Best European MSc

Hello everyone! I have offers from MiM LBS (32-10k scholarship=22k -> 26k€), IM Bocconi (? scholarship= 28k but two years) and MiM Insead (45-8k scholarship=37k) and I am waiting an answer from MiM HEC. I am italian and I did my bachelor in PPE at Warwick. Considering that I am uncertain about what I want to do, but management consulting seems a good way to start, which university do you suggest and why? The money and the scholarships are important but I am more interested in learning as much as I can and in the best possible place.

It depends on whether you're recruiting for Milan or for London (and whether LBS can place into Milan), as well as your current experience. If you have no experience, I'd suggest going for HEC and taking the gap year to gain some.

Ask LBS Italian students if consulting firms have expedited processes for Milan. It's the case in HEC afaik, but no clue if LBS has this.

INSEAD MIM is subpar to LBS and HEC (and Bocconi if you recruit for Italy). It's not yet known enough and you'll have a limited network.

 

Hard to beat Bocconi for Italian MBB. LBS > HEC for London, although both will place decently. I'm not a fan of one-year programs since getting a summer internship in is a bit less natural than with 18-24 month programs.

Also, I seriously question Insead's pricing strategy...

 

Depends where you want to work but you can’t go wrong with LBS MiM. There is the option of adding a fourth term at LBS in order to be eligible to apply for internships, so the program can provide you some flexibility. LBS > HEC > Bocconi, if anywhere other than France or Italy, even then, it’s fairly close.
