Master Finance and Strategy at Sciences Po
Hello everybody,
I'm new on WSO and wanted to know if you could help me regarding my masters choice. I am currently an undergraduate at UK university and I was accepted in the Master Finance and Strategy at Sciences Po in France. I want to go back in France for my master's but I don't know if this master's is well known by recruiters and if it isn't better to go to other French BSchools such as ESSEC or ESCP? I have seen that the Master in finance and strategy prepares students for CFA lvl 1 and has an double degree available in second year with the Bocconi.
I want to work in IB after my master's and don't really know if this master (Finance and Strategy) is a good option for me.
Thank you for your help !!
Hey aarrtthhuurr, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
Calling relevant professionals! wb555 Meredith-Kramon brucelee123
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Interested about what are your final thoughts about the comparison between HEC, ESSEC, ESCP & sciences po overall
With regards to reputation:
HEC>Sciences po>>ESSEC>>>ESCP
Not quite. In France, you would find HEC >>>>> ESSEC > ESCP >= Sciences Po
I am french. No way on earth ESCP is valued more than Sciences Po.
French as well and SciencePo is not at all respected for anything business related. When it comes to Finance Masters in France the following ranking is imo correct: HEC>>>ESCP>ESSEC
pm me if you have any question re FinStrat
Hey fellow Chimp,
Comparing Sciences Po per say to ESSEC or ESCP makes no sense. It would be like comparing LSE as a whole to LBS.
However, when it comes to work opportunities Sciences Po FinStrat master's degree is excellent. First of all you'd get the Sciences Po brand name, which despite being stained quite a lot these past few years still opens as many doors as before. Sciences Po is also all about networking/nepotism, even more than HEC/ESCP/ESSEC which also helps, especially if you want to do Sovereign Advisory at Lazard or R&Co for example.
I personally did pick a Top 3 Business School MiM instead of Sciences Po because I already had a master's degree in a discipline quite close to international relations, and really wanted to emphasis a career switch. But tbf, it will open you the same doors.
Hello! got some questions about Sovereign Advisory, is it possible to DM you? Much appreciated and have a nice day!
Sorry but if you want banking or anything related:
HEC MiM or MoF >> ESSEC MiM >>> others
Can’t speak much about ESSEC MoF, Seen mixed reviews. ScPo will NOT be a good choice if you’re non-French and even then if you were French, it still wouldn’t be easy to land banking roles in France or London. My friend attended the program and is still sitting at home post graduation since some 6-7 months
