen the same. Warwick MiF could be however in tier 1.5 along with Bocconi.
Is Warwick that much better than Imperial? I thought they were the same/average?
It is as it have a greater legacy (older school) and more alumni in banks.
RSM can be placed in tier 2.
Is Bayes that low because it renamed and is now considered “newish”. Because afaik there are ton of people working in IB from Cass.
No even CASS wasn't considered to be very good. Always considered a back-up plan for most candidates (and still is with Bayes).
I see. Would you advise a european to go to Bayes if I want to stay for IB in London?
Well Bocconi is a relatively good bet for London (although you need a good CV apart from just your degree). RSM also but a bit less than Bocconi (but really good considering its price). EDHEC is more known in France but with a strong CV you could potentially find something in London.
Thank you. Are you suggesting Bocconi expects IB/PE experience for graduate levels?
Not bocconi but banks and other institutions. Same as other unis though.
I would say a combination. University is one thing but you will need internships and a strong overall CV. Good luck :)
Thank you. Best of luck to you too.
