St Andrews, CASS & Warwick - for Tier 2 M&A London
Hey everyone :)
I just graduated from a local (no-name) uni in Austria with a degree in Finance & Accounting. My profile so far:
- 2 Exchange Semesters (UK, Canada)
- 2 Internships Ernst & Young Transaction Advisory
- Internship in M&A / Investment Banking Tier 2 Bank
The reason why I would like to go for a MSc in the UK is that I definetly would like to go abroad once more and second my long-term goal is to work in M&A (Tier 2). I know that with my current background BB won't be possible so I thinks thats out of discussion.
I received a couple of offers and can't really decide and would appreciate if you could help me a little bit with your experience and thoughts:
Warwick Business School (Financial Management)
+ WBS Brand
- Courses are not very helpful for M&A with several management modules, so I am not sure if the brand alone compensates for that
Cass Business School (corporate finance)
+Course and the corporate finance focus are exactly what I wanted to study and specialise on
- Fees are crazy and the overall reputation in all the forums seems to not favor this school
Thinking about applying:
St Andrews (Finance)
+ Solid university and yes I know definitely not Tier 1 but what do you think about placement for mid-market M&A and Tier 2 banks
+ Way cheaper than Warwick and Cass
I would really appreciate if you could help me with my decision :) Thank you very much
Cass is fine, but should be the first one you eliminate.
Warwick is a target for undergraduates, and some postgraduate programmes. I know people from the continent who did post-grad at Warwick and ended up in MM shops and 2nd / 3rd tier management consulting firms.
St. Andrews is a bit of a wild card, it does place into some firms, and their alumni tend to be a bit more closely knit then many UK universities. It also places into somewhat similar places as Warwick, but not quite at the same rate.
Happy to chat more if you'd like.
