its not a walk in the park and students mostly focus on finding internships during the first semester of the programme, which usually means they have to take first semester exams further down the road (usually second year or summer after the second year). Therefore, most of them dont graduate in 2 years time. Hope this helps.

Take care to get what you want,otherwise you will be forced to like what you get.
 

As Italian with an Italian bachelor and a few friends there I shoot my two cents. Yes, is true. This given they adopt the classic Italian way of teaching/learning, similar to the French one ->Less case studies, more books to memorize and high workload with less exam sessions compared to the other Eu universities. In addition to this, the first fall is really quantitative compared to other non quantitative master in finance, and if you aren't keen in stochastic/advanced math you'll hard slog

 

What other MSFs are worth attending in Europe & UK besides LBS and LSE? I've checked Warwick and they require mathematical background for even their MSc Accounting & FInance which is unusual. Same with Bath and Manchester. Other unis are flexible in UK but they're not good enough.

As you know I'm going to apply for a few masters in Europe. I think over LBS and LSE if you do a good GMAT and have a strong CV/ECs the best choices are Imperial, HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, UCL, Cass, Manheim (management with finance track) and few more. In Italy over Bocconi there is PoliMi, but is more eng focused. In Spain there are IE and ESADE, really good unis for finance/management sciences. In Germany Manheim WHU EBS or Goethe if you want to break into Frankfurt IB/IBD/MM

 

I lived in Milan for 2 months this past summer. Location is perfect (1 hour from the Alps, 2 from the beach). People think it's in Italy (yes, it is), but culturally, it's more akin to an Alpine city and most similar to other Northern European cities such as Munich, London, Paris, etc. It feels the least Italian, without a doubt.

If you go during warmer months, bring the mosquito spray. Your skin will thank me.
