Best post-brexit schools for non-natives in Europe
I come from a small eastern EU country, and I was wondering which universities for undergraduate studies have the best placement for nonnatives in the places that they study in. UK, even though it is best in Europe, has become too expensive for me; meanwhile, other countries do not offer the same possibilities such as those in the UK (for example RSM, ESE is good only for Dutch people in terms of job placements and opportunities on campus).
Switzerland and Germany are fairly international, although some depts may prefer native speakers in German.
Otherwise I'd go for Amsterdam or, if you speak French, Paris.
I know that; however, what if you only speak English and your native language? What then?
Then you'd still have to pick a larger city in Europe where there are banking jobs.
No point in finding some obscure location where expats have a higher concentration or acceptance, but nothing else.
The cities above are fairly international and accepting of people who speak English. Especially NL and CH. I know loads of US Americans in those places and they only speak English.
I also don't know where you got the information from re: placement for intls.
There is a bunch of Rotterdam alumni I know who are from the US and abroad, they all speak English and nothing else. Everyone placed fine in both NL and other cities.
I graduated from RSM recently. Based on experience & what I have seen... all the Dutch bank CorpFin related junior roles are filled by Dutch (Unless you can speak one or more other EU Languages)
yes, that is the reason why i created this post
Mainland Europe is quite hard to break in without speaking their language (Esp it's a fragmented market, the local banks would likely to work on local deals, and the mega deals are always going to the UK)
If you cannot obtain a scholarship in the Top business school in UK/FR, then the Netherlands is an excellent place to go (2k tuition for EU students).
A realistic plan is first to land a MO job at a top Dutch bank and look for an internal transfer to CorpFin-related roles (It would be difficult, but I have seen so many people able to do that). The Rabobank traineeship is one of the most Non-Dutch friendly programs that give you a chance to start at corpfin role
Even with a scholarship for Top Business School in UK/FR, I would really consider going to the Netherlands. Great macro-environment and it is not essential to speak Dutch. The UK is the best option for sure. Don't go to France unless you speak fluent french and want to stay there.
I am thinking about going for ESSEC bba to get a double degree at an asian school (keio,sjtu,peking,yonsei) and my parents are able to finance that. However i only speak an irrelevant eastern european language, english and a2 german. I read on WiWiTreff that best unis are the ones that are kinda regarded, but provide you with an ability to graduate with high grades (and where students are not really competitive,like bocconi) so i am looking at sse too.
P.S sorry for formatting wrote on mobile
That program ain't that good but in general France do not have any good bachelor in business administration because they have prepa+master. However, it can be cool to do a double degree in asia.
To be very honest with you. NL seems an open country, but it's not what you would expect.
Almost 0 Non-White/ Eastern European males would get hired for Dutch banks CorpFin-related roles.
Even worse is that Int. banks won't have/ won't expand their IB team in NL due to the 20% bonus cap (Except for Benelux Coverage, then you must be able to speak native Dutch)
I strongly recommend OP to go to the UK if you have the chance for the scholarship.
why not go to the US?
Visa problems afterwards + I know that I wont get into any US semi/target there since I have no extracurriculars. + Too expensive
