Master for IB/M&A

Hi guys,

I am a final year business admin and finance student from Geneva, Switzerland. My goal is to work in IB/M&A in London, and as I come from a non-target uni in Geneva and I don't have relevant experience in finance, I wanted to do a master in finance in London in order to find a good summer after graduating. So far, I have applied to LBS, LSE, and Imperial, but I have already been rejected from Imperial. I wanted to apply to 2 or 3 additional programmes, but I'm not really sure which programmes would help me achieve my professional goals. I was considering applying to IE Business School and 1 or 2 of the following:

• Warwick
• King's
• UCL
• ESADE
• NOVA

I also considered applying to Bocconi or St-Gallen, but I'm not too keen on applying for a two-year Masters.
As my goal is to work in IB, and more specifically in M&A, do you have any advice or recommendations as to which schools would be the most suited to my professional project?

Any help or advice would be appreciated, thank you guys :)

Nathan
