MSc Finance 2022 for top IB
Hi, okay so I am targeting IB in the future so i've got several questions:
1) Bayes (Cass) - there seem to be many negative opinions about it here, however, its #25 worldwide in FT rankings? Is it not a target school? Is it recognised outside of UK?
2) UCL - Everyone here believes it to be an IB target school due to its reputation, however, its nowhere to be found in any rankings? So is it really a target school for finance?
3) Esade - Its #15 worldwide in FT, is it a target school in UK? Also, is Spains financial status right now going to affect the prestige of Esade's master?
Lastly, which would you choose to be employed in top IB both in UK and internationally?
Really need help and responces ASAP please
Thanks guys
I would add MSc Finance at Bocconi
- Cass isn't a target school
- UCL isn't a target at postgraduate level, it is only considered good at the undergrad level
- Esade isn't a target
I would choose none. Also we're in May, it's very late if you want to apply for a start next year.
Agree 100%. Some courses at UCL for their business school only require a 2:2.
I would suggest doing the GMAT to boost your chances for LSE, LBS, HEC, HSG, Bocconi etc
How come Esade isn't a target though?
I guess it's a target in Spain, but I've never seen anyone in IB/finance in London coming from there.
??? That says more about you than anything. Literally a 3 minute search on Linkedin found me people at GS/ JP/ MS… And the same goes for Bayes & UCL. This notion that there are like 4 targets comes from ppl who are actually not involved in the recruiting or have never been. I had to do my share of CV screening and, even if I come from a different school than those, would never ding them based on that. It would literally check the box of “good school”, like any other T15 school for that matter.
To the OP I would suggest to give more info about you for a better rec. If you already have experience in the industry + fluent in a european language (apart from english) then schools are not crucial (as long as its T15-20). If that’s not the case then I’d suggest going to London schools for easier recruiting. Also, May 1st seems to late to apply. Would recommend doing a shortlist of 5 schools you feel you would fit in (talk to alumni) and trying next year. If you don’t have experience rn, try getting it already (will help with application + recruiting).
UCL among those three. The school of management declined the rankings offer from QS (src: from the MSc Finance program Director)
