Bachelor in Economics and Management. Bocconi vs. HSG/St. Gallen vs. RSM (IBA)
Hi,
I am an 19 year old German and I am about to finish my GAP Year, during which I held an internship at a decently reputable global investment fund in Sao Paulo.
Now I received the final results form all universities I applied to and I got an offer for these three programs:
IBA at the Rotterdam School of Management BIEM at Bocconi The Assessment Year at HSG
Although I thoroughly considered all three I am still unsure which university offers the best options for my orientation.
There are three aspects that I deeply care about for my Bachelor:
- Employability in the finance industry (primarily IB, preferably in London)
- Decent connection to the technology sector through a solid IT/Computer Science education
- Network and People/culture
Any advice would be valuable!
Thank You in advance!

Thank You for Your reply! I had the chance to speak with a couple of RSM IBA students and they all do a GAP year to work in either consulting or finance before doing their masters.
Imo if you are german it makes sense to go to HSG. Always better to stay local when you compare similar tiers of schools, should you want to go back to DACH countries at some point HSG will equip you with a better name and network than the others, athough all 3 are seen are similar from London
Thank You for your reply!
I was unaware that staying local makes sense in this context. Isn't it valued by employers, if you cover different areas of the world and build a global network?
Yes but your for your university staying local is better, unless say you had an offer from a top US school.
