I'm 99% certain I'll choose Stockholm School of Economics. I don't mind SSE being two years since I'm in no hurry to graduate, and since I'm only a math _minor_, I think the ICL program would completely devour me.
My amateur impression is that a coin flip would suffice since they are both good programs? They'll both get me (provided full academic devotion of course) a relevant job in Europe, but it would be nice to get some quick input from some professionals. Thanks

SSE is definitely heavily
SSE is definitely heavily targeted in London. Imperial is good if you want to go in to S&T/more of a quant role.

As I mentioned before SSE
As I mentioned before SSE placement is phenomenal. Imperial more S&T focused yes, also good program.
Flip a coin, you will find some pros and cons for each.

guys, recruiters for SSE want
guys, recruiters for SSE want candidates to speak scandinavian languages for their nordic desks. Apart from hot girls and an easy going life, Imperial is much better for London recruitment.
What are the Maths
What are the Maths requirements for Imperial's master in finance?
The strict nordic desk
The strict nordic desk placement is complete and utter bullshit. Many grads voluntarily end up in Stockholm offices after they gain experience in London or take roles with nordic desks in the City, but that is just an upside for those fluent in Swedish, there is no downside to not speaking it. SSE's placement in London is amazing, email any HR office if you doubt it. You'll be swamped with IB presentations during the whole of September and realize just how targeted SSE in London is. A London Goldman rep even told me that SSE is the third most represented school in the City right after Harvard and LSE. Don't know if that's true, but I doubt it would be too far from it even if it were not.
lluheb1989 your comment is absolutely retarded. All the info you're trying to convey is wrong. Except for the hot girls that is.
But you have to study hard to
But you have to study hard to get good grades if you want a FO job,so forget the hot chicks!
