European target schools (comprehensive list)

Hello, after having discovered WSO a few weeks ago, I have come to realize that there is no comprehensive list of European target schools for Investment banking...

Could someone kindly provide us with a list (featuring targets, semi-targets and tiers in each category)?

I think it would help many European students as there is a lot of talk about US targets but not much for Europe (which is understandable, WSO having more members living in USA).

 

WhIch category does WHU comes in? Its a top regarded school right?

 

After having read these comments, it seems to be:

Tier 1: LBS, INSEAD, LSE, Oxbridge, LSE and HEC, Imperial

Tier 2: UCL, ESADE, ESSEC, ESCP, Paris Dauphine, IE, IMD and St Gallen

Tier 3: EMLyon, EDHEC, IESE, Warwick, Cass, Rotterdam

Maybe someone could give their opinion about this ranking? What needs to be added/moved? Also, how do these schools rank in their given tier?

 

I was just about to say. There's been a few not so successful thread previously, but your list was both comprehensive and had a lot of comments that were relevant. Shit hasn't changed that much in 6 months time.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
 

From your knowledge does Cass have a good reputation? I don't want to go there but I have been lead to believe that they have a good relationship with the city compared to other european schools.

 

ye that's what I've come to believe, a step below lbs, oxford, hec. What's annoying is that I've looked through Esade and IE and think they're really good schools but have had some feedback that points towards a poor relationship with London. Did you end up doing a MSc in Finance and if so did you find it worthwhile??

 

Sorry I didn't mention in my original post that I'm looking at pre-experience masters. INSEAD is a really good school but unfortunately for me do not do a pre-experience masters.
