Best MFin in Europe

Hi everyone,

I'm currently weighting different options for my MSc.

I would like to start a career in IBD (M&A) in London (I am an Italian citizen), so I'm planning on doing an MSc in Finance.

As already in Bocconi, I should probably get accepted to MFin in Bocconi (with full scholarship for academic merits). However, I am also considering other options abroad (e.g., LSE MSc Finance or MSc Finance & Private Equity, LBS MFA or HEC MIF). I was wondering what are your opinions on these different MSc programs (considering that Bocconi is, for me, "free").

Thanks!

 

good rule of thumb is to study where you want to work later, so i'd say to go try LSE and LBS's programs.

Bocconi still has very good placement in London tho and it may not force you into debt as it may be free for you.

Last thing, i'm italian too, can i PM you for info on the scholarship?

Best master in finance is Oxford MFE, also lets you get into London

 

Other competing degrees and of similar quality will be equally pricey. Try to get in the best program you can, and then arrange financing through scholarship, loans, etc. Often times you have to do your degree and scholarship applications in parallel, but that is easy enough as many of the documents, essays, etc. can be leveraged across
