Rank European Masters in Finance Schools
Currently in the first year of my bachelor's in economics from India. Planning to do Masters in Finance in Europe right after my UG with 0 work experience. Want to work in Asset Management after my master's preferably in London but wouldn't mind France. (also I'm learning French in college).How would you rank these schools for breaking into Asset management (don't want to work in IB)LBS, LSE, Imperial, Warwick, Manchester (all MSc finance and also MSc Investment & Wealth Management at Imperial)HEC, ESCP, Edhec (all MiM)ESSEC (2yr Master in finance), Bocconi and RSM (Msc Finance)Also plan on doing CFA L1 during UG.Thank you for your time.
Target LSE (MSc in Finance) or LBS (MS in Financial Economics). Then HEC & Bocconi. Lastly, RSM if you are on a budget and want an excellent ROI for the price you pay.
Good luck
IE in Madrid
Nope, super expensive program and school. Probably one of the lowest ROI in Europe. Plus, considering the economic situation in Spain... i'd vote against
Tuition LSE MScF £39 = 47€
Tuition HEC MiF 37€
Tuition LBS MiF (no such thing as a "MS in Financial Economics at LBS) £52 = 62€
Tuition LBS MFA (as MiF requires 3-8 yrs experience) £41 = 49€
Tuition Bocconi MiF 28€
Tuition IE MiF 37€
How can you claim that to be “super expensive” when it is literally 25k cheaper than some of the masters on your list? Also, no one doing a Masters in Italy, France or Spain is trying to get a job there.
For AM:
LBS, LSE > Imperial, Bocconi, HEC > Warwick, ESCP, EDHEC, RSM, ESSEC > Manchester
Slight caveats to the above
How do you put Imperial b-school up there? Ok for STEM but for business no way!
Still a low target/borderline semi-target. The MScs aren’t that bad at all, it’s the MBA that is rubbish.
The problem with Manchester (and I know because I study there) is the lack of a “finance culture” compared to the other universities listed here. The facilities are absolutely stellar, and you’ll have more fun than any of the other universities. However, for finance go elsewhere.
Manchester’s MSc Marketing, for example, is top 5 globally, but that’s irrelevant.
Even when it comes down to societies, university resources and company events all the others edge it out.
I’ve loved my time at Manchester and wouldn’t change it for the world. But if your sole objective is to get into finance, go elsewhere.
I don't know what the guy above is saying (LBS doesn't have Master in Financial Economics, Oxford has them) but I would assume any of these would do good, assuming you are a recent grad/senior in college:
Apart from these I am not sure - I'm sure HEC or other European schools have good schools, but if you get into one of four above (or top three), you should be getting the necessary career support to achieve your goals.
Hey the Imperial Master in Finance is one league below these (at least).
