How do Bocconi undergrads compare with undergrads from Warwick/Ucl/Lse/Oxbridge in terms of landing a job in IB?

I was wondering if Bocconi undergrads compete well against undergrads from targets in the UK for analyst roles at BBS in London. Would it be a good idea to get a BSc in Finance from Bocconi if I wanted to go into IB in London, or should I just study at Warwick/UCL?

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. Would I have to be fluent in Italian to be a competitive candidate, or would a high gpa and experience at IB gigs be enough?

 

For Milan offices you definitely need to be fluent. For London offices no need 

 

Extremely competitive, unless you are very good studying / Italian and have friends there who can pass you past exams better to attend an easier target school in UK. However, if you manage to get decent experience and GPA you will get interviews from all the banks

 

And in my experience far easier for Internationals at Bocconi to get into IB from undergrad than for Italians (they often join after getting their MSc)
