Choosing a Msc in Europe
Hello to everybody,
So for various reasons I'm not that strong and my knowledge is lacking in Math (i'm talking like Integrals, Matrix operations, Ruffini etc...) but I'd like to pursue a Ms in Finance.
I'm about to start a private course to fill my lacks in the subject and put a lot of effort in it but still i'm not confident enough to take a very hard quantitative Msc.
Do you people know Msc in Finance in Europe which are less quantitative than others or majorly focused on Corporate Finance? Thanks a lot for the help.
If not considering the most known universities in Europe (I mean HEC Paris, LSE, Bocconi), I would say Erasmus University in Rotterdam, St. Gallen (pretty famous but didn’t see it often in the forum), Frankfurt, Edhec, CBS, Solvay, Zurich, Neoma, WU Wienna.
In Europe depends also a lot on the region you want to work. Btw most of the universities in the north are public and free (or almost).
Thanks for these names, their finance programs are more related to corporate finance than quantitative? Because if so i would be very interested in these schools
For Finance I would say out of the ones mentioned above:
Tier 1: LSE, HEC, Bocconi
Tier 2: Erasmus University in Rotterdam, St. Gallen
Tier 3: Frankfurt, Edhec, CBS, Solvay, Zurich, Neoma, WU Wienna.
All their programs are more about corporate finance than quantitative finance?
Depends on what you pick as courses :)
Regarding Erasmus University, You have two finance masters one from the business faculty and one from the econ faculty. The business faculty is places much stronger in IB in Europe/London and less quanty than the econ one.
HEC >> ESSEC > ESCP > EDHEC > Emlyon >> Neoma, Skema, Audencia
thanks these are only french schools right?
Yes it is
EM Lyon is better than EDHEC
What makes you say that? Both place equally in IB and EDHEC places better in S&T. Last year, more than 80% of French students who had the choice preferred EDHEC to em lyon.
Go for LBS, don't know how it hasn't been mentioned yet. Probably best placement in Europe alongside LSE and HEC and it is a really easy master academically speaking.
For context, I went to LSE and you probably don't want to be there if you are really worried about your maths.
Obviously, the best finance masters in Europe is the Oxford MFE (shares the nr 1 spot globally with MIT MFin). Everything else comes second. LBS is less quantitative/rigorous, so probably fits you the best, and shares the nr 2 spot with LSE, maybe HEC, and Cambridge MPhil Finance (just bcs of the Cambridge name)
