Please help me with next steps...

Hi guys. I am about to complete my undergrad in a BCOMM program in a lower tier university in Canada (University of Windsor). My goal is to break into investment banking...but the people I've talked to all said I'd be swimming against the tide coming from my school.

My question is: Where can I do a Master in Finance/Accounting, IN EUROPE, that will increase my chances of working at a top IB and eventually getting into PE?

I am asking about Europe because I'd like experience overseas.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Which American universities do you recommenced for a Masters program that doesn't require much work experience? My only relevant experience is as an 8-month internship in the finance department of Chrysler.

Thanks
