IBEB vs IBA at Erasmus University Rotterdam

Hi,

I am a high school student from the European Union. Next year I will apply to Erasmus University Rotterdam. I am wondering which study program to choose: International Economics and Business Economics or International Business Administration.

After graduating, I would like to do an MSc at LSE and then work at the IB or MBB in London. My ultimate goal is PE.

On the one hand, IBA seems much more interesting to me. On the other hand, I think IBEB might be a better fit for my master's degree.

Which program would you choose? Which program gives you more chances to get internships and work in MBB/IB/PE in London? Maybe some of you were in a similar situation?

Thanks in advance.

 

IBA is a business degree while IBEB an economics one. Both are part of Erasmus University. You can easily do a master at LSE with both considering you have at least a 7.5 (ideally 8) and a good GMAT. Good luck :)
