MSc: Bristol vs St Andrews vs Bath vs Edinburgh

Lads,

Unfortunately I got rejected from few business school in London. Now have pending 2/3 apps in Europe, but my target - as you know - is London's fund industry.

Now I have to decide where to apply between:

  • Bristol (MSc Finance)
  • St. Andrews (MSc Banking and Finance)
  • Bath (MSc Finance and risk)
  • Edinburgh (MSc Banking and finance)

Bristol and St. Andrews look like a viable path in order to break that job mkt.

Thoughts? I know they're semi target, but would like to know in terms of OCR, career and so on, which one worth it.

Thanks!!!!

 

They're all about the same.. Not much of a premium in recruiting though since semi-targets aren't really a thing at the masters level - that said, having the brand helps if you're coming from a lower starting point.
