Best EU Schools for Undergraduate in Finance?
Ok so long story short, I'm a prospective undergraduate student currently enrolled in my first year of a four-year bachelor's program at a (and I say this in every sense this phrase can be said) non-target university in Athens, Greece. It has always been my plan to go to this university for 1 year and then transfer out as a first-year student to an actual prestigious university (for personal reasons I chose to spend a year here). I have built a pretty competitive academic profile, and I would say that I would be able to pretty comfortably get into almost any EU/UK university that I would possibly want (with the exception of the extremes such as OxBridge and LSE).
The thing is I am really struggling to figure out which unis in Europe offer a competitive undergraduate degree in finance. I have been scavenging forums and asking friends, but the answers seem to cater more to target schools for masters programs, not undergrad, and it seems that the majority of these EU targets have serious masters programs, but then kind of jokes for bachelor's degrees.
To illustrate what I mean, schools such as RSM, ESCP, HEC, etc. all have great master's programs in finance, but when you go to their undergraduate programs, all they have to offer are some bullshit degrees in Management or International Business administration, or some other unspecific crap like that. The only competitive uni that I have found in the EU that offers a legit bachelor's in finance is Bocconi. And also IE but that's semi-target, and I think I can do better than that.
I would also like to add that I am asking about unis in the EU. I am good on target unis in the UK for undergrad, but I would like to diversify to some schools in Europe.
The question I am asking is which schools in Europe offer a competitive undergraduate degree in Finance. If anyone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. I have already applied to Bocconi and IE, but I need some more options. Thanks.
IE is not even semi-target. Apply to SSE, HSG, RSM and CBS. Obviously, Bocconi.

If you want the LSE name you can always apply for an 'easier' subject to get into. Usually for IB at bulge brackets you can get away with that if you have the LSE name.
