Need help picking a uni for undergrad!
As title reads, I need help making a list of my offers for undergrad study by how easy it is to break into IB from them. I've offers from Bocconi for International Economics and Management, Manchester for Econ and Politics, and I've applied to Durham for Politics and Econ as well as Warwick for PPE and EPP (Economics, Psychology, Philosophy). How would you rank these unis for employment in London or any European finance hub? I'm a touch concerned by how hard it is to get spring weeks now along with stories of target kids in the east coast of the US not being able to land any offers at all, so that's priority by a mile. I don't speak Italian but I'm planning to pick it up, I have 6 months in the summer so it should be passable at the very least.
Bocconi > Warwick > Durham > Manchester is probably the best ranking
Also consider fees, the UK universities (probably?) cost more.
right yeah, bocconi is far cheaper than the UK, 2 years of PPE at warwick is more expensive than 3 at Bocconi. You reckon it's clear of warwick for employment, even in London? and how bad do you think me not being fluent in italian would affect me there
I’m not Italian but I think employment isn’t an issue, the single most represented university at my firm in London is Bocconi, will have to let others chime in about the language. Best of luck
Alright, thanks a ton, one last thing, how would you rank UCD and TCD in Ireland in comparison to these? the course I got in UCD was econ and finance, really technically intensive and relevant to IB, Ib even listed as a common career post graduation from the course
Neglecting base-effect fallacy. Studied one semester at Bocconi. Never saw a Uni where (esp. males) were so ultra competitive / focused on getting an IB stint in London (i.e., compared with Nordics/German/Switzerland where cohort typically was split between consulting/IB/industry roles in local/home countries).
I would say it is absolutely not a given that you place well from Bocconi - I got to know tons of (males) from the finance programmes who struck out with no internship in LDN. The people you see on linkedin from Bocconi are a lot but also don't forget to set that in relation.
.
ALSO- forgot to add, sorry, but I've also offers from TCD for PPES, and UCD for Econ and Finance.
