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 Europe, you should look into Stockholm School of Economics, St Gallen and Rotterdam School of Mgmt with your financial constraints. With some $$ in scholarships maybe HEC Paris and Bocconi. (Note that SSE and Bocconi are 2-year programs)
Thank you so much paria !
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.
Thank you, I will definitely take a look at their program.
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 !
