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).

 

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.

 

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)
