Hi guys, what masters would you choose for an end goal of BB/EB IBD:
Imperial Business School - MSc Finance and Accounting. UCL - MSc Finance (New this year, provided jointly by School of Management and Economics Department). Warwick - MSc Finance.
Thoughts? My first thought was Imperial, as the career statistics are excellent. However, does the Finance & Accounting play second preference compared to MSc Finance when it comes to recruiting?
Obviously the UCL course is new and hence relying on the UCL brand for recruiting - also looking at the course structure, it has limited choices for optional modules which appeals to me a bit less.
Warwick is obviously a target school and the MSc Finance is well recruited from, but would the edge in reputation of Imperial and the fact that I'll be in London benefit me when it comes to recruiting?
Many thanks.
Imperial, being in London means you can physically get to so many networking events/interviews. Placement is ridiculously good and all the banks will be recruiting there.
Best to err on the side of caution with a new course all things considered.
Warwick good but won't be nearly as fun either (although cheaper..).
Hey, just found out I have an academic scholarship for Warwick which reduces tuition by half (£17k). Do you think the edge that Imperial will have over Warwick can justify the extra cost? I also don't think that I'd enjoy living in Warwick anywhere near as much as in London.
Not sure if you're an EU citizen, but Imperial is one of the four schools in the UK's Tier 4 Visa Pilot program meaning that if you have not found a job by graduation you'll have 6 months to stay in the UK and find one - rather than 3 months at other schools. Even if you are an EU citizen this could be relevant to you depending on how Brexit turns out.

Forgot to mention that I'm a UK student, so I don't have to worry about Visa issues.
Bro you decided?
Yep, went with Imperial. PM me if you have any qs about the course
I personally would've made the same decision and gone with Imperial. Warwick is a great school and offered a good programme, but I think Imperial's proximity to employers is a real plus, especially when it comes to commuting to interviews and networking. Imperial is also a stronger brand overall across all subjects, is more well known internationally and is probably on par with Warwick in finance (it's just that more Warwick students apply for IB). The brand is lifelong so worth the extra cost IMO.
