Hey there asking for a friend,

Which of the following programmes place best in the financial service sector in London:

LSE Finance and Accounting :

  • solid brand name
  • good alumni network
  • not the most prestigious course at LSE, so competition from within the university is fierce

Imperial Finance

  • best ranked MSc Finance programme in the UK
  • very good brand name in UK / not so much worldwide
  • very quantitative

Bocconi

  • two year advantage ( internship opportunity )
  • very good alumni network

LSE. The Imperial MSF program is very hard, you don't want to screw your gpa. Otherwise it's the better out of three if you want AM/Trading
