London B-Schools' (LBS, Imperial, Oxford) placements in Dubai, Singapore?
Hello all!
I'm planning to do my masters in finance in UK. My top picks are LBS Masters in Financial Analysis and Oxford MFE. How well do these programs place in Singapore or Dubai? My preference for work location is Singapore > Dubai > London.
How recognised is LBS in SG and Dubai? Is it possible to land into a BB after having my degree at LBS? How can it be done?
Are BBs in London hiring Non-EU students from LBS? I did a LinkedIn search and many of LBS graduates have returned to their home countries immediately after completing their studies?
Thanks in advance!
Target for both locations, but you will usually need SA experience in IB already to get FT or in a similar field.
And yes they hire non-EU in London as well.
I asked https://www.accepted.com/aboutus/jamiewright</a">Jamie Wright, currently a consultant at Accepted who previously worked in LBS admissions for 9 years and most recently was Director of Early Careers' Programs there, your questions and here is her response:
"LBS has alumni communities in both Singapore and Dubai, and, of course, a Dubai campus, giving students access access to regional knowledge and expertise, and valuable networks. The regional Asia and Middle East clubs are also a fantastic networking resource.
"Students are recruited into bulge brackets in London, but, as you may expect, London is an incredibly competitive market for those looking to enter finance, and if you require a visa this can make the recruitment process more challenging. Not impossible, but more challenging. You should be focused but flexible in your recruitment strategy, this includes to what companies and locations you apply to. And take advantage of the valuable career and network resources to the make connections and gain the knowledge that will help you land that job."
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this detailed information Linda.
