German target universities?
As the title says.
I'll be direct. I have an offer from Warwick for BSc Economics, which is considered a target within the UK. But due to the tuition, I believe I would have to go to either 1. Germany or 2. Singapore.
For Singapore, I'm looking into NUS and SMU but I would eventually like to live in Europe (esp London) and this could hinder my chances at the London office.
Therefore I would like to also know what other options I have. At the moment IB industry is not the set path that I would like to follow, but it's still a strong option and hence the question: Which German unis can be considered a target? I heard that LMU Munich and Mannheim are two best ones and I would like to know if students from those universities can break into London BB FO. I personally prefer London over Frankfurt, due to my language abilities and preference of the city.
When I looked into it, Mannheim seems to be quite famous for its MBA (around 20th in the world), but I would like to know it from the perspective of finding a job after the undergraduate. Also, if anyone would like to contribute any ideas, it would be highly appreciated!
Maybe this helps (although this graphic is only for the German market): http://tinyurl.com/kgkpxcn
If tuition are a big concern, you should also consider some Dutch universities like Maastricht or RSM (cheap, good reputation and place relatively well) .
The top business school in Germany is the University of Mannheim (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Mannheim). With Mannheim you stand a very good chance at getting IB stints in Frankfurt and you also a fair chance in London (although it will be harder as they aren't in bucket I). Friends of mine received offers in London from Deutsche Bank, Goldman and BAML. All you need to do is to get good grades in Mannheim (equal to a 2:1 in UK terms, i.e. 2.0) and intern at iBs in Frankfurt. With one or two M&A/ ECM internships at T1/T2 banks in Frankfurt you will get interview invitations for full time positions in London at most investment banks. Save your money, Warwick is not a feeder school for IB, all reputable London schools and Oxbridge are way ahead.
Double post
I studied in Mannheim and placed into GS/MS/JPM/BAML in London. It's all possible. I'm not the only one either, from my class alone people have placed into MS, Citi, DB London. WHU, Mannheim and EBS definitely place best in London out of the German unis.
You were placed into 4 different Banks? That's an interesting rotation program.
