Best European MSc to get into equity research

I'm currently 25 and looking to move to Europe and I think going through the MSc Finance route is the way to go. I am from South Africa with an EU passport and have my CFA charter with almost 3 years of buy-side experience. I will write the GMAT sometime this year with the idea of starting my studies in 2027.

I wanted to know which affordable programs are the best to get into (for an English speaker). I will apply to Bocconi and I am looking at Nova SBE, and Tilburg. My goal is to remain in equity research.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
