IBEB at Erasmus University Rotterdam or BSc Finance at Durham?
Im trying to break into IB (preferably a major bank in the US or UK) and I was wondering what degree is best for that. I’m considering doing a masters after graduating. If possible, I’d like to know where most IBEB or Durham Finance students end up to get a reference point. Thank you
If you are considering a master afterwards go for IBEB at Erasmus. You can aim a top master after with that degree. If you want to do only a bachelor then go to Durham to aim London. Today you need a top master for a top position in any case. Good luck
Thank you for your comment. I was thinking the same but I’m afraid of the Dutch grading system which is quite harsh. I believe it’s much easier to get a UK First than an 8.0/10 in the Dutch system, which could make me a bit less competitive for a top masters (plus IBEB has a few annoying courses like philosophy or accounting). I was also worried about internships in Rotterdam, I feel like there are more opportunities in London or somewhere in the UK. On the contrary, IBEB is way less expensive. I also have friends there so that’s nice. Finally, I know that the IBEB program is probably more rigorous than Finance at Durham. Let’s say my end goal is a top masters at Oxford, MIT, Cambridge or other great schools, what would give me the best shot at that?
Depends on you and the efforts you put in (grades you have)!
Durham by far. You want top springs on your CV to be able to convert. Durham is 1000 times better known than erasmus
ur funny
Durham. You're in the UK, you get the visa. Erasmus is non target for UK
