Need your advice for msc in fin plans

Hi everyone, I’m from Morocco and just recently graduated with a B.B.A(major : finance/minor: logistics). I had only one internship in a small branch of a bank. My gpa is 3.4 ( 2 As, 2 Bs and one C+ in finance related courses) and I am currently preparing for the GMAT. I am not quite sure how much I will get but I have 2 to 4 months to prepare for it.

I would like to study a master in finance abroad, however I still have some doubts about which country (Canada, Europe, U.S..). Ideally, I would like to work there afterwards and get some financial aid. I am aware of the current econ situation and that I have few chances since unis are selective and my gpa is not really helping but with my parents help the maximum I could pay is 20-25 thousand dollars.

With my profile, what countries/universities would you advise me to apply to?

For Canada, Richard Ivey School of business(best business school in Canada) offers a Master of Science in Management. It starts in January and last one year and a half with a project internship with a company in the summer. If you speak 2 languages, you can also be part of the MiM, which offers you a greater network, and the chance to do two semesters abroad, with school such as HEC Paris, Stockholm School of Economics, and London School of Economics. It is a bit expensive(50K) but you can get a scholarship if you are eligible.

 

I would suggest looking into Bocconi's MscFin. They have a needs-based scholarship which is measured in Euros, so this could possibly reduce your tuition significantly or even eliminate it. A lot of eastern European students go there for this reason. Their MscF program is also really good, with recruitment from both BB and EB banks, a great alumni network, and strong representation in London. Only downside is that the program is 2 years, which may or may not fit into your desired timeframe.

 

I would not mind a 2 year program. The only downside that is bothering me a bit is that it's a private uni. Thus, it eliminates all chances of finding work(in the public sector) back in my country. I was wondering if the strong recruitment that you described would also apply to a non-EU and thank you a lot for your reply !
