MSc Finance Bocconi vs EDHEC Grande Ecole MiM - Finance + MSc Corporate Finance & Banking?
I am Dutch, got accepted at both EDHEC and Bocconi, and now I do not know which one to go for, or if I should take any at all to be honest. I will give a short description of all three options, please add if you can, or provide insight I am missing while deciding.
1. EDHEC case: 2,5 Year Grand Ecole MiM - Finance is supposed to be a very big deal in France, however not sure what it means outside of France. I speak a decent level of French, and I am sure I can manage to learn into a good level of fluency by the time I end my program. I got a 20% scholarship, so tuition is 32.8k EUR total. EDHEC representatives I have been in contact with give off a good vibe, which gives me some confidence in the option. Life in Nice seems really great too, however I am unsure if EDHEC being #4 in France (2024 FT ranking) for Master in Finance is going to screw me or not, because they are #6 in the world to be fair.
2. Bocconi case: Two year MSc Finance at Bocconi obviously has a great well known name, and Italian food is amazing. Tuition would be a bit higher (36k EUR), but not a huge difference I would say. I get the idea from this website that Bocconi places more of their students into London, which is my goal, though I would not mind working in Paris either, prefer London though, since I assume I will always be a bit more comfortable speaking English vs French.
3. ESE Rotterdam case: one year program in Rotterdam, way cheaper (about 2.4k EUR), considering getting the MSc Financial Economics done and perhaps eventually going for an MBA at a Wharton, Harvard, Stanfard type of institution. I decided quite late to go for international business schools (in April) and barely had a week to prepare for GMAT due to graduation thesis, remaining courses, side job, and overall having a life.
I can get a favorable government loan for the tuition, interest rates will be capped at 10y treasuries and 35 year repayment time, so yea, tuition money is not the main driver, though less debt is never truly a bad thing.
Please help me out a bit, especially Bocconi and EDHEC alumna entering the job market or recently having entered the job market, I am truly struggling with choosing between three good options I'd say. Thank you.
Go to Bocconi if you are willing to spend more (and do a 2 year program), if not go to ESE especially if you are Dutch :)
Can you elaborate why EDHEC is not the right option? I notice a lot of EDHEC dismissal, while they consistently score very good in rankings. Is EDHEC being overshadowed by HEC, ESSEC and ESCP or is there another reason?
Yup... Edhec does not hold against both french and abroad... Also, not worth the price imo... :)
don’t listen to this guy, he keeps spreading bs info about european masters
please what have you done to even try to help others... please look yourself in the miroir before talking... sad
What would your take be then?
Ratione et ullam omnis pariatur ratione aliquid maiores illo. Et est optio facere nam provident aperiam. Quia quia eveniet aspernatur quaerat perferendis non.
Natus non at non esse et asperiores. Ab veniam asperiores non eaque debitis harum est. Et vitae et est animi sed placeat.
