Bocconi or Warwick
Hi guys, Have been offered a place at Bocconi (BSc International Economics and Management) and a place at Warwick (Bsc Management), I am currently hesitating between both. Having been brought up by English parents in France, I am therefore bilingual. Hoping to end up in the USA at the end of my studies, which one is best suited for me? Which one has the best global reputation? Thanks in advance for your help, Fabio
It will be impossible to find a job in the US straight after your undergrad. First get a job in London (or Milan/Paris) and then lateral to the US after 1+ years.
That said both unis are targets, Bocconi is maybe better known in the world, but think where you want to live for 3years and if you want to learn Italian.
I thought that that would be your answer. I think you're right but I'm afraid that Bocconi is only well know in Italy, what do you think about it? Will I be able to get a job in London or Paris as easily coming from Boccconi? I love Milan and would like to learn italian so that shouldn't be a problem! Thanks for your answer :)
Short answer, yes
As a European target you can in all cases recruit for London+local office (in this case Milan), it will be harder to recruit from Paris as they usually take their analysts from their 'off-cycles' 6 month internships. Can be done nevertheless, Bocconi is seen as a top uni. Coming from Warwick you will face the same issue.
Thanks for all your answers! Paris isn't my goal to be honest, but London seems quite open to students from Bocconi I guess. Do you therefore believe that Bocconi is the best choice? Is the Bsc very good or are the Masters, being at Bocconi or Warwick, the only programs that enable these unis to have that kind of prestige?
A BSc will be good enough to get in. A masters at both will allow you to get more internships, hence getting better firms, it will allow you to go through more recruiting seasons if you dont feel prepared in your 2nd year for recruiting. Masters don't really make a difference imo, it just gives you more time before starting your career. On a side note, continental officies usually prefer master students as it's the norm there.
Bocconi. It will be the best experience for you and they place well in IBD in London.
